Located in the Florida Panhandle at 236 feet above sea level—making it one of Florida's highest points—Crestview combines small-town appeal with steady growth. As Okaloosa County's largest city and county seat, Crestview has grown from 20,978 residents in 2010 to over 27,000 today. Situated just six miles north of Eglin Air Force Base and home to the 7th Special Forces Group facility, this historic railroad town provides easy access to Gulf Coast beaches and sits near the Alabama border.
Crestview's rental market remains competitive, with one-bedroom apartments averaging $1,384 monthly—below Florida's state average of $1,691. The city's position along Interstate 10 and State Road 85 makes commuting convenient to military installations and coastal communities like Destin and Fort Walton Beach. The area showcases a different side of Florida, with mild seasonal changes that bring colorful fall leaves and spring flowers. While embracing growth, Crestview maintains strong ties to its railroad and timber industry heritage, creating an authentic community atmosphere.
