Gulf County, Florida
Gulf County sits on Florida's Forgotten Coast between Panama City and Apalachicola, anchored by Port St. Joe and the Cape San Blas peninsula. Its market is coastal second homes and short-term rentals, backed by timber and a working port, and post-Hurricane Michael rebuilding still shapes it — coastal construction requirements and insurance cost, not zoning, are usually what decide whether a site pencils.
