Neighborhoods and Real Estate

Many of the famous beach communities on 30A, such as Blue Mountain Beach, Dune Allen Beach, Watercolor, and Seaside are technically sub-communities of Santa Rosa Beach. This adds a unique charm, setting it apart from a stereotypical beach town because of its diverse architecture within these communities. "Travel + Leisure" must have agreed, because they named Santa Rosa Beach one of their top five favorite towns in America in 2014. Because of the ultra clear water and stunning white sand beaches, a house, condo, townhome, or mansion purchased here can make a great investment property. With busy season from March to September, many second homeowners decide to rent their home out as a short-term rental to not only cover their mortgage, but make money, as well. Some of the most sought-after neighborhoods in this area are Gulf Dunes, Stallworth Preserve, Seaside, and Watercolor. However, if you are looking for a more budget friendly option, the subdivisions of Escada, Mack Bayou, or Chat Holly are great, family-oriented communities that will not break the bank.
