We just moved, couldn't wait to get out of palm coast!

[@LIVINGINSTAUGUSTINE]

What didn't you like about Palm Coast that forced you to move?

[@stephaniesoter9969]

At 7:06 you described everything at Hammock Beach Resort, but called it Hammock Dunes which is a private gated community with a private golf club. The 2 facilities are essentially next to each other (each have an ocean course and an inland course), but one is private and the other is a hotel.

[@LIVINGINSTAUGUSTINE]

Thank you for correcting me. I get them switched up a bunch when talking. Why they would name them so similar and put them right across the street from each other I'll never know. But you can live at hammock Beach and choose to pay or not pay for the resort

[@barrywainwright3391]

Palm Coast used to be affordable. Homes for rent used to be $800 a month and new homes on average used to be $125. Now prices have tripled. And it became highly congested with tons of traffic. Paradise has been destroyed but it is very clean and beautiful there. It caters to wealthy folks.

[@LIVINGINSTAUGUSTINE]

It's definitely changing very quickly. Some things for the worse like traffic and most things for the better, like food and shopping Do you live in Palm Coast

[@Ndw1995]

Meanwhile some folks who visit love how inexpensive it is compared to the rest of the state & country, and how quiet it is. Perspective is everything

[@LIVINGINSTAUGUSTINE]

@@Ndw1995 1000%. It's hard for me to explain that to a local. They have never lived anywhere else and don't realize how good we got it. 20 mins to the beach in the NE is crazy comparatively when you talk prices

[@andonedave]

Have lived in Palm Coast for 10 years and it used to be a charming, quiet beach town. I guess it still is but for how much longer? With all the building how much longer before Palm Coast becomes just like all the other overcrowded beach town that we avoided moving to? Some expansion is fine but once you go too far, you can’t go back.

[@LIVINGINSTAUGUSTINE]

People want to live close to the beach and the intracoastal. Palm Coast and many areas of Florida are changing. There isn't much you can do about it. If you don't build then the prices would go even higher. A double edged sword for sure

[@505speeds]

Great info!

[@LIVINGINSTAUGUSTINE]

Thank you sir! Maybe considering palm coast?

[@anjibrazell]

Hi! I've been in Palm Coast for 32 years!! I am a Daytona Beach native; born and raised and schooled in Daytona. I moved to NYC as a very young adult and lived there, Indianapolis, Memphis, and Atlanta. I moved back to Florida with my family in 1992 and we ended up in Palm Coast. My husband and I have raised our 3 kids here and our church family is here. The exit to the beach on 100 from I95 is the shortest exit to the Atlantic Ocean on the entire interstate 95, from Maine to Key West. Palm Coast government sorta acts like an HOA, but that isn't always bad. I've forgotten more about Palm Coast than y'all have time for!! LOLs!! Just kidding, but it has been a really good place to raise our family, and they all want to come back here! Now that SR 100 is getting so many business places, there are more options in Palm Coast-- we don't always have to go to Daytona or StAug to shop or get services. We are getting TOO MANY HOUSES and apartment buildings and where the heck are all these people coming from? It's not only the NYC-NJ area, anymore!

[@LIVINGINSTAUGUSTINE]

Thanks for your insight! I've helped people from all over the country move to the area. It's pretty crazy! But Palm Coast offers what many coastal towns dont have anymore. A slower pace

[@sterlinelouisrn555]

Hello. Is the floads since it is close to the ocean?

[@LIVINGINSTAUGUSTINE]

It can flood yes. It depends on what flood zone you are in and the elevation of the home

[@bucshot78]

How do hurricanes affect the 2 roadways?

[@LIVINGINSTAUGUSTINE]

As in 100 and Palm Coast Parkway? It's mostly in Flood Zone X so it shouldn't stop anything. A1A is a different story

[@Loagz_Beatz]

My pop just moved there he doesn't like it lol

[@LIVINGINSTAUGUSTINE]

Lol! What doesn't he like? Where did he move from?

[@daisywali5739]

Hello how about the hurricanes please explain

[@LIVINGINSTAUGUSTINE]

We get hurricanes. No doubt about that. Most are not serious. We haven't got a direct hit in a long time. Do you plan on living on the water?

[@liliacarvalho6980]

Great info! How is the job market in Palm Coast?

[@LIVINGINSTAUGUSTINE]

There really isn't much industry there. What type of work do you do

[@liliacarvalho6980]

I do Admin work and my husband does renovations.

[@LIVINGINSTAUGUSTINE]

@@liliacarvalho6980 I'm sure you can find work for both of those professions. Most of the housing in Palm Coast is older so renovation/blue collar work is at a premium at the moment.

[@liliacarvalho6980]

Thanks, Sounds good!

[@JacksonvilleFloridaLiving]

nice!

[@LIVINGINSTAUGUSTINE]

Thanks guy!

[@chaskpc]

One slight mistake that you near the end of the video, you said Hammock Dunes is luxury resort on the ocean. You meant Hammock Beach is the resort, not Hammock Dunes. Hammock Dunes is totally private.

[@LIVINGINSTAUGUSTINE]

I'm get them confused 100% of the time lol

[@shanetucker549]

:) you left out the water issue where your water can just be cut off for a day because of the shortage and your limited on your usage and yes I live in palm coast on Cottonton :)

[@LIVINGINSTAUGUSTINE]

I've never heard of people having that problem. It's time to invest in a well!

[@Alittlelsdy]

@@LIVINGINSTAUGUSTINEthis doesn’t happen in Palm Coast. Yet I don’t live over the bridge.

[@LIVINGINSTAUGUSTINE]

@@Alittlelsdy it was the first I've heard of it 🤷‍♂️

[@anjibrazell]

@@LIVINGINSTAUGUSTINE Never heard of this. Maybe they don't pay their astronomically high water bill. (PC resident, here)

[@LIVINGINSTAUGUSTINE]

@@anjibrazell very possible lol

[@NathanPhelpsMcPhelpsius]

Please note: the entire town is run like an HOA that controls everything to enforce a single lifestyle. It's very frustrating to like half the citizenry. Heavy fines for just about anything, and if you have a car for work, RV, or boat it can't be in your driveway. Don't fall in love with the greenery, because it will be rezoned and plowed for condos over night. It's a great location with lovely parks. Flagler Beach next door is a nice, calm area, but it is going to be overwhelmed by tourism in the next two years because of a Margaritaville hotel. I work from home and enjoy some things about it, but I don't love the control the government keeps over the town. Also, the new builds are being built higher than the houses next to them, so tenured citizens are getting their houses and yards flooded by water run off.

[@LIVINGINSTAUGUSTINE]

All of what this guy says is true. I've covered these points in separate videos and livestreams. It works for some people and doesn't work for others

[@ericrobison4560]

Absolutely stunning area

[@LIVINGINSTAUGUSTINE]

Do you live there?

[@williamscottcandles1411]

We are on our way! Hurricane or not! Thanks Thomas

[@LIVINGINSTAUGUSTINE]

Lol. Did you buy a house?

[@overundersidewaysdown]

Live here. Love here!

[@LIVINGINSTAUGUSTINE]

What do you like the most about it?

[@overundersidewaysdown]

@@LIVINGINSTAUGUSTINE Close to the beach and St. Augustine. Love the lush landscape and pines and palms. Safe.

[@LIVINGINSTAUGUSTINE]

@@overundersidewaysdown awesome! Where did you move from?

[@overundersidewaysdown]

@@LIVINGINSTAUGUSTINE Rancho Cucamonga, California

[@LIVINGINSTAUGUSTINE]

@@overundersidewaysdown what made you move from Cali?

[@miketron8519]

Palm Coast only hires the dumbest traffic engineers they can find. Palm Coast parkway is a good example. All of the curb and gutter layouts in our shopping centers is actually designed to make you have a fender bender.

[@LIVINGINSTAUGUSTINE]

😆 🤣 have you gotten in a couple accidents?

[@daniahernandez7019]

Food Places sucks, and traffic sucks getting worse. Best thing you can find in Palm Coast, not jobs.

[@LIVINGINSTAUGUSTINE]

I outlined the limited options for food. How long have you lived there?

[@nancymcclain2533]

Why are you highlighting the Hammocks. The rest of the City is great too. I love Palm Coast> i live in F section. And I'm so satisfied with everything.

[@LIVINGINSTAUGUSTINE]

I agree. I just can only fit so much into a video. I'm working on another palm coast video. What would you want to see on it?

[@bobbijojacobowitz4841]

Good morning. I am an agent in FL and we are selling our Ocala home and moving to Palm Coast. Wondering what the job market is like and how strict the city is on building container homes on our own land? @@LIVINGINSTAUGUSTINE

[@frankcatrini4816]

that pizza looked terrible

[@LIVINGINSTAUGUSTINE]

I think that was their lunch pie and my buddy through the kitchen sink on there. Lol. I assure you everything there is great!

[@fctazz]

@@LIVINGINSTAUGUSTINE if we decide to check out that area will drop in, but I'm a new York style pizza coinesuier and it looked more like a dominoes type but Can't judge a book by its cover

[@LIVINGINSTAUGUSTINE]

@@fctazz I am definitely a pizza lover. From Brooklyn myself. St augustine has some great pizza!

[@fctazz]

@@LIVINGINSTAUGUSTINE thanks. Over here in sarasota and is just way to busy here

[@LIVINGINSTAUGUSTINE]

@@fctazz Sarasota is a great little town. I know a lot of people decide between the 2 for relocation

[@karencoogan5405]

Had a house built there lasted 2 yrs could not stand it 👎

[@LIVINGINSTAUGUSTINE]

Haha why's that?

[@7flag]

Palm Coast is the most overcrowded town and high traffic high crime expensive definitely not a place to retire to and there are also tons of illegals

[@LIVINGINSTAUGUSTINE]

Lol! What!? It literally just got rated one of the safest places to live in Florida. Do you live in Palm Coast?

[@acmecompany]

I agree, palm coast is a zoo! You can’t even go to the stores without getting abducted!

[@LIVINGINSTAUGUSTINE]

@@acmecompany those are probably both your profiles 😆. If you run a construction business you are benefitting from the growth. For anyone reading. Acmecompany has been trolling my palm coast stuff for over a year now. Please check it out for yourself and don't listen to this clown 🤡

[@barrywainwright3391]

It used to be nice, but prices of homes have tripled. You have to be wealthy to live there.

[@eddie3064]

​@@LIVINGINSTAUGUSTINE Lol. That guy trolls ALL Palm Coast videos and tells everyone in ear shot not to move there. He must have nothimg else to do. Anyway, I will be checking out Palm Coast in 2 weeks looking for places to live. We will rent for a year or two to see how the market plays out. Can't wait!

[@robertquail5838]

Stay away we are full. These are evil relator.

[@LIVINGINSTAUGUSTINE]

Lol 😆 ok buddy

[@tm1180]

The other side of the Intercoastal, which means our house won't be flooded or decimated after a hurricane

[@LIVINGINSTAUGUSTINE]

The flooding can be really bad in some areas. What do you think of all the development

[@Jack-russell103]

Intracoastal
