THE COMMUNITY

Location:
Northwest Florida is along the Gulf of Mexico, between Pensacola on the west and Panama City on the east. We’re bounded on the south by the Gulf of Mexico and on the north by the Alabama state line.

Market:
Our primary industries are tourism and the military. We are home to Eglin Air Force Base, where all of the Air Force’s non-nuclear munitions are tested and developed. Eglin also serves as the new home of the Army 7th Special Forces Group, while Hurlburt Field is headquarters for Air Force Special Operations Command. We have a vibrant tourism and resort market along the coast.

Things to do:
Opportunities to enjoy the outdoors are abundant in Northwest Florida, including white-sand beaches, freshwater and saltwater fishing, boating, water sports and other activities. We have world-class shopping and restaurants, and an excellent Arts Center at Northwest Florida State College. Pensacola is a one-hour drive away, New Orleans four hours away.

Population:
250,000.

Median home price:
$150,000-$175,000 (Okaloosa County)
