PALM COAST
Palm Coast is located on the northeast side of Florida nestled in between Jacksonville & Daytona Beach with just under 100,000 residents. Palm Coast was started by ITT & they used Garfield® as their marketing mascot. It has 80 miles of salt water and fresh water canals making it an outdoor lover’s dream. Palm Coast is divided into subdivisions throughout so it is important when looking to move or relocate that you research what area would be the best fit for you. Below is a list of Palm Coast subdivisions with a brief explanation. You will see each subdivision is referred as a letter rather than the actual name by locals. This is simply because the streets in that subdivision begin mainly with that letter or because it is a nick name of the subdivision based on the location. It can be quite confusing to some, but before you know it, you will be referring to your new digs this way too.
