Apalachicola Florida Real Estate
Voted Best Friendliest Small Town 2009 by Florida Monthly Magazine
Apalachicola or "Apalach", as it is known by locals, is situated on the Apalachicola River and Bay. Established in 1831, it was once the third largest port on the Gulf of Mexico. This basin encompasses what is considered one of the least polluted, most undeveloped, ecologically diverse systems left in the United States. Home to over 900 Historic homes, Apalachicola was also selected as one of the nation's Dozen Distinctive Destinations in 2008 by the National Trust for Historic Preservation.
