Sound Side Apartments Market Supply and Demand Analysis
Heather Glenn is a 168 -unit, tax -credit apartment community oriented to persons earning 60% AMI or
less. Built in 2004, the property is in good overall condition. At the time of survey, 95% of units were
occupied. The property is offering reduced rents on two, three, and four bedroom units.
Colony House is a market rate property whose rents are calibrated to compete with the income -restricted
market. Occupancy was reported at 94 %, which is historically high. Management attributes this to an
increase in military rentals as part of the Army EOD training at Eglin AFB. Currently, the property is
offering a $ 299 move -in- special on all two bedroom /one bath units.
Falcon House was built in 1989 and offers 82 units. The property is considered market rate, but rents are
calibrated to compete with the income restricted market. Occupancy is at 97 %, which is above typically
operating levels. Management believes that current occupancy levels reflect the rent concessions offered.
Jaymar was built in 1987 and offers 66 units. The property is considered market rate, but rents are
calibrated to compete with the income restricted market. At the time of survey, the property was 82%
occupied. Management indicated that occupancy is at historic lows and attributes this to the economy.
Golf Links was built in 1972 and offers 97 units. The property is considered market rate, but rents are
calibrated to compete with the income restricted market. The property is 70% occupied, which is up from
52% in October 2009 when management was replaced. At this time, the property is not scheduling any
renovations or remodeling.
Holly Sands was built in 1986 and offers 122 units. The property is considered market rate, but rents are
calibrated to compete with the income restricted market. The property was 90% occupied at the time of
survey. Management attributes affordable rents and good marketing strategies to the property' s success.
Rent specials are currently offered only on the studio units and the one bedroom units.
Royale Apartments was built in 1974 and offers 99 units. The property is considered market rate, but
rents are calibrated to compete with the income restricted market. Occupancy is considered low at 84 %,
with management citing March through October as stable months. In addition, deployment patterns of
Eglin AFB have contributed to lower occupancy levels, as the property tenant mix primarily consists of
military service personnel. Currently, the property is offering free rent in January.
Captain' s Quarters was built in 1970 and offers 80 units. The property is considered market rate, but
rents are calibrated to compete with the income restricted market. The property is 88% occupied. This is
down by about 6% from levels achieved in October.
Proposed Additions to Supply
Discussions with planning and development officials in Fort Walton Beach have revealed that no rent/
income -restricted or market -rate multifamily properties are planned or under construction in the defined
market area.
