About Woodlands

Situated just north of the bustling Five Points area in Pace, Woodlands offers a more deliberate pace of life defined by deep manicured lawns and established oak trees. Unlike the high-density developments appearing elsewhere in Santa Rosa County, this neighborhood was planned with space in mind. The entrance off Woodbine Road leads into a network of winding streets where traditional brick architecture dominates. Residents here aren't right on top of their neighbors; instead, the community feels airy and open. It serves as a quiet retreat that maintains its residential integrity while being only a three-minute drive from the grocery stores and local eateries that line Highway 90. The absence of through-traffic makes the interior loops a favorite for evening walks, while the proximity to Chumuckla Highway provides a straight shot toward the rural northern reaches of the county.
