Perhaps the most well-known city along Florida’s coastline due to its reputation as a popular tourist destination, Destin is located in Okaloosa County in Northwest Florida. Once a sleeping fishing village, today over 12,000 residents call this idealic community home, with several million tourists visiting each year to bump its population up to 40,000 during the busy summer months.
Why is Destin so popular? Its beaches are simply one of a kind. The emerald green water and the pure white sand make this a “must see” for anyone who enjoys a welcoming, tropical environment. Destin is also referred to as “the world’s luckiest fishing village,” as anglers may fish offshore, inshore, and on the banks of the Gulf.
Residential properties are available, but can go quickly in the sought after neighborhoods. High-end real estate includes a variety of architectural styles; many Gulf front homes sell for several million dollars. More affordable homes and condos can be found in the mid-300 range on up.
