Nestled between the Atlantic Ocean and miles of preserved natural beauty, Palm Coast has quietly become one of Florida’s most desirable places to call home. Once a hidden gem, the city now attracts families from across the country who are drawn to its balance of coastal living, community values, and modern amenities.
At David Dixon Custom Homes, we’ve built and remodeled homes throughout Palm Coast for more than 25 years — and we’ve seen firsthand why so many families are choosing to put down roots here.
1. A Lifestyle Centered Around the Coast
Palm Coast offers the best of Florida’s coastal lifestyle without the congestion of larger cities. Residents enjoy pristine beaches, boating, and fishing, along with scenic trails and waterfront dining. The area’s laid-back pace makes it ideal for raising a family or simply slowing down to enjoy the outdoors.
Local highlights:
- Easy access to Flagler Beach and the Intracoastal Waterway

Neighborhoods are designed for connection — from weekend farmers markets to local events and outdoor concerts. With a growing number of master-planned communities, it’s easy to find a neighborhood that fits your family’s lifestyle.

3. Great Schools and Safe Neighborhoods
Palm Coast is part of the highly rated Flagler County School District, offering excellent public and charter school options. Families also appreciate the city’s focus on safety and community policing, making it a peaceful place to live and raise children.
4. Space to Build and Grow
Unlike more crowded parts of Florida, Palm Coast still offers space to build — with custom home lots that take advantage of the region’s natural landscapes and water views.
