Escambia County approved over new 4,000 homes in 2024. Here's where.

Over 4,000 new homes are on the way to Escambia County after being approved by the county’s Development Review Committee (DRC) this year.

All kinds of residences are planned across the county, ranging from single-family homes to multifamily apartment complexes.

Affordable housing is a hot topic throughout the nation, and while the cost of most of the new homes in Escambia County will likely be set by the market rate, experts say simply having a larger inventory of homes will benefits homeowners with more choice and more opportunities.

The DRC meets nearly every week throughout the year in order to review project proposals submitted by developers.

Each of these projects below were approved by the DRC in final reviews throughout 2024. Some of the projects have been in the works for years, while others are just getting their feet off the ground.

Here’s a month-by-month look at this year’s list of approved residential development projects for Escambia County.
