In Rosemary Beach, Florida, everything is a 5-minute walk away—secret lanes and boardwalks lead to the town square or to the beach. Life is easy, as if the town flows with the contours of the land.
But there is a reason Rosemary Beach has such a flow to it: it was planned that way by renowned architects Andres Duany and Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk.
Covering an area of 107 acres, Rosemary Beach is a walkable, mixed-use development with its own town hall and post office; the town features 16 parks and playgrounds and four community pools. All of this holds a certain allure to residents and visitors. Even during the economic downturn, people are paying high dollar to be a part of the community.
Kevin Neel is a full-time resident, who lives and works in Rosemary Beach with his three children and wife, Kim. He owns La Crema, a tapas and chocolate bar off the main street.
Neel says, “Values have flattened, but we know it’s a special place and it’s very sought after. We’ve been here three years and we love it. Small town USA with all the European charm.”
A coastal resort town, located on the Florida Panhandle, Rosemary Beach holds special appeal to its full-time and part-time residents, and also to vacationers.
