The 2020 Volusia County Parade of Homes awards are in! Parade of Homes events around the country looked different this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. But, although this year’s Parade was delayed by six months and the Volusia Building Industry Association was unable to host their usual awards banquet, we were still excited to be able to participate in this year’s event. ICI Homes received 9 awards this year, including the Showcase Community award for Verona Oceanside!

Verona Oceanside: Showcase Community

Our newest community, located just 44 steps from the beach in Ormond by the Sea, had the honor of being the VBIA’s Parade of Homes Showcase Community this year! When you walk those 44 short steps to the beach, you’ll be greeted by Verona’s signature landmark – a historic World War II Watchtower. Few towers survived after the war and this is one of the last remaining in Florida. It stands as a monument to the civilian men and women who served their country in her hour of need.

The Watchtower was built and manned by those who not only had a sense of patriotism and heroism, but also a sense of community. We want to honor that sense of community in Verona. Verona features fewer than 60 home sites, so you can truly get to know your neighbors. We currently offer custom single-family homes and will soon offer luxury townhomes in an upcoming phase.

This year’s Parade of Homes awards

In addition to our showcase community award, several of our individual model homes won awards this year! We entered a variety of models into this year’s parade, showcasing our offerings in everything from Ormond Beach townhomes to estate homes in Port Orange.
