A recovering suburb of Panama City
The city of Springfield was heavily affected in 2018 by Category 5 Hurricane Michael, which left homes and even the city hall destroyed. However, with help from the federal government, the city has been making strides in bringing back its parks and repairing damaged civic buildings. Dennis Nelson, a realtor with Keller Williams Success Realty, says the city’s central location between Callaway and Panama City helps make the area appealing. “It’s a good time to invest in the area,” he says.
The damage caused by Huricane Michael in 2018 can still be seen in and around Springfield.
Huricane Michael hit the Gulf Coast in 2018, causing millions of dollars in damage to building in Springfield.

Single-family homes and removed blight
The median price for homes in Springfield is $228,000, less than Panama City’s median, as well as the rest of Florida. Homes in the area are mainly single-family and include ranch-style, A-frames and bungalows. Plots of land are also for sale throughout Springfield. “The home values are very much affordable compared to the rest of the city,” Nelson says. Nelson says that many of the homes in Springfield were built in the 1950s and '60s, but new homes have been coming into the area. Nelson also noted that while Hurricane Michael devastated the region, houses were fixed and blighted areas were removed, leading to increased housing values in Springfield.
Renovated homes are affordable and available throughout Springfield neighborhoods.
New homes are being built throughout Springfield.

Heavy industry and Tyndall Air Force Base
Heavy industry is located on Springfield’s southern edge, which includes a chemical factory belonging to the Kraton Corporation. While a large paper mill also shuttered its doors in 2022, Nelson does warn that the south side is susceptible to smells from industry. Springfield is also 7 miles north of Tyndall Air Force Base, the area’s largest employer. In 2024, the city broke ground on a new city hall, police and fire station after suffering hurricane damage. The closest hospital to the city is Ascension Sacred Heart Bay, but smaller clinics are dotted throughout the area.
The Kraton Corporation is one of the top employers in the Springfield area.

Revitalized parks and nearby attractions
The city has received funds from FEMA and the National Park Services to revive its parks after Hurricane Michael and new parks are being planned. Buddy McLemore Park features a football field and playground, while Springfield Garden Walking Park has an outdoor fitness court and walking trails. Springfield is also 13 miles east of the beach attractions in Panama City.

Dining and shopping on Tyndall Parkway
The bulk of Springfield’s dining and shopping options are concentrated on North Tyndall Parkway, which includes chain and local restaurants. Gary’s Oyster Shack serves seafood dishes and po’boy sandwiches. The Sea Breeze Restaurant is a barbecue joint that has ribs, chicken and sweet potato pie. Grocery store options on North Tyndall Parkway include Winn-Dixie, Walmart and Aldi.
Aldi is a low cost option for groceries and other items in Springfield.

Weather warnings and access to Panama City
Hurricanes and severe weather continue to be a factor, but the cities along the Gulf Coast have an emergency notification system called Alertbay to provide residents with warnings and other critical information. The Bayway bus system’s number 3 and 4 services have multiple stops in and near Springfield, connecting to Panama City and other nearby cities. The closest airport is Northwest Beaches International, 26 miles to the north. Route 98 connects Springfield to Panama City, Tyndall Air Force Base and other locations on the Gulf Coast.
