I live in Palm Coast, I love it here. Has Everything so close, Target, Ross, TJ Maxx, Michaels, Bath & body works, Dollar Tree, Dunkin Donuts, Mc Donald, Star Bucks, Race Track, Wawa, Aldi, City Hall, The Court house, Olive Garden, Walgreens, Winn Dixie, Publix, Firehouse subs, so many to name only 10 to 15 min away including the hospital on Hwy 100, Walmart 20 to 25 min away if your going North or South. 15 min from the beach, Hardly no traffic, views are beautiful and the beaches. Lots of Medical buildings here and in Daytona Beach. You name it you can find it. Awesome place to live. So glad I moved here from Fort Lauderdale. What a major difference.

This is a very good video because it avoids the common topics covered in other videos (which are very boring by the way, and generalized to the point they are almost meaningless) and basically gives you the inside scoop on important things which people from outside the area would not be aware of. I am looking for a home in palm Coast now and thru a lot of work and time have discovered the things Michelle points out. Save yourself some time and invest 20 minutes in this video.

You have to get a permit to change your front door. You have to get a permit to put a shed up or a fence up. They permit you to death with fees and Palm Coast. The neighbors are constantly calling code enforcement and reporting your business. Most people that have been in Flagler County, including Palm Coast, which is a city of Flagler County. Don’t go to hospitals in Flagler County if they can make it to the one in Ormond or Halifax or Jacksonville or St Augustine.

Absolutely! One of my personal favorites is Jungle Hut Park in Palm Coast - located in the Hammock.

[@imawatchin6295]

Roofers and other service providers don’t want to do business in Flagler County because Flagler County are assholes to deal with. They were supposed to be to Panera in the county, but it was so difficult to build one. They decided they wouldn’t do the second one. There’s no money to be made in Flagler County unless you’re in the click, the traffic is horrendous because the infrastructure wasn’t developed for the expanded population. What most people don’t know was Palm Coast used to be all swamp and they’ve dredged canals and cut down trees and built it up to become a city. The older homes experienced cracking walls as the buried decade trees began to rotten settle. There are some really cheap built homes in Palm Coast so beware when you’re buying. Palm Coast is the majority of the county therefore that’s where the majority of the crimes at. People and Palm Coast are not too friendly and there’s really nothing there to do other than go to a few golf courses or to the beach. Do yourself a favor go north to St Augustine.

Cons: 1. Poor infrastructure. 2. Decentralized neighbourhoods. 3. The cancel culture is prevalent. 4. No practical "user friendly " public transportation for those who are not able to drive. 5. Expensive. 6. Anti-social and cliquey. 7. The weather is inclement. 8. Traffic is hazardous (traffic violators are an overwhelming issue.) 9. Poor job market. 10. Very limited recreation. 11. Isolated. 12. HOAs and Code enforcement.

[@michellemckinney2496]

I can definitely add this topic to include in an upcoming video. Thanks for the suggestion! Interestingly enough - 𝙢𝙤𝙨𝙩 of Palm Coast is not in a Flood zone, or is classified as what insurance agents refer to as a "𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙛𝙚𝙧𝙧𝙚𝙙 𝙛𝙡𝙤𝙤𝙙 𝙯𝙤𝙣𝙚" (flood Zone X), and does not require flood insurance. Because it's not required, it's pretty affordable should a homeowner elect to purchase flood insurance. Great comment!

[@jeffmorse645]

​@NathanPhelpsMcPhelpsius My new build is about a foot higher than the two undeveloped lots adjacent to me (corner lot). Lots of new builds around me in the P section and I haven't seen any higher than existing home next to them. I know there are some really bad new builds around town that are way higher than their neighbors, but I don't think they're the rule.

[@NathanPhelpsMcPhelpsius]

@@jeffmorse645 It's not every new build; It is a very common thread though. City council meetings are getting swarmed with these complaints. On top of that, people are opting for new builds over buying homes off the market (obviously your freedom and prerogative). Builders love getting paid to build, but it hurts home sellers that are more and more having to sell under asking price. I bought mine under asking price last year.

Are you local to Palm Coast? Do you like living here if that's the case? Your comments have me curious if perhaps the desire to deter people from moving here may be the motivation. I could be wrong, but I'm starting to wonder. I love living here, and have since 2010! Even if I wasn't a Realtor; I would have probably made these videos.

From what I understand, there were a lot of wetlands that required a lot of fill to develop.

As far as some of the areas sinking… I haven’t heard anything about that, but I’ll look into it, and see what I can find out. :)

Thanks for the info... I’m a young guy being transferred to Palm Coast to build houses. Are there young women there? Wondering potential for a future spouse

[@michellemckinney2496]

Well, Palm Coast isn't much of a nightlife area except for some of the restaurants and bars in Flagler Beach or perhaps European Village in Palm Coast. The good news is you're not too far from Ormond, Daytona, and Saint Augustine if you'd like to go out for a night on the town. :-)

[@imawatchin6295]

Code enforcement goes around looking for things to bitch about!! Palm Coast is a very unfriendly place to live. Even the sheriff has his officers dress up like Santa Claus and uncle Sam and hold radar detectors to Radio to another officer nearby to nail your ass you get distracted and then get busted. Flagler County has the highest gas prices around you can’t afford to shop in Palm Coast. If you’re on a budget, you go to Daytona or St Augustine or Jacksonville or Orlando. The turnover of homes and people moving out of the city should be a pretty clear indication. It’s not the best place to live.

[@SgtSabotage]

Do you have a farmers market?

[@michellemckinney2496]

Sure do! Here’s the website: flagler-palm-coast-farmers-market.business.site/?

@@michellemckinney2496 Thanks, looks gorgeous.

[@gomez2724]

Everyone who does videos says there is no shopping....name a city like this that does? If you want a mall, go to Daytona, St. Augustine, Jacksonville or Orlando.....OH that's right, Daytona is a dump, and the others are higher priced housing wise...move to St. Augustine where the biggest con is traffic and tourists! Orlando and Jacksonville where it's a major metropolitan city and prices are outrageous!

[@webfiddler228]

There is NO shopping in Palm Coast other than Walmart. Period.

[@TruggyDriver69]

Palm Coast pretty much sucks now. Was great in the 70’s and early to mid 80’s. Has gone deeply down hill since then. The drugs and homeless situation is horrible especially in the B and R sections, and yes code enforcement Nazis. Oh and the FCSO is a complete joke. I can go on and on but ugh, it would rate too many days of writing. Basically when ITT left it turned into a shit show.

Stop coming, we full.

[@christy1705]

Do u guys have good pediatricians

[@michellemckinney2496]

I may be partial.... but I absolutely adore Dr. Michael Davis. He's based right here in our Palm Coast Advent Health Hospital, and there is a wonderful pediatric ER in Ormond Beach (about a 20 minute drive from the south end of Palm Coast) at Advent Memorial.

[@imawatchin6295]

Nope! Good luck finding a decent Dr at all in Flagler County (Palm Coast is the largest city within Flagler County, which consists of about 85% of the counties population.)

[@sondragrant2132]

Please make it short and do not repeat same thing over and over once is enough. thank you

Thanks for watching, and for taking the time to provide feedback! This was my very first informational video - hoping it will only get better with time, and practice. :-)

[@lindaminetti2723]

Can you elaborate?

[@chachee15]

This list was pretty lazy and stupid

[@stephenthegreat6677]

I love internet bullies… smh! Instead of spreading negative energy, why don’t you roll on and worry about yourself. She obviously took the time out of her day to make this video. Now for the lady, THANKS FOR SHARING THIS VALUABLE INFORMATION. I wish I knew this before I moved here. I will definitely use you to list and sell my homes. Very informative.

[@John-mg7wv]

Ignore this guy good info

[@michellemckinney2496]

Thank you for your input! Feedback is always a useful tool; positive or negative. This list was actually something I worked on for quite some time taking into consideration the plethora of questions I am asked from people who are thinking about moving to this area as well as what I personally considered prior to moving here as well as trying keep my video from being too long. While my video was not scripted (I'm a true believer of just being myself), I did curate this list as bullet points with a lot of thought behind it. I do need to update this video for 2022, so if you are from the area and have some pros and cons that you think would be good topics to discuss I'd love to look into them, conduct some research, and possibly discuss in my coming video. I'm all about learning, growing, and sharing what I have learned. Have an amazing 2022!

I especially like the rattlesnakes & scorpions in the yard, and the hurricanes with flooding... but Jacksonville being 50% NOT White, and a murder capital is also very comforting I must say.

[@imawatchin6295]

You have to get a permit to change your front door. You have to get a permit to put a shed up or a fence up. They permit you to death with fees and Palm Coast. The neighbors are constantly calling code enforcement and reporting your business. Most people that have been in Flagler County, including Palm Coast, which is a city of Flagler County. Don’t go to hospitals in Flagler County if they can make it to the one in Ormond or Halifax or Jacksonville or St Augustine.
