Stretching from Santa Rosa beach all the way to Panama City scenic Route 30A on Florida’s charming Gulf Coast is a pleasingly picturesque corridor of white sandy beaches, emerald green water and vivid tropical settings. Long a refuge for vacationers looking for idyllic and quiet beach and fishing resort communities the 30A strip is now becoming a hot real estate market with 30A homes, condos, vacation rentals and property lots grabbing the attention of savvy real estate investors.
What makes 30A such an appealing real estate location is the fact it has been preserved for decades as a quiet resort area and even with the rush of recent developments still maintains a calming charm that differentiates 30A towns from other Florida destination cities that are too hectic to relax in. Towns such as Destin, Miramar Beach and South Walton have all the benefits of a thriving community without overcrowding and traffic. The 30A stretch offers wonderful planned communities as well as off-the-beaten-path locales that are private and secluded. Homes in the 30A region range from single units to luxury town homes that can be bought or rented for the season.
While Miami and Daytona continue to attract a college crowd the Destin area is known for being a family and couples retreat with scenic views and entertainment for kids and adults alike. Once a quiet fishing resort Destin has carefully grown to accommodate the increase in visitors while not upsetting the balance of nature and progress. The gorgeous stretch of Route 30A provides pastoral views of the majestic Gulf, sand dunes, palm trees and the alluring homes and condos that line the pristine beaches.
Owning or renting in the 30A area is a great investment as the region continues to grow in popularity and value. Detached single family homes are in demand and there are currently plenty of listings for multiple bedroom houses in planned communities and in secluded private locations, some with waterfront views and access.
