The Homes & Style
As of 2026, Colbert Landings is a new-construction market with two national builders pricing side by side. Taylor Morrison has published pricing from about the mid $300s into the $540s across roughly 1,764 to 2,921 square feet, and Meritage Homes has advertised from the mid $300s, so the realistic center of gravity is the high $300s to mid $400s once you account for plan, lot, and options.
The base-price-versus-configured-price gap is the number-one thing first-time new-construction buyers miss. The price on the sign is a starting point; lot premiums, structural options, and design-center selections routinely add tens of thousands of dollars. Decide your true all-in budget before a model home loaded with upgrades sets your expectations, because the model is built to sell the expensive version.
The real advantage here is that two builders compete on the same corridor. Taylor Morrison, the master developer, brings the wider catalog of eight floor plans and the master-developer position; Meritage leads with energy-efficiency packaging, spray-foam insulation and efficiency specs, and has historically run aggressive financing incentives. Warranty terms, included features, and contract forms differ more than the price sheets, so get both current price-and-incentive sheets the same week, tour both, and negotiate with the runner-up's number on the table.
On incentives, both builders run rate-buydown and closing-cost credits that move effective pricing monthly, and they are frequently tied to the builder's preferred lender. That can be a genuine deal or a mediocre rate dressed up as one, so compare the builder lender's offer against an outside lender on the same terms before you accept. At quarter-end, with two builders competing, the leverage is real.
Living Here
The headline of living at Colbert Landings is the beach. Trail access sits at the front of the community, Colbert Lane carries a paved multi-use path, and the SR-100 bridge puts you at the Flagler Beach pier in roughly ten minutes of riding. It is the single most repeated reason buyers choose here, and the trail connects into the wider Palm Coast network, among the best municipal trail systems in Florida.
The plan calls for a clubhouse, a resort-style pool with cabana, pickleball courts, a playground, passive parks, and walking trails, funded through the district, which is part of what your CDD assessment buys. For a roughly 500-home community, that is a legitimate amenity campus. The honest caveat is sequencing: in new master plans, amenities deliver on the developer's schedule, not the brochure's, and this community is early in its build-out, so confirm exactly which amenities are built and open today versus planned, and get any promised-delivery language in writing before you contract.
Everyday shopping, dining, and services cluster around Palm Coast's Town Center and the European Village a short drive away, with the SR-100 corridor steadily adding retail, and AdventHealth Palm Coast serving the area's healthcare. I-95 at SR-100 is minutes away, putting St. Augustine to the north and Daytona Beach to the south within a reasonable drive.
The trade-off to live with is construction. The community itself is early in a roughly 500-home build-out, and the approved Coquina Shores plan of about 750 homes sits immediately west toward Old Kings Road. You are buying early on a corridor that will be active for years, so weigh the noise and traffic of nearby building against the upside of getting lot position and incentives early.
Before You Offer
Flagler County flooding concentrates near the Intracoastal, the coast, and the low-lying creeks, while many inland Palm Coast communities sit in lower-risk zones. The reliable move is to pull the FEMA flood designation for the exact Colbert Landings address and lot before you write an offer, since two lots in the same community can fall in different zones. Get a bindable flood and homeowners quote during your inspection period, so the cost is in your monthly math before you commit.
Pull the Colbert Landings CDD assessment for your specific parcel. The district, Palm Coast's fifth, was approved by the City Council in 2023 and funds the community's infrastructure other than water and wastewater; every parcel pays an annual operations-and-maintenance assessment, reset each year at a public budget hearing, plus bond debt service. Get the adopted budget and the parcel's TRIM notice for the real number, and confirm the community HOA amount and inclusions in the estoppel, since published HOA figures vary by builder and phase.
Because this is new construction, the systems are new, which lowers renovation risk, but it raises a different set of questions: confirm the builder's warranty terms, the included-features list versus the options you are paying for, and the contract form, all of which differ between Taylor Morrison and Meritage. Compare them on paper, not on the model-home tour.
Finally, budget the post-sale tax reset. When you buy, the assessed value resets to the new just value, and the Florida homestead exemption applies only if you qualify and file by March 1. The CDD assessment is billed separately and is not reduced by the homestead exemption, so model the true all-in monthly cost, mortgage, taxes, insurance, HOA, and CDD, before you sign.
Comparisons
The honest way to place Colbert Landings is against the other Palm Coast options a buyer is realistically weighing, since the decision is often new-versus-established and gated-versus-not.
Against Grand Landings, a larger new-construction master plan on the west side of Palm Coast, Colbert Landings trades scale for location: Grand Landings offers a bigger amenity base and more inventory, while Colbert Landings is the bike-to-beach address closer to Flagler Beach. Against the gated communities, Palm Coast Plantation and Grand Haven, the trade is the gate and the established, finished setting versus Colbert Landings' newer homes and lower entry pricing. And the approved Coquina Shores community immediately west is the long-term context: more new rooftops on the same corridor.
Colbert Landings' case in this field is geography and price competition: new construction within a bike ride of the beach, with two builders keeping pricing honest. The case against it is the brand-new CDD, an amenity program still being delivered, and years of nearby construction. A buyer who wants a gate, finished amenities, and a quiet, built-out setting today will be happier in the established communities; a buyer who wants a new home near the beach with negotiating leverage will be happier here.
Who It Fits
Colbert Landings is the right call for buyers who want a new home within a bike ride of Flagler Beach, with two national builders competing on price and incentives, and who value newer systems and a low-maintenance start. If you will pull the CDD assessment and HOA before you sign, choose a lot with permanent exposure, and use the two-builder competition as leverage, this is one of the strongest new-construction values on this side of Flagler County.
It is the wrong call for buyers who want a gated community, finished amenities, and a quiet, built-out setting today, since the amenity campus is delivering in phases and the corridor, including the approved Coquina Shores plan to the west, will be under construction for years. Buyers who want the lowest possible carrying cost with no CDD, or who will not budget the gap between base price and configured-plus-incentive pricing, regularly underestimate what ownership here actually costs month to month.
Fits
- Buyers who want new construction within a bike ride of Flagler Beach
- Buyers who value two builders competing on price and incentives
- Households who want newer systems and a low-maintenance start
- Pioneers who want lot selection and incentives early
- Buyers who will model the CDD and HOA before signing
Not a fit
- Buyers who want a gated community like Grand Haven or Palm Coast Plantation
- Anyone who needs finished amenities and a built-out setting today
- Buyers seeking the lowest carrying cost with no CDD
- Those unwilling to weather years of nearby construction
- Buyers who will not budget base-versus-incentive pricing
