The only people wanted in South Walton CO are tourists and millionaires according to the cost of living index here. Working class "folks" are not wanted, move north of D Funk and commute is what we are being told. The fat cats in Walton keep getting fatter by not letting any competion in the area. Wheter it be fast food, real estate, gas or the "widget". To live south of the bay it takes 150k plus per year. Get out and vote them out.

It's expensive to live here, but doable. I live south of the bay on an income of FAR less than $150K.
FYI, there is already a restaurant w/ a drive-thru window, a Subway, and 2 Starbucks on 30-A.

Blue Orleans!
You don't talk into a clown's mouth or anything, but it is there for to-go orders.

Demographic info for zip code 32549- Santa Rosa Beach
http://www.zipskinny.com/index.php?zip=32459
Median household income is $42,359 a year, which is lower not only than Destin ($52K a year) but also Niceville ($54K a year, and surprisingly the highest family income zip code in the central/western Panhandle) Shalimar ($51K a year) and several other places along the coast.
So for an average family looking to buy a first home in the 32549 would be looking for something less than $140K. Five years ago, you could find a small but nice home in Flamingo Village at that price. Now, Bueller? Bueller?

Thanks for all the info Donna. Affordable housing, especially for the elder, is one thing but McDonald's is quite another. I hope we can keep all the junk food places and the trash they create out of South Walton. I am truly amazed already at the litter on the beach and roadsides in such a beautiful gift from God and Mother Nature. We are all so blessed to even be able to see such beauty.
Wonder if there is any special housing for the elderly in South Walton?
we love Thomas' donuts' down there on Laguna Beach when we're down there! Burgers, malts-even a fish burger! Cheap too.
Anyone looking for a very affordable vacation rental in Seacrest Beach check out our townhouse www.a1vacations.com/217515.
which listing is yours, when I go to that link I get multiple listings.

Minnie,
This is one of those "flashback" threads. The post you are quoting was written in MARCH 2006. (19 months ago)
Suffice to say....."affordable" housing, since the RE frenzy, was, is, and will continue to be extinct in South Walton county.
