A small community near Panama City Beach and the Tyndall Air Force Base
Callaway, a city of over 13,000 just outside Panama City, is quickly growing. "It's had a lot of growth since Hurricane Michael, and there's a lot of new houses and restaurants," says local Realtor Christina Daniels of Keller Williams Success Realty. She's sold homes across the region for over 15 years. "The new construction has been especially popular with people in the military." Callaway is one of the closest communities to Tyndall Air Force Base, about 5 miles from the city, making it particularly attractive to relocating military members and their families. Tyndall AFB is Callaway's largest employer, but tourism is Bay County's largest industry, generating billions of dollars and creating thousands of jobs. Callaway is close to popular beaches and Panama City's growing downtown.
Panama City Beaches are a short drive away from Callaway.
The Tyndall Air Force Base is close to Callaway and is one of the leading employers in the Callaway area.

The city's location near the coast puts it at risk of hurricanes
Due to its location along the East Bay and near the Gulf Coast, Callaway is at risk of tropical weather. According to the FEMA National Risk Index, Bay County has a high risk index for hurricanes. Many properties are in Special Flood Hazard Areas, and flood insurance is recommended. "In Bay County, you can have one house in a flood zone, but its neighbor could not be," Daniels says.
