Just 2.5 years ago I thought "Who would pay that much money to live across the street from the beach"

Same here.

Tricky them. How'd they get their own zip code?

Anyone can have the Rosemary Beach zip code. All you have to do is rent a post office box at the Rosemary Beach post office. The zip code is specifically for the post office--Rosemary has no mail delivery to homes.

When we moved here, nobody wanted to live here. My wife grew up in Destin, and it was a real attitudinal adjustment for her

Anyway, times they are a changin'!

When we were looking for a place, I could have bought a 2 bedroom flat at Rosemary Beach for about $420 I believe (the realtor was encouraging us to do that). That was March 03. We bought something else instead that we like even more (and cost much less) because we like a small community. But we love having Rosemary Beach just 1.5 miles away. One of these days I'll even take a walk there and look around! I'm glad for Rosemary Beach and glad we found a place that best suits us, too!
