Retirement Living has named Palm Coast the best city in which to retire in Florida in 2024. The journal cited Palm Coast's high percentage of residents aged 65 and over and affordable home prices.

The article says Palm Coast "stands out with 30.1% of its population aged 65 and older — the highest in our study. Retirees are drawn to Palm Coast’s relaxing blend of safe, comfortable neighborhoods, sandy beaches and pristine natural beauty."

The article ranked the top 10 retirement destinations in Florida with Daytona Beach ranked No. 4 and Deltona ranked No. 9. Number 2 on the list in Cape Coral.

The section on Palm Coast goes on to say that the city offers a variety of activities including fishing, boating, tennis, golf and hiking.

"Nature lovers can also enjoy bird-watching or dolphin-spotting along the city’s well-maintained wildlife trails," the article says.

The article says Daytona Beach offers "one of the most affordable retirement options in Florida, with the second-lowest median home sale price and rent in our study ($272,500 median home sale price, $1,287 median rent)."
