Living in Bayou Woods
The Bayou Woods listing search, saved within Fort Walton Beach and run on September 24, 2026, held 96 sold dwellings and four active ones. It is an aged market read, not evidence of title, plat extent or live inventory.
In Section 11 of Township 2S, Range 24, the county subdivision index at Okaloosa keeps a separate parcel series for BAYOU WOODS and for each of its five additions, the 1st through the 5th. The original plat holds 114 parcels, the 1st addition 57, the 2nd 44, the 3rd 64, the 4th 18 and the 5th nine. The names and series document related records; they do not draw one outer boundary or settle the scope of every similarly named property.
Across the six series the county classes 301 parcels as SINGLE FAMILY, three as MUNICIPAL, one as VACANT and one as FOREST,PRKS,REC-MUNI. The roll lists the City of Fort Walton Beach as owner of the three municipal parcels and the recreation parcel, so those four are not residences. Recorded build years run from 1959 to 1988 on 298 parcels, with three in 2016, 2017 and 2023 and five blank, the blanks being the non-dwelling parcels. The parcels total about 84 acres.
The address table has 307 features over 304 parcel numbers, all labeled Fort Walton Beach, Florida 32548; a parcel can carry more than one address feature, so the two totals cannot be exchanged. Street labels include Briarwood Circle, Bayou Woods Court and Drive, Chateaugay Street, Live Oak Lane, Memorial Parkway and Theresa Court. Testing one point inside each of the 306 parcels against the county's city-limits layer gives the same answer every time: Fort Walton Beach.
Tested against the county's flood map, 269 of the 306 parcel outlines touch only the minimal-hazard part of Zone X, 31 touch Zone AE with a base flood elevation of 10 feet, and 17 touch the shaded 0.2 percent annual chance area; some touch more than one. Using one interior point per parcel instead, 294 land in minimal hazard and six apiece in Zone AE and the shaded area. A lot-by-lot lookup is therefore needed, and the county records leave association duties, amenities, access and ownership unanswered.

If any touch of the outline counts, 269 parcels sit in minimal-hazard Zone X alone, 31 reach Zone AE at 10 feet, and 17 reach the shaded 0.2 percent annual chance area. Tested at a point inside each parcel the split is 294, six and six. Read the result for the lot's own address.
What does the four active, 96 sold count cover?
Dwellings only, searched by name inside Fort Walton Beach on September 24, 2026: that is the whole basis of the figure. It is not a parcel count or an availability promise, so reload the listings before comparing.
