About Marion Oaks
Marion Oaks was developed by the Deltona Corporation[5] more than thirty years ago.[when?] The real estate prices and taxes rose dramatically during the 2000s (far beyond the norm due to heavy investing and speculation); this happened only to fall back to more reasonable levels by the end of the decade. Deltona Corporation, the developer of Marion Oaks, has relocated their headquarters in the community. Currently, Deltona is building and selling newly developed single family homes in the Marion Oaks community at an increasingly fast rate due to affordability and quality construction. Marion Oaks has community areas, medical facilities, houses of worship, and a community center with a 450-seat auditorium, meeting rooms, a public library, and recreational facilities such as lighted multi-purpose sports courts.
Marion Oaks holds a spring celebration every year in April. The celebration includes a parade, health fair, book sale, talent show, car show, and many booths selling everything from homemade crafts to ethnic foods that are popular in the area.
