Why Live in Fort Walton Beach

Fort Walton Beach, situated along Choctawhatchee Bay, is a military community known for its old Florida charm and small-town feel. The area is characterized by its lack of high-rise condos and abundance of mom-and-pop shops, miniature golf, and older restaurants. Tourism thrives here, especially during summer when visitors flock to Okaloosa Island's beaches and Downtown Fort Walton Beach's local shops and dining options. The city is home to the United States Air Force's Hurlburt Field and Eglin Air Force Base, making it a significant employment hub. Residents enjoy easy access to waterfront parks, with 81% living within a 10-minute walk of one of the city's 35 urban parks. Liza Jackson Park and Fort Walton Beach Landing Park offer waterfront amenities, including fishing piers and boat ramps. The Heritage Park and Cultural Center in Downtown Fort Walton Beach showcases historic sites and museums, featuring the Indian Temple Mound and hosting events like the Musical Echoes Native American Flute Festival. Housing options range from ranch-style homes built between the 1970s and '90s to waterfront condos and townhomes. The Okaloosa County School District, part of the Purple Star Program, supports military families with specialized programs. While Highway 98 can be busy, residents have access to public transportation and nearby airports. Despite the risk of hurricanes, the community is well-prepared for such events. Crime rates vary, with property crime below the national average, offering a practical perspective for potential home buyers.
