Need Help Finding Family Neighborhood 0n Scenic 30A

[krenie]

Hi everyone! I am so thankful I found this site! We are considering relocating to SoWal within two years. We have 4 kids, ages 6-10. The schools in the area look fantastic, but we are a little concerned about finding a family-oriented neighborhood. Is there an area along 30A where families live year-round? We are hoping to find a neighborhood where our kids can play with friends after school, ride bikes to friends' houses, etc.. Any specific suggestions, especially from anyone who is raising a family in this area, would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much!

There's only a couple, try the one's between the Bay and Okaloosa county lines.

Seriously though, all of the neighborhoods here are family friendly. For areas with mostly year round residents, try Pt. Washington, Seaside, and Flamingo Village.

I have heard that Grove By the Sea is one of those neighborhoods. It is very cute.

Rosemary seems to be gaining more full-time residents all the time.

By the way --



The people here will tell you everything you need to know.

Sea Dunes - to the west of Gulf Place and close to Butler Elementary is family oriented - does not allow short term rentals.
It is just off 30-A and Allen Loop. I'm not sure how many children are there, but one could find out. Good luck and

Flamingo Village's advantage is that you can walk to the Butler school complex, and for less than $100, you can get an annual state park pass and use it at Topsail Hill right across the road, and Topsail's a lightly enough used park that it's practically a private beach.

Lots of great hoods! What might your price range be?

Seabreeze, east of Camp Creek Lake, on the north side of 30a has many full-time residents and families, few rentals. Short walk to beach walkovers (2) on either end of community. Low HOA fees, < $200/yr. Active HOA activities for adults.

Thanks for all of the great suggestions! We will look at these communities when we visit next month. Blessings!

February should give you a pretty good idea. However I would say deduct 50% of the elderly population you see. Those are possibly snowbirds.
