Palm Coast, Florida

It's a spread-out, low-density coastal community organized into named neighborhoods like Palm Harbor and Lehigh Woods, with easy access to the beach and a saltwater canal system. Assigned schools include Flagler-Palm Coast High and Matanzas High, and the housing mix leans heavily toward single-family homes. It suits boaters, retirees, and families who want space without big-city density.

It's relatively moderate for coastal Florida, with a median list price of $399,000 and homes recently selling at a median of $361,745. Prices span a wide range — from under $8,000 for land or fixer parcels up to nearly $5.5 million — and there are 78 active listings above $1 million for the higher end. You can browse by price to find your bracket.

The average price is about $258 per square foot, and with a median home size of 1,891 square feet, that lines up with the $399,000 median list price. There's genuine range across the market, from smaller condos and villas to large waterfront properties. The 146 condos and 10 villas active now tend to sit below the single-family median.

There are 1,138 active listings and homes are taking a median of 49 days to sell, so buyers have time to compare. Over the last 12 months 2,898 homes closed, with sellers averaging 97% of asking — meaning reasonable offers below list often land. Checking the just reduced listings can surface motivated sellers.

The median HOA runs about $224 per month, though it varies widely — many older streets have no HOA while gated communities and golf neighborhoods carry higher dues. Median property tax is around $3,633 per year, and median rent sits at $2,000 per month if you're weighing renting versus buying.
