Best Santa Rosa Neighborhoods--for families

Regarding #6, it's not the flood insurance that should worry you. It is the wind insurance.

Thanks Jdarg, Is there a way to estimate that on a given property?

dunelover, your additional criteria just saved you looking at about 70% of properties, narrowing your field greatly, which I think will save you much time in looking at properties which you don't want. ;-) While you may not find the property which fits all of your needs, it is likely that you will find one which will fit many of your needs.

Thanks SJ, I hope so.

Dunelover,

You're the folks with the Balance Beam manufacturing company...right?

Have you found any commerical/warehouse space yet?

.

You got it Shelly. We have been watching some on loopnet, and think there are possibilities in Freeport, Santa Rosa Beach, and possibly Panama City...Havn't heard too much talk of commercial on this site, so I have steered away from asking these folks. We will look at that in August as well.

As I recall, in addition to finding commercial space for your business, you stated that you would need to hire workers as well. IMO, during your August visit, finding commercial space in proximity to affordable housing options for your workers should be your highest priority (hint: Santa Rosa Beach isn't one of them.) . After your business location is established, only then should you consider neighborhoods that fit your criteria and are within a comfortable commuting distance from your business. You can even rent a place for a while (as your business gets up and running) to give your selected neighborhood a test drive.


Finding a suitable, affordable location for your business is going to be more difficult than finding a home.


Best of luck.

Saying it again- Mossy Head. A growing population up there because there is affordable housing, and a lot of them would love to work close to home instead of driving all the way to the beach to work. Plus, you've got a convenient I-10 exit right there.

My children just bought in Magnolia Creek. I think this is one of the best kept secrets being a straight shot to the beach.
The price was affordable, a small "gated" community, individual style homes, huge backyards, and most of all kid friendly.
