Forest Lakes is a Tranquil, Gated Haven Along Scenic 30A...and NOTHING compares to it. It truly is where the beach meets the forest.
Tucked within one of 30A's most exclusive gated enclaves, Forest Lakes offers a rare blend of coastal sophistication and natural serenity. This thoughtfully designed community is perfectly positioned beside a peaceful lake and surrounded by thousands of acres of pristine state forest, creating an atmosphere of secluded luxury just moments from the heart of South Santa Rosa Beach.
Despite its tranquil setting, Forest Lakes is ideally located for those who crave both relaxation and connection. The sugar-white sands and emerald waters of the Gulf are just minutes away, with Gulfview Heights Public Beach Access conveniently close. Just steps to the west lies the vibrant Gulf Place Town Center, filled with upscale dining, boutique shopping, and live entertainment, while the charming beach town of Blue Mountain Beach sits just to the east.
At the heart of Forest Lakes is a lifestyle curated for leisure and connection. Residents enjoy a beautifully renovated two-tiered resort-style pool featuring a summer kitchen, cozy fireplace, and ample space for lounging in the Florida sun. Scenic walking trails weave through the neighborhood, while a lush central green space and stocked catch-and-release lake provide the perfect backdrop for peaceful mornings and golden-hour gatherings.
A covered pavilion with grilling stations sets the scene for alfresco dining and family barbecues, and a shaded playground invites the younger residents to explore and play. Additional amenities include a basketball court and direct access to the surrounding state forest for those seeking adventure in nature.
