Seaside, Florida

Seaside is a planned community where each residence displays architectural variety, but tastefully done to reflect traditional Florida and southern styles. The ‘Seaside Style’ has become an architectural term for simple, natural and timeless. The Seaside Institute provides the information and tools to drive and inspire the successful communities of the future. This small town is an experiment in New Urbanism and Smart Growth. Seaside is a community of cottages with picket fences, elevated porches, and brick-laid side streets. The small town center was inspired by the squares found in cities like Charleston, SC, Savannah, GA, and Florence, Italy. Travel & Leisure magazine named Seaside in its 100 Greatest Trips issue in 2009. The Seaside Repertory Theatre is Northwest Florida’s premier professional theatre company and has been in production since 2001. Pedestrians come first in this small town.
