There are five million visitors to the Emerald Coast each year, four million of them come to see and stay in Destin.
Good Morning America rated Destin as number four of the "10 Most Beautiful Places in America". Quite a few celebrities have made Destin their home; Sheryl Crow, the author John Grisham, Chef Emeril Lagasse, and many different sports stars.
This city has built its economy around tourism, and this means buying a home in Destin can offer year-round fun and entertainment with all kinds of attractions to enjoy. Destin Harbor's Boardwalk frames the waterfront for a quarter of a mile and has made it possible to access charter boats, water sports rentals, excellent seafood restaurants, and pubs. It is a pleasant place to spend the day shopping, dining, and enjoying the boats that come and go. Events held at the Harbor are the Fishing Rodeo during the month of October, and a yearly Seafood Festival that offers residents and vacationers a mouth-watering array of local seafood.
Parks and nature preserves are all around the city, making it easy to access parks, museums, historical spots, and the Destin Community Center. Two public tennis courts are at Buck Destin Park, and the YMCA offers a public aquatic center. For shoppers, the Destin Commons shopping complex offers more than 70 stores and restaurants as well as a 14-screen AMC movie theater. GreatSchools.org rates Destin's public schools as a ten out of ten (the best), and there are 14 private schools as well. What a great place to raise a family.
Destin is a waterfront paradise and a popular vacation destination, but it is also home to many lucky locals that have chosen to purchase property here. The residential neighborhoods here are as varied as the local waterways that surround and define them. While Destin does offer some truly magnificent beachfront homes, buyers can find houses for sale to fit almost every budget.
Some of the more affordable subdivisions and properties are on the West end of the city, north of Highway 98. The West Destin area is anchored by Destin Elementary School and is also the site of the Ray Subdivision, a small community of new construction homes and lots.
The Central Destin subdivisions of Calusa Bay, Crystal Beach, Destiny East, and Emerald Lakes offer mid-range priced real estate.
Residents never need to go any further to buy the newest and the best. Nearby communities such as the Regatta Bay Golf Club homes, Kelly Plantation, and Destiny by the Sea are always popular for the luxury lifestyle and proximity to the Commons. Many of these neighborhoods are gated and offer community pools and access to other amenities.
