Escambia Planning Board to hear rezoning for 540-acre Outlying Fields site in Beulah
The Escambia County Planning Board was set to hear rezoning and land-use changes on October 6 for the former Navy Outlying Landing Field 8 next to the Navy Federal Credit Union campus. The roughly 540-acre plan includes 1,000 to 1,500 housing units, 23 acres for health-related facilities along Nine Mile Road, retail and restaurants, and an Employment, Technology and Innovation district. County staff found the changes consistent with the comprehensive plan, and FDOT expects no added trip generation.
What it may mean for the marketThe plan would add housing, commercial space and employer land in the Beulah area near Nine Mile Road, which could change local retail access, commute patterns and housing supply. The site is about 2 miles north of Forest Creek.

The Forest Creek buying strategy.
If we were buying in Forest Creek today, this is the order of operations we would run for our clients.
Underwrite the condition first. Price the roof, HVAC, and systems honestly before judging any list price; condition swings value here more than square footage alone.
Match the home to real comps. Recent sales of similar condition and lot, not the asking price, tell you what a home is worth.
Move deliberately, not desperately. Neither side has a decisive edge, so a well-prepared, fairly-priced offer wins without overpaying.
Line up financing and inspection early. A pre-approval and an inspection plan let you act fast and negotiate from evidence.
Keep an agent in your corner. The listing agent works for the seller; we represent you and prepare a hand-built valuation before any offer in Forest Creek.
