Community comparison
Rosemary Beach vs. Seaside
Rosemary Beach and Seaside are 30A's two most-referenced new urbanist towns, and they're often shopped against each other. Seaside is the original — founded in 1981, pastel cottage palette, the town that put 30A on the map — and its condominium inventory is small, tightly held, and overwhelmingly resale. Rosemary Beach came later (1995), with a darker, more European palette, denser town center, and a larger pool of condo buildings sitting above retail. The table below contrasts catalog depth, year-built range, and price-band coverage between the two.
