Palm Coast, FL Reviews

A Hidden Gem for Living or Vacationing - 8/6/2020
I actually debated writing a review, when places like Palm Coast are discovered it becomes over populated. That said, it’s selfish to keep it a secret, some people need to get away or move to a place like this to have a better quality of life.
It’s a beautiful place to live. It does have a lot of rules and regulations it those are in place to keep it beautiful. I like the idea of living somewhere that has a big HOA without the fees (and not as strict). The homes are very affordable and beautiful. Whether your house is $200k or $2 million they are all equally as beautiful, each in their own right. The beaches are breathtaking and the residents take care to keep them that way. Every store and restaurant you need is right here. Our European Village is a unique treat with wonderful restaurants and stores. Pam Coast not a city for anyone looking for excitement or nightlife and we like it that way. The good news is there’s plenty to do 30 minutes north in St. Augustine or 20 Read More

Question - 7/26/2019
Not really a review but a question. My husband and I will be moving to the Palm Coast area soon. Work from home and need to find a 2 bed house/townhouse to rent something with a yard and allows pets. No more than $1200. Can anyone Read More

A haven for smug people - 7/4/2018
Palm Coast is in between Daytona and St Aug --- both of which are much better cities than Palm Coast. This town is your typical retail FL town, with a small stretch of beach that is being battered away from the raging ocean. PC also harbors loads of retirees, so expect to slam your brakes for the oldies or out of control rich kids with their stupid looking cars. Racetrac the seemly only decently placed gas station in PC...you will find the cops will hang out there because why not? Its always a massive mess trying to find your way around the town and esp confusing for people to memorize the awful naming convention system they thought up...The traffic system is horrible with some lights taking 5min!!! Even in the dead of night or early morning. Jobs are few and far between with retail being it's biggest industry next to health care. That being said the wealth disparity is clear in the city, it's disgusting. Overall PC tries too hard to be everything St Aug and Daytona is. It's Read More

Palm Coast is a wonderful place to live! - 1/31/2018
Don't let the previous reviews fool you. The city is a hidden gem. We have low crime and the city landscaping is meticulously maintained. You can be on the beach from anywhere in the city within 15 minutes. We have little traffic compared to other coastal cities in Florida. If you love the outdoors such as biking, surfing, hiking or fishing we have a lot to do. Inshore fishing is magnificent. Read More

crime and rudeness - 3/16/2016
i think all you people who are giving palm coast poor reviews better look around. there is no place where there is no crime, no rude people, just varying degrees. it is a sad reflection of this country that it has come to this, but please stop blaming everything on the northerners. not their fault, people are rude in the south. have lived here since 1997, thinking of moving to palm coast. you will see when you go elsewhere you will have the same problems . it is the world, not palm Read More

if your thinking to move to palm coast fl, because the cheap property prices, well think again. you better be retired and bring money to buy a house cash and your car paid off and your be fine this is a total retired community, butttt if you are attracted by property prices and think you can get a job here in palm coast fl wel;l you got another thing coming, jobs here pay min wage you may get 10 an hour, but there is no jobs available, everything is back round check, drug test , etc, for just cheap jobs that don't pay nothing, if you are lucky you may become a slave at walmart or publix , getting a job in this places is like getting a job at nasa , there is absolutely no work here , this is the bottom of the can, you can get better jobs in south America then here in palm coast fl. so for working people is a must noooo. if you still wanna have warm weather investigate Miami, its more expensive yes but in Miami you can chose where you wanna work , quit and 2 days later you get another Read More

Stay away if you move to Fl - 8/13/2014
I highly recommend those who are looking to move to Florida, stay away from the Palm Coast area. A lot of the bad New York crowd, and New Jersey crowd have moved in, their reasoning? Too high of taxes up North. Now every business has either closed down, or is invaded by rude New Yorkers. The neighborhoods now have a lot of crime, gun shots, murders, there are over 99 sex offenders in the area alone. We moved here 6 years ago, and we are leaving this year, we cannot possibly raise our children here. The schools are horrible, over crowded and full of "gangs". I would research the area before even moving to Florida, or even around Palm Coast. Read More

2013 Palm Coast Review - Don't Be Fooled - 11/18/2013
For anybody considering moving to Florida in general, I would highly recommend you do your due-diligence. I used to come here (Jacksonville) on business quite often, thinking, wow, Florida would be a nice place to live someday. Boy was I wrong. The Job Market here in Florida is pretty much non-existent, and it is apparant the crime is rapid (depending on where you are at), of course as we all know crime is everywhere but not as previlant as what it appears here in Florida. Don't believe me?? Turn on and watch the local evening news and that is 95% of what the news casts are about, very disappointing at best. Now back to Palm Coast.....The entry into Palm Coast is very attractive with beautiful landscaped areas. Don't be fooled. When you enter any neighborhoods, you will notice a few houses that are very nicely landscaped and the rest of the neighborhood looks very low-end. It is apparant you have those who take pride in the homes and residential areas and those who don't. There a Read More

sneeky Politicians - 4/29/2013
I have lived here for 9 yrs. and by far the worst city I have ever lived in. The Mayor has his own agendas and does not care about the welfare of its people. Speeding and crime is vey high. The Mayor had red light cameras installed on just about every traffic light in town, there have been many blogs in the local paper about how furious residents are about these cameras and will not shop in the city because of it. We have the highest water bills in the state and the Mayor just raised it again, 20% over the next three years. Average water bill for family of 4 is about $120.00 per month. There is limited shopping, if you want good shopping you have to go to Daytona or St Agustine which is a 30 minute drive either north or south on 95.
Eateries are so so and limited. I am really sorry I chose this crappy city to move to. Read More
