Mexico Beach was already a quaint little beach town but when Hurricane Michael hit it pretty much destroyed it. It's a beautiful beach and you can actually enjoy it without the crowds. I've always thought, if I ever win the lottery 🤑 I would love to have a place there.
I can't imagine the homeowners insurance premiums on some of those high dollar re-builds... We are headed towards The Forgotten Coast next week to check out the area (hoping to find an area that we love for a winter RV base). The white sand is amazing (we were at Topsail Hill Preserve & Pensacola in the spring) and Mexico Beach looks awesome (not one we are looking at - we will be looking more Port Saint Joe). Oh - we are from Southern California too! Thanks for some great info!
I am a full time resident of Mexico Beach and enjoyed your video. 250k home? Hmm, I doubt it, but, already approved by the city is about 500 new homes in a development on the west (Tyndall Air Force Base) side of town and that construction is well underway. The city has implemented serious height restriction on buildings so you will never have the 'Las Vegas' look of Panama City Beach where you can't see the beach at all. We have several miles of city owned beach front that will 'never' be developed so you will always be able to drive down the beach and have an unobstructed view. It is a great place to live, but services are severely limited and lots of construction, but it goes along with the rebuild. I do videos of Mexico Beach without a whole lot of purpose, but as a resident it is interesting for people to see how it is in winter and other various times. Thanks...
I did find a few homes in that price range on the MLS that probably needed some repair, but nonetheless it is a wonderful place with homes that will fit multiple budgets.
The ocean there is full of hammerheads, I'm okay with nurse, black tips, bonnetheads but hammerheads and bull sharks are a different story. All those women wearing shiny ankle bracelets...it's only a matter of time.
