Located in the Florida Panhandle, this small sunny community abuts Destin and is situated between Pensacola and Panama Beach City. It attracts renter households as diverse as military families posted in one of the surrounding bases, retirees, and young professionals. Fort Walton Beach benefits from its pristine environment of preserved white sandy beaches and crystal blue waters that bring tourists and spring breakers in strove. Fort Walton Beach is decidedly Southern, with a welcoming community. Renters will also appreciate the well-rated school and the crime level below the national average. However, as is common in the Florida Panhandle, it is best to check that your apartment for rent is not in a floodable area and keep an eye on evacuation instructions during hurricane season.

    Things for renting

    Shopping in Fort Walton Beach, FL

    Renters who enjoy a good shopping spree may be disappointed in Fort Walton Beach: It is a coastal city turned towards the beach more than a “shop ‘til you drop” destination. Shopping options are limited in town, although nearby Destin offers many options less than 30 minutes away. However, you will have no issues finding the essentials within easy driving distance of your rental apartment. Grocery stores abound, with several Publix and Winn-Dixie locations. In addition, renters looking for more exotic fares will appreciate the presence of several Asian and Mexican grocery stores. Fort Walton Beach is also home to two shopping malls, where renters can find a variety of national and local retailers and dining options: Uptown Station and Sun Plaza. Finally, local renters who love to shop should also check out the boutiques and a weekly farmer’s market in Downtown Fort Walton Beach.

    Transportation in Fort Walton Beach, FL

    Renters who prefer leaving their cars safely parked in their rental apartments will appreciate that Fort Walton Beach offers several walkable neighborhoods, particularly Beal Parkway, Elliott's Point, and Garniers Beach. However, people renting in Fort Walton Beach will still need a car to run most errands. In addition, the OCT (Okaloosa County Transit) bus services provide five transit routes servicing popular shopping destinations such as uptown station, midtown and downtown Fort Walton Beach, as well as stops at educational institutions and medical centers. Traffic can be a concern in Fort Walton Beach, particularly during high season around the beach area and during rush hours between Fort Walton Beach and Destin.
