"Elberta is a wonderful city. The education is amazing. I have 2 daughters. Both the Elementary and Middle School are amazing. Only the thing about Elberta is if you find yourself homeless there is no help. I know I have been homeless for over 5 months. With my children. There are no low income places available."

"Elberta doesn’t have leash laws as long as the dog comes as you call it. It can be challenging for people who might have on edge dogs, otherwise not too bad. Dog park is technically in foley but less than ten minutes away since it is so near our town. Lots of off streets to walk them so you don’t have to go on busy roads."

"This area is great for raising children in a quiet, safe place. This area is beautiful with wonderful wolf bay in walking distance with a boat ramp. My daughter lives here and I could not have chose a better place for my grandaughter to be raised. "

"Like the area for it's decent proximity to the Gulf. Protected slippage in some areas. Deep water. Quiet neighborhood, but a bit far by car to shopping and such. This home was on the market for some time and appears to be a fairly decent deal for the buyer. I too am looking for something simular, but maybe closer to town with privacy and "elevation" on the water without the stilts."
