Waterfront properties in a tight-knit Bay County community
Hurricane Michael roared through Lynn Haven in 2018, leveling most of it. But thanks to the work of locals, and a healthy dose of federal aid, this city of 19,000 has been able to build itself back better than ever, with facelifts for existing buildings and parks, roads widen to alleviate traffic and amenities added to improve the quality of life. “You ask anyone, and they’ll say they say it’s the number one place they want to move to,” says Michael Werner, a Realtor with Keller Williams Success Realty. Werner sells primarily in Lynn Haven and has been a resident since 2007. “The housing market is good, there’s a lot of waterfront property, the schools are good. It’s not a big metro area. You get a small, hometown feel but with all the modern amenities you’d expect.”

Ranch-style, New Traditional and custom homes throughout the city
Residential sections are mainly on the city’s north side and offer a mix of suburban and rural living. Gridded streets are lined with single-family homes sitting on grass-filled lots. Architectural styles include ranch homes built between the 1960s and 1980s and New Traditional builds from the 2000s. Streets often lack sidewalks but are spacious enough for an evening walk. Many homes are separated by trees and undeveloped lots, giving residents an extra layer of privacy. Homes near the North Bay and Anderson Bayou are often custom-built, boasting water views and private docks. The median price for single-family homes is around $350,000, slightly higher than nearby Panama City. Townhouses, most built in the 2000s, are also available with a median sale price of about $250,000.
