Palm Coast Named Among the Top 10 Best Places to Retire

The recent U.S. News & World Report ranking of “Best Places to Retire” reinforces why Palm Coast stands out: retirees today want more than just warm weather — they want lifestyle, services, community, and value. Palm Coast ticks those boxes with its coastal setting, manageable scale (versus mega-resorts), access to nature and the beach, and a cost structure that remains favorable.

What Makes It Attractive

• Location - Palm Coast is located on Florida’s Atlantic coast, south of St. Augustine and north of Daytona Beach, which gives resident’s access to the beach life without the bustle of big tourist hubs.
• Lifestyle - Options for boating, fishing, golf, hiking, biking, and nature watching abound making Palm Coast more than just “sun and sand.”
• Community - The city has a sizable proportion of residents over 55 which creates networks for socializing, services, and infrastructure tailored to active adults.
• Tax-Friendly - With no state income tax, Florida remains one of the states most favored by retirees.
• Good Value - Palm Coast offers better home and land values than other high-end retirement enclaves in the country and even other cities in within Florida.
