We have a great climate…
You get to experience many months of perfect Florida beach weather in Panama City, but you also get seasonal changes which are a welcome relief in the Fall!
We have great people…
Bay County has a nice mix of new residents from around the country and old residents with deep roots in this small southern coastal town. You will find so many things to do here: golf, fishing, live entertainment, shopping and a wonderful array of dining options. All served with southern charm and hospitality you cannot find in many Florida communities!
And a great cost of living!
Our cost of living index is 85, 15 points lower than the national average, and up to 30 points lower than communities in south Florida. Lower cost per square foot + lower property taxes + lower cost of living + great location = Best Place for Young Retirees!
