Home Builder in Perdido Key, FL
Perdido Key is a barrier island at the far edge of our service area, and we take on the right coastal project there for buyers who already own land.
Perdido Key is a barrier island community in Escambia County that stretches about 16 miles between Pensacola and the Alabama state line, about 50 minutes from Pace. It's home to Perdido Key State Park and the Big Lagoon State Recreation Area, and it's the furthest reach of our service area today. We take on projects there for buyers who already own coastal land and understand the tradeoffs that come with building on a barrier island.

Building on Perdido Key
Perdido Key sits on a barrier island in far western Escambia County, close to the Alabama line and the open Gulf of Mexico. The island is home to Perdido Key State Park and, just inland, the Big Lagoon State Recreation Area. At about 50 minutes from Pace, it's the outer edge of where we take on projects, and coastal construction there comes with its own set of flood and wind requirements well beyond what an inland Pace lot needs. We take on island projects selectively, and only after walking through the added scope with the buyer directly.
Lots and land
We don't hold lots on Perdido Key. Building on the island typically means working with barrier-island flood elevation and wind engineering requirements that go beyond what an inland Pace lot needs, which adds both time and cost to the process. If you own land there, contact Scott for a direct, honest conversation about scope and cost before committing to anything.
Why buyers pick Perdido Key
Perdido Key appeals to buyers who want direct Gulf access on a genuine barrier island, a different setting entirely from our inland Pace homes, with two state parks anchoring the island's public beach and lagoon access. It comes with added engineering for flood and wind exposure that inland construction doesn't require, and we'll be clear about that difference and its cost impact upfront. If direct beach access is the priority, it's worth having that conversation with us early, before you're far along on a specific lot.
