Nestled along the Choctawhatchee Bay in Florida's Walton County, Freeport combines coastal charm with a fascinating history dating back to 1830. The city earned its name from the original "free port" where no fees were charged at the junction of Four Mile Creek and Lafayette Creek. Located along U.S. Route 331 and Florida State Road 20, Freeport puts residents just 11 miles from the white sand beaches of Santa Rosa Beach while maintaining its own distinct character.
The Freeport rental market continues to evolve as the city grows, with the population increasing from 1,787 in 2010 to 5,861 by 2020. Areas like Hammock Bay showcase the city's development, while the surrounding natural landscape provides opportunities for outdoor recreation throughout Walton County. With average one-bedroom apartment rents around $1,585, Freeport presents a more budget-friendly alternative to other Florida coastal communities while offering convenient access to shopping, dining, and Gulf Coast attractions.
