Is South Walton As A Luxury Locale Good Or Bad?

This past week I drove my daughter to the airport so she could visit a friend out of state. On the short drive I passed a blazing red Lamborghini and a sparkling silver Ferrari California on highway 98. Amazingly, the entire drive home to Santa Rosa Beach I was behind an impressive McLaren 570S. A McLaren. On highway 98.

Great article, Jason. My husband and I bought a lot in Grayton Beach over 15 years ago to build our retirement home. As SoWal started changing, I really miss Patrone's, we have listed it and unlisted it. Our little piece of paradise was changing and we didn't like it. But change is unavoidable and after looking around at other areas, we've decided to stay with SoWal. As far as Luxury Locale, it's good and bad IMHO.

Thanks much and I agree with you!

Not sure I'm clear on "gobble up every square inch of land"

Much of south walton is owned by the state or county. The rest is privately owned.

I have to laugh at the first paragraph... speaking to someone a few years ago and they were just looking around Smallmart parking lot shaking their head. I told them "yep..you know your in a special place when there are Bentleys, Mazerattis,and Lambos in the Walmart parking lot."
