Scottwood Homes for Sale

Living in Scottwood

Scottwood is a subdivision of 70 townhouse parcels in the southeast quadrant of Fort Walton Beach. The city's subdivision map draws its outline at about 3.6 acres, and the parcels whose interior falls inside that outline are exactly the 70 numbers in parcel series 13-2S-24-2210, no more and no fewer. On the city's parcel record each one is classed as a townhouse parcel carrying a townhome building, and the state tax roll files all 70 under its single-family code rather than its condominium code. Land per parcel runs from about 1,700 to 3,500 square feet.

The record dates the homes to six build years. Lots 13 through 22 carry 1981 and lots 1 through 12 carry 1982; lots 41 through 46 date to 1984; lots 23 through 40 and units 53 through 64 to 1985; lots 47 through 52 to 1986; and units 65 through 70 to 2002. Lots 1 through 46 hold Scottwood Drive SE addresses, while lots 47 through 52 and all 18 units take Alder Avenue SE numbers. Room counts break along the same seams: the six 2002 units are the only parcels recorded with three bedrooms, and the 22 homes from 1981 and 1982 show one and a half baths where every later one shows two.

The legal text here carries details a lot number hides. On 39 of the 46 Scottwood Drive lots the legal text ends with the exception "less Scottwood Dr to city". Lot 7 carries the same words ahead of an added "aka" line, lot 35 carries a shortened form, and lots 36 through 40 show only the strip wording described next. Lots 35 through 40 and 47 through 52 also add or give up strips 1.75 or 3.5 feet wide along the lot next door, and units 59 through 64 are each described as the east 105 feet of the unit. A current survey and the title commitment should match that wording before closing.

All 70 outlines hold an interior point within the city's own boundary layer, so Scottwood lies inside Fort Walton Beach rather than in unincorporated Okaloosa County. FEMA's national flood layer puts only its area of minimal flood hazard on any of the 70 outlines, though a mapped 0.2 percent annual chance band lies roughly 140 feet past the nearest lot line. No recorded covenant was opened for this page, and the state corporate registry turned away automated searches on October 17, 2026, so no association filing could be checked either. Whether Scottwood has an association, what it maintains and what it charges are questions for the seller's disclosures and the title search.
