Thinking about making the move to Wakulla Cnty

Give me some of the Pros and Cons.
We currently line on the NE side of town. We want to move into a 4/2 house on close to an acre lot, but for a decent house in a decent part of town looks like it can easily cost upwards of 325k for not. Seems like if we wanted .5 acres or less that would open up a lot but I don't want to sacrifice the yard size too much. Even contemplated bulding but it is very hard if not impossible to find a decent lot to build on for under 100k, then you have at a minimum of $125 sq/ft in building costs.
So that brings me to Crawfordville.
I can get at least a 2 acre lot for well under 50k. There are some really good builders down there for a little over $100 sq/ft. I really don't mind the country living style that people down there have since that is what I was raised on. I know I am sacrificing some places to eat, but I am a lot closer to the coast . Property taxes would be less. Their schools might not be quite as good as some here but I really think they are just under the quality of education that Leon County provides. From what I have talked to people that have lived there for a while, it has really started to grow over the last 10+ years for the better with some really good neighborhoods down there now.
What is everyone's thoughts? Pros/Cons? Things in Tally are just so expensive now that we are growing a family.
