Crestview is a small Northwestern Florida city serving the Eglin Air Force Base immediately to the south. The Gulf Coast is just minutes away by car, and there are many fantastic beaches like the Fort Walton Beach and Seagrove Beach nearby. The closest major city is Tallahassee, which is about 90 miles away.

The city's 15,000 people mainly find work providing services to the thousands of Air Force personnel stationed in the Eglin AFB.

Notable natural attractions include the nearby Conecuh National Forest that extends into southern Alabama. To the south, numerous Gulf Coast towns and beaches offer the perfect weekend getaway throughout the year. Weather here is not as humid as southern Florida but still quite hot even in the winter.

Crestview has its own hospital, but the closest international airport is 75 miles away in Panama City. There are no colleges located in the city proper, so those looking for education will have to travel to nearby Pensacola or Panama City for higher education.

If you've been looking for a place with a stable local economy, great accessibility to natural attractions, and low crime rates thanks to the presence of the Air Force, Crestview is a great place to be in Northwestern Florida.
