Matanzas High School

It's a solid fit for families and buyers who want coastal Palm Coast without paying beachfront prices. The area combines canal-front homes, gated communities, and established feeder schools like Buddy Taylor Middle School, all within reach of the Flagler beaches. With 1,444 homes sold in the past year, it's an active, liquid community rather than a quiet backwater.

It's moderately priced for coastal Florida. The median list price is $465,000 and the median sold price over the last year was $414,908, at an average of $300 per square foot. There's real range too — active listings run from $7,500 for land up to $5,495,000, with 81 homes priced above $1M.

The typical home runs about 1,904 square feet at $300 per square foot, landing near that $465,000 median list price. You'll find everything from smaller canal cottages to large custom builds, and 120 of the current listings are new construction if you want something fresh.

Balanced and workable for buyers. With 631 active listings and a median 52 days on market, homes aren't flying off the shelf, and sellers are accepting around 96% of asking on average. That combination gives you room to negotiate while still moving on the right home.

The median HOA runs about $392 per month, though many non-gated Palm Coast homes carry little or no HOA — the 237 gated listings tend to sit at the higher end. Median property tax is roughly $4,858 per year. If you're renting instead, the median rent is around $2,200 per month.
