Our active senior retirement community is located in gorgeous DeLeon Springs, just minutes away from historic DeLand, Florida. Residents enjoy a quiet, natural, country setting with access to the many treasures of Volusia County, like gourmet restaurants, state and national parks, lively downtown districts, beaches, golf courses, and more. Our northwest Volusia County location in Central Florida i
s about 25 minutes away from Daytona and New Smyrna Beach and 45 miles north of the bustle of Orlando. Richard and Jeane Schuler started construction on Hidden Valley in 1957 and did almost everything himself. Richard graduated from Penn-State University with a Forestry degree. This degree equipped him with the skills needed to survey, layout, and build the community. Richard taught school by day and worked in the Park on evenings and weekends. Jeane graduated from Stetson as a music major and is our best resident relations specialist. Sadly, we lost our beloved Jeane in January of this year. Their two children, Mark and Deanna, were raised in the Park and have many fond memories of life centered around social interaction with their many, many grandparents. Mark is Vice President and Deanna works with the Park finances.
