Forest Lakes is a community built in the craftsman tradition of classic small Southern towns like Andalusia, Florala, and Eufaula. Places where children can still ride their bicycles in the streets, and life is slower and more meaningful. Places where families can enjoy a day together at the pool, lake or beach, or all three. Located mere blocks from the sugar-white sands of the Gulf of Mexico's Emerald Coast, Forest Lakes is a family beach community accessible from a scenic highway that traces Florida's natural coastline. This community borders a State Forest as well, and homes are being built with a deep respect for native flora. Each home site meticulously preserves as much old growth as possible in Forest Lakes, where parks, lakes, and green & natural spaces are the rule. Centrally located to the best dining, unique boutique shopping, bike paths and some of the most challenging golf courses the gulf coast has to offer. Easy access to Hwy 98, allowing you to explore the nearby cities of Destin or Panama City Beach, as well as, the Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport.
