About Bunnell
Bunnell serves as the county seat of Flagler County and represents a different side of the Palm Coast area - one rooted in old Florida agricultural heritage and small-town values. Located just 10 minutes west of Palm Coast, Bunnell offers affordable living and authentic rural character.
The historic downtown district centers around the Flagler County Courthouse and features well-preserved buildings from the early 20th century. Local government offices, small businesses, and community services create a traditional county seat atmosphere that contrasts with Palm Coast's planned community design.
Bunnell's real estate market attracts buyers seeking value and space. Properties here often feature larger lots, agricultural zoning options, and prices well below comparable homes in Palm Coast. The community appeals to those who prefer rural living while maintaining easy access to Palm Coast's amenities.
The town has experienced growth as Flagler County expands, with new residential developments bringing modern housing options while the historic core maintains its character. Local restaurants, shops, and services cater to both longtime residents and newcomers.
For Palm Coast residents, Bunnell provides convenient access to county government services, agricultural properties, and an alternative to suburban development. The proximity to I-95 makes Bunnell equally accessible to Jacksonville and Daytona Beach.
