We live in Navarre Beach It is between Pensacola and Ft. Walton Beach. It takes me 30 minutes to get to Destin.
Living in Navarre is like being on vacation year-round. When much of the country is experiencing cold and snowy weather, the water here is a beautiful emerald green, the beach is warm, and the sand is white. Seeing a glorious sunset over the Gulf, watching a heron wade through the marsh grass, feeling the water lap at your feet while you walk along the beach, feeding the ducks and seagulls at Navarre Park, enjoying the dolphins as they play in the water...not a week goes by that you can't experience one or all of these treasures!
Our residents enjoy the best that Northwest Florida has to offer. Navarre offers both new and existing homes in a variety of neighborhoods — gated communities, wooded areas, on the beach, sound side, bay side, or within any number of new and established subdivisions. Prices of homes fit virtually every budget, from below $100,000 to Gulf-front properties at $1.5 million. Whether your taste is cottage or contemporary, condos or single-family homes, Navarre has an affordable home for you.
Builders in the community range from locally owned custom builders, to nationally known community developers. With more than 40 builders and 150 realtors who know and serve the Navarre Beach Area, relocating is easy.
