Pt. Washington
I would have to say Pt. Washington has the most full time residents and is reasonably priced. You can choose canal front, bay front or a home with water views. Close to all the schools. Very friendly, close knit family area.

Grove by the Sea (about 1 mile east of Seaside)--104 lots, 21 rental properties, the rest are permanent residences (35-40) or second homes.

I would recommend Point Washington or the west end of 30a. If on 30A, look for a non-gated community that doesn't allow short term rentals and don't buy anything in a DR Horton development.

You might check out the new development in BMB just across the street from White Cliffs. It is just now being developed.

There are a few nice developments on Mack Bayou. Point Washingto area is nice and Watersound I great. I would say it depends on what you want to spend. I live in Freeport and other than the drive south I like it and there are a wide range of prices.

I would have to disagree on this. It's hard to beat DR's value and the way they stand behind their product. There is a lot of misinformation out there people are buying into.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. It looks like I have a lot of communities to research before our next trip.

Vandelay, what thread about real estate would be complete without at lease one shameless plug from a Realtor! Please let me know if I can be of assistance; our family moved to 30A about a dozen years ago and I know the various communities both as a Realtor and as a Mom.
Thank you!

Hi,

Let me put in a (late) plug for my neighborhood, NatureWalk, off 395. If you want to be south of 98, but not right on 30A, which can be a blessing during Season, and you're wanting a full-time home, check us out. We have about 60% primary residents, 20% second home owners that don't rent, and the rest are full time rental (although most of the recent sales have been to full-time owners so those numbers may have changed). There are several families in the neighborhood and a few from the Atlanta area as well. We have lots of kids ranging in age from newborn to 16, two playgrounds, two pools, a tot pool, and fitness stations. We also have easy access to the trails in Pt. Washington State Forest. There are a few homes that are for sale and of course several new builds.

Go see Tanika or Eric at the sales office and tell them I sent you!

Felicia
