1 Bedroom Apartments for Rent in Lynn Haven, FL

"That's the big guy ... Quite a paintbrush he's got." From the movie The Truman Show

The Truman Show is one claim to fame for Lynn Haven, FL -- residents remember when the Old Bailey Bridge was closed for filming, so Jim Carrey's character could make his brave escape. In fact, lots of movies are filmed in the area, thanks to the beautiful tropical scenery. And while Panama City is great for spring break, insiders know that for year-round living, you need to go 15 minutes north to Lynn Haven. You get all the benefits of the Florida Panhandle -- like gorgeous weather and easy beach access -- but you don't have to trip over tourists on your way to the grocery store. Just maybe a few movie stars.

Like a well-kept secret, Lynn Haven is nestled against the North Bay, a warm stretch of water that flows into the Gulf of Mexico
