Bay County Real Estate - Fountain
Fountain is an unincorporated community in Bay County. Fountain acts as a microcosm of North Florida as a whole, in that it feels more like the south than the stereotypical Florida image of palm trees and beaches. There are lots of tall trees and most of the buildings are small homes or trailers. There is a main road that runs through the middle of the community with dirt roads that lead off to the residential areas. There are also many small Christian churches that scatter the area.
Fountain is in North West Florida. Fountain is approximately 26 miles from Panama City (population 36,484) and around 21 miles from Lynn Haven (population 18,493).
