Hurlburt Field Relocation & Military Housing
Moving to Hurlburt Field? Get local guidance on Navarre housing, long-term rentals, home buying and the communities surrounding Florida’s Emerald Coast.
Your PCS Is About More Than Finding a Place to Live
A move to Hurlburt Field can happen quickly. Military families often have to make housing decisions while balancing orders, reporting dates, temporary housing, family needs and an unfamiliar market.
The right housing decision starts with understanding the area. Navarre gives military families a coastal community with access to Hurlburt Field while also providing proximity to beaches, shopping, restaurants, schools and everyday services.
Navarre Beach Realty helps military families evaluate the options before making a decision that could affect their entire assignment.
Choose the Housing Strategy That Fits Your Orders
There is no single housing solution for every military family. Your assignment length, family situation, budget and plans for the future should all be considered before choosing where to live.
Rent a Home
Renting can provide flexibility while you learn the area, understand your commute and decide whether buying makes sense for your situation.
Buy a Home
If homeownership fits your assignment and financial plans, Navarre offers residential opportunities ranging from established neighborhoods to coastal properties.
Plan for Your Next PCS
If another military move is possible, consider whether the property could eventually become a long-term rental before purchasing.
Coastal Living With Access to the Military Community
Navarre is positioned between Pensacola and Fort Walton Beach, giving military families access to several communities and employment centers throughout the region.
The best neighborhood depends on more than distance. Commute patterns, property type, price range, schools, shopping and your long-term plans all deserve consideration.
- Access to Navarre Beach and the Gulf Coast
- Long-term rental homes and residential neighborhoods
- Multiple housing types and price points
- Access to the broader Emerald Coast
- Strong military presence throughout the region
Start With Your Timeline
One of the biggest PCS housing decisions is whether to rent first or purchase immediately. Your circumstances should drive the answer.
Get to Know Navarre Before Buying
A long-term rental can give your family time to experience Navarre, understand your commute and determine which neighborhoods actually fit your lifestyle.

Understanding Where Hurlburt Field Fits Into the Emerald Coast
Hurlburt Field is part of a larger military and coastal community stretching across Northwest Florida.
For relocating families, that means your housing decision can involve more than simply choosing the closest available property. Your preferred lifestyle, commute, family needs and future plans all matter.
Navarre can provide a different pace from larger nearby communities while keeping residents connected to the broader Emerald Coast.

Military homeowners sometimes discover that the property they purchased can become a long-term investment when their next assignment takes them elsewhere.
Before purchasing, consider whether the home would make sense as a future rental. Location, property condition, monthly expenses, neighborhood and rental demand can all influence that decision.
Buying with a possible future rental strategy in mind can give military homeowners another option when orders eventually change.
If You Keep the Property, We Can Help Manage It
A home purchased during a military assignment does not necessarily have to be sold when orders send you somewhere else.
Navarre Beach Realty provides long-term rental property management for owners who decide to keep their Navarre property as an investment.
Our current management structure is simple: $100 one-time setup and 10% monthly management.
