Welcome to The Cove

A quaint and quiet neighborhood with fantastic waterfront views and lovely oak-lined streets. Discover real estate in The Cove, Panama City! 
 
The Cove is a quaint and historic neighborhood in Panama City founded in 1887. The Cove was once called “Little New York” because it was home to so many northern transplants drawn to the area. Its proximity to the St. Andrews Bay Yacht Club made it an attractive neighborhood for wealthy transplants who arrived on their yachts and stayed in hotels along Harrison Avenue or in the historic homes they built on narrow lots. The Cove is the original town center, located by the water and dotted with colonial-style buildings and a tiny park.
 
The Cove is older than most other neighborhoods in Panama City, and it has an old-fashioned, small-town feel with sidewalks and streets lined with 100-year-old oaks. The homes are primarily small, wood-frame bungalows built in the 1950s and 1960s. The Cove is an area of Panama City that’s been gentrified — Historic homes have been restored, and some new ones have been constructed to keep the original styles.
 
The community and Cove Panama City real estate market are quiet and family-focused. It's a laid-back area in contrast to the busyness of downtown. It's also walkable and golf cart friendly. Located on St. Andrews Bay, The Cove has a park and walking paths along the water. The walking paths and parks in the community are frequented by families and neighbors walking their dogs, riding around on their golf carts or out enjoying the fabulous Gulf Coast weather.
