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 11 miles southwest of Rivers Cove.

The Rivers Cove buying strategy.
If we were buying in Rivers Cove 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.
Come strong and clean. Homes here move, so lead with your best terms and financing ready rather than a low anchor.
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 Rivers Cove.
A closer look at the Rivers Cove market
At a median of $174 per square foot, Rivers Cove prices sit in a fairly defined band, so condition and updates — more than the list price — tend to separate one home from the next.
Inventory runs at 2.6 months of supply, a seller-leaning market and the trailing-12-month median up 15% year over year. Homes that do trade take a median 70 days on market, useful leverage on any listing that has lingered.
The housing stock is 185 homes built between 2022 and 2024, and 36% of parcels are homesteaded — the owner-occupancy proxy in the Florida DOR assessment roll.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Rivers Cove. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
