I won't give you any stats, as that would prove difficult, since as of yesterday, NatureWalk had no properties under contract, nor closed sales, according the powers whom be.
What I can tell you is that each development is totally different. Wild Heron is trying to be high profile, with extremely limited access. It is located in Panama City Beach, and I think that is a negative compared to SoWal -- just my personal opinion. They do have a beach club, but it is at minimum, a 15 minute drive to get there from any lot in Wild Heron.
WaterSound, located in SoWal is boasting of nice ammenities to come. Some of the Golf course has been started, but they have cut back a few holes and are supposedly replacing them with park like amenities. WaterSound owners will also be allowed to join the Beach Club and Camp Creek at hefty discounts. I'm not positive, but I believe that WaterSound owners will be able to access the beach, even without being a BeachClub member, via WaterSound Beach. Don't quote me on that, but it is an easy phone call away if you need to know for sure. WaterSound may look like it is in the middle of nowhere right now, but they are planning for some major changes, including as much commercial space as currently exists in Destin Commons. :shock: They will be the anchor for that end of the WalCo. If the new road gets approved, their property or somewhere really close by, will be a direct access to the new Bay Co Airport.
As for NatureWalk, see the other threads. Minuses will be the Beach Club, lack of beach access, stuck riding the trolly to wait to access the beach or the beach club, if it even goes through. Sure it was approved, but according to the Code, it will be in violation if they do what is proprosed. Just my opinion. Resale might be something else to consider. I have stated that because of their actions of ramrodding the beach club through, I will never take a listing in there. Realtors remember things like that, as do other potential buyers.
In order, my rankings would be WaterSound, Wild Heron, ... well, I will stop there.
