Flagler County
is located midway between Daytona Beach and St. Augustine, bordered on the east by 19 miles of Atlantic coast beaches. Exit 284 on Interstate 95 is the closest exit to the beach all the way from Maine to Miami. One of Florida’s newest “hot” destinations, Flagler County is one of the fastest growing counties anywhere in the nation, and attracts families, as well as retirees. It offers peaceful, uncrowded beaches, subtropical forests, historic spots, tranquil waterways and the spectacular Atlantic Ocean, along with a year round mild climate, first-class recreational facilities and close proximity to cultural centers and five star resorts. Oranges, sugar and steamboats created the small coastal towns in Flagler County and their preserved downtown areas recall the heyday of “Old Florida.” For a taste of the bygone era, stroll the Flagler Beach Historical District and Museum, the Holden House Museum, Bulow Plantation Ruins State Park and the Florida Agricultural Museum, which is an outdoor, living history park currently under development. Charming outdoor restaurants and cafes, quaint shops, hotels and bed and breakfast inns, along with small town festivals and special events, makes the area an attractive tourist spot. The communities of Flagler County are Bunnell, Marineland, Flagler Beach and Palm Coast.
 The real estate market is vast and varied in Flagler County, everything from fabulous beachside condominium communities, luxurious golf communities, single family homes, long and short term rentals. Below is a brief description of each of the four areas of Flagler County.
