Buyers Florida home-buying hint: Many Florida homes are designed such that residents “live and entertain” out of the back side of the house. Many Floridians appreciate homes backing to the east as this one does. The back-facing windows, lanai and pool areas become more shaded as the sun moves westward and the day heats up.

Why pay South Florida prices. Living in Palm Coast, you enjoy close proximity to miles of Atlantic beaches with plenty of free public access and, miles of walking and biking paths. The City of Palm Coast holds more than 80,000 residents, yet all one sees looking west from the bridge spanning the ICW is a broad tree canopy. And the construction methods and materials are up to date too. Because much of the area’s growth is recent, more than half of the residential properties in Flagler County were built since 2002.
