Question: The idyllic, eerily perfect town of Seahaven in The Truman Show (1998) was filmed almost entirely in which real Florida planned community on the Panhandle’s Emerald Coast?

Answer: Seaside, Florida.

Seaside was founded as a New Urbanist town in Walton County, whose pastel cottages, white picket fences, and walkable grid made it a natural fit for Truman Burbank’s manufactured world.
