Location Summary
Palm Coast Overview
The Auto Ranch Palm Coast sits at 11 Hargrove Lane inside the State Road 100 and Town Center growth corridor, the commercial spine of Flagler County. The location pairs interstate reach with immediate trade-area affluence: Interstate 95 is roughly two miles west via the State Road 100 interchange, US-1 runs parallel just beyond it, and Flagler Executive Airport is about five miles north for owners who arrive by private aircraft. That access profile, dry enclosed positioning, and a coastal setting align with the way affluent households here store boats, RVs, and collector vehicles.
The immediate trade area skews older, established, and asset-rich rather than income-transient. Within five miles the median age is 52.9, nearly half of residents are 55 or older, and one in six households keeps three or more vehicles. Median home value inside three miles is $397,326, and seasonal units make up roughly one in ten homes, a signature of the second-home and snowbird ownership that drives enclosed private garage demand.
As inherited regional context, Florida carries no state income tax and led all states with a net positive $20.6 billion in adjusted-gross-income in-migration in the latest IRS year, the engine relocating affluent households into markets like this one. Flagler County has been among Florida's fastest-growing counties, adding roughly 25,000 residents from 2020 to 2025.

AdventHealth also opened a combined urgent care and Primary Care+ clinic on State Road 100 in June 2026, the first such pairing in the county.
- Flagler Executive Airport terminal: An $11.2 million, 15,500-square-foot general aviation terminal broke ground in April 2025 with completion targeted for late 2026, capping roughly $65 million in cumulative airport improvements since 2009, about five miles from the site.
