Driftwood Estates

Driftwood Estates is a large residential community in Santa Rosa Beach on the north side of Highway 98, built out in phases and home to a substantial year-round population as well as second-home owners.

Homes are predominantly single-family residences on standard suburban lots, with a range of sizes and ages across the phases and a community pool among the shared amenities. Compared with the beach neighborhoods a few miles south, Driftwood offers considerably more house and yard for the money.

The trade-off is a short drive rather than a walk to the Gulf, which many buyers find entirely reasonable given the difference in price. The location works well for families — close to schools, shopping and the 98 corridor — while keeping both 30A and Sandestin within about ten to fifteen minutes.
