Palm Coast, FLORIDA

Palm Coast, Florida has affordable housing. It is a mixture of all cultures. It is a well kept area. But very hot long summers typical of Fl with summer thunderstorms sometimes. Churches of all religions from close and afar. Palm Coast FL is mostly flat, mowed fields with subdivision cheap houses on it and very few trees. Just flat and hot with dirty canals to collect the water so it doesn't flood too much. There were some trees but most were bulldozed down to make building a bunch of flat cheap homes easier. The big banks stole many houses so most streets have 10+ terrible looking vacant houses that the Big Banks and gov Fannie Mae refuse to rent or sell. A severe shortage of housing if you are looking to lease, as the houses here are kept vacant. These houses could all be rented in a week as so many need to rent houses here, but the big banks and the gov have made so much in stealing these houses that they refuse to rent them, even though there are many responsible families and couples and singles that all want to rent them. Many have been forced to leave the area, unable to find rental housing here. Very few if any jobs unless you can get a job with the City of Palm Coast. A few big box stores and a few retail stores and thats about it. If you rent or buy, check on the water bill for the house, as water bills are very high here. Many install a water well for affordable water, especially for the yard. To get to the beach, you have to pay $2 in Palm Coast to cross the bridge or drive north on US1 to St Augustine 15-25 miles north of Palm Coast. St Augustine has 10+ miles of wide beaches that at this time still allow leashed dogs and must pick up poop at all times to keep the beaches clean for everyone. Northeast Florida is one of the last few places that allow dogs on the beach. Most of Florida hates dogs and will not allow dogs on most beaches around the state. Florida itself is not the most friendly state and not a good place to make friends. Hope that helps.
