Forest Manor Homes for Sale

Living in Forest Manor

Forest Manor was recorded in four pieces, and the county parcel record still files it that way. The original plat holds 19 homes, the first addition 15, the second addition 12 and the third addition nine, each under its own block of parcel numbers, and all 55 are classed SINGLE FAMILY. Even the original plat is spelled two ways in the legal field, FOREST MANOR on 14 parcels and FOREST MANOR S/D on five, so a records search typed one way returns only part of the neighborhood.

County build years run from 1972 to 1984 and follow the plats only loosely. Fifteen of the 19 original homes are dated 1973, the first addition runs 1975 to 1978, and every third-addition home carries 1978 or earlier, while nine of the second addition's 12 are dated 1979 or later. The streets sort by plat as well: all six Cinderella Court homes are in the original plat, all 12 Manor Court homes, numbered 600 to 611, form the second addition, and the 37 on Cinderella Lane come from the original, first and third.

Every parcel lies inside Fort Walton Beach city limits, and on 12 of them the city line itself forms part of the outer edge, with unincorporated county ground directly beyond. Within the city, the zoning map divides Forest Manor along its plats. The original plat and first addition are R-1, labeled Single Family Residential, under a Low Density Residential land-use designation; the second and third additions are R-2, labeled Multi-Family Residential, under Medium Density Residential. Each parcel falls within a single district, and the city's layer ties both to Ordinance 1861 of 2012, listing R-1A as the earlier code on the R-1 ground.

The county address file writes every street with a trailing NW, as in Cinderella Ln NW and Manor Ct NW, but the state tax roll leaves the NW off 23 of the 55 parcels, all of Manor Court among them, and prints it ahead of the street name on most of the rest. On the national flood map each parcel lies wholly inside a Zone X area of minimal flood hazard, which is a map designation rather than an elevation finding for any one house.
