If proximity to work, the beach, and shopping is a priority to you, your family may love this home. 

Crestview

The city of Crestview is located North of Eglin near I-10. Since it’s further away from the beach, you'll encounter fewer tourists in this area. If you’re coming from an inland duty station, Crestview may provide a little normality for you and your family.
