El Matador Condos for Sale

About El Matador

El Matador is recorded as 316 separate condominium parcels under one name. Every one carries 1971 as its year built and every one is addressed to 909 Santa Rosa Boulevard on Okaloosa Island. The parcel numbers fall into six series, one for each hundred of unit numbers: 60 homes in each of the first five and 16 in the sixth. The land is on the stretch of Santa Rosa Island that Okaloosa County calls Okaloosa Island, and the Census Bureau's 2026 boundary file puts it outside the city of Fort Walton Beach, so the county is the local government to ask. The one shared outline drawn for all 316 parcels covers about 11 acres, and at that scale El Matador compares best with other large island buildings listed in the Fort Walton Beach condominium directory.

The recorded interior sizes number only five. A total of 180 homes are 1,035 square feet, 60 are 1,113, 36 are 814 and 24 are 935. The 16 homes in the 600s are all 480 square feet, less than half the building's most common size. Those sizes come from the county roll and describe plans rather than any one measured residence. With so few plans repeated across 316 homes, closings on the El Matador market analytics can be matched plan to plan, and the small homes in the 600s make a group of their own.

FEMA's current flood map does not give this land a single answer. Sample points inside the outline fall in the coastal VE zone along the southern edge, then an AO zone, then AE and shaded X zones toward the north. VE, AO and AE are mapped special flood hazard areas, and the shaded X zone is FEMA's 0.2 percent annual chance band. The zone for a given home depends on where the building stands, so the map at the address and the elevation certificate settle it.

Age matters as well. A 1971 roll date puts El Matador among the buildings that crossed 30 years before July 1, 2022. For that group, section 553.899 of the Florida Statutes gave condominium buildings of three habitable stories or more until the end of 2024 for a first structural milestone inspection, then a new one every ten years, with the clock set by first approval for use. Unit numbers that climb into the 600s suggest the law reaches this building. The association holds the inspection report, the repairs it called for and the record of how those repairs were paid for.
