Real Estate & Housing
The cost of living in Coffee County is
incredibly reasonable – nearly 25% lower
than the U.S. average. A major reason for this
is our housing costs, which are less than half
the U.S. average. This means your dollars
stretch so much farther than in other parts of
the country. For example, you can purchase
a well-appointed, three-bedroom, 2,300
square-foot ranch on a sizeable, manicured
lot for less than $300,000.
Of the nearly 15,000 occupied housing
units in Coffee County, 59% are single-family
homes and 7.9% are apartment units.
Wiregrass Aristida stricta
Wiregrass dominates understory
vegetation in sandhills and coastal
plain longleaf pine ecosystems in
the Southeast. It’s a clump, or bunch-
forming grass, that needs fire to
disperse its seeds. This indigenous
plant’s ecological role is to carry
surface fires without high intensity.
