Crestview, Florida is a small, but quickly growing city in Okaloosa County, Florida. It is growing for a reason; it is a nice, affordable, and safe place to live.
Crestview is a town with almost 30,000 people in it, up from about 20,000 in 2010. The area has a relatively low cost of living compared to big cities, it has a nice community, and is relatively safe to live in. It is home to picturesque parks such as Twin Hills Park, as well as great food and cool
stores to visit.
The area is liked by residents and comes recommended as a great place to live if you still want to be within a reasonable distance from the gorgeous Emerald Coast and Gulf of Mexico and nearby lakes and springs without having to deal with the tourist culture and economy that exists on most of these beachfront cities.
As stated before, Crestview has a somewhat tight-knit community but is open to newcomers as well. After all, it’s growing too quickly to reject them. All this means that you will be able to find a foothold in your local community quickly by attending things you like to do — whether it be a church, your child’s sports practices, or some of the recreational places on this list.
Crestview has plenty of nice parks to go to. If you’re someone that likes to take your kids on picnics (or would if you lived somewhere with better weather), then you should have no problem doing so in Crestview. Here, there are several parks complete with playgrounds and their own water sections for kids to play in the water.
The real estate market in Crestview, Florida, is doing well right now and likely will be for quite some time. The median home in Crestview sells for just $270K. That’s a pretty good price when compared to the national average of $450K. Despite this, Crestview’s property values have been steadily increasing. They are up 18.1%, and more importantly, have been rising for years. People that bought a property in Crestview several years ago made out very well.
Crestview has two zip codes: 32536 and 32539.
If you’re considering moving to a smaller town or one more secluded from tourists, Crestview is a great choice. The area is in a good commuting location whilst also being out of the way enough for most tourists not to visit. This means the people that you see in your community, you’ll probably see regularly. Additionally, it is still close enough to local beaches and attractions to make your weekend day trips neverending.
