Bob Hope Village is the flagship 55+ military independent living retirement community of the Air Force Enlisted Village, Inc. (AFEV), located at 92 Sunset Lane (with residential villages spanning 30 Holly Avenue) in Shalimar, Okaloosa County, Florida (ZIP 32579), equidistant between Eglin Air Force Base and Hurlburt Field. Operated by 501(c)(3) non-profit Air Force Enlisted Village, Inc. (Florida Sunbiz Non-Profit Doc# N97000007080, IRS EIN 23-7078212), the 125-acre guard-gated campus was founded with the core benevolent mission of providing a dignified, permanent home for surviving spouses of retired enlisted U.S. Airmen and uniformed service members, while also welcoming retired enlisted military couples aged 55 and older regardless of financial status.

Bob Hope Village encompasses seven residential apartment villages featuring more than 300 maintenance-free one-bedroom and two-bedroom-plus-den residences with full kitchens, private screened patios or balconies, step-in safety bathrooms, fire sprinklers, and 24/7 emergency response pendants and pull cords, with water, sewer, trash, basic cable TV, and Wi-Fi bundled. Campus life centers on The Commons and Dolores Hope All Faiths Chapel, offering the Kellogg Fitness Center, heated swimming pools and outdoor Jacuzzi, Knife's Edge Café, The General Store, pickleball courts, a dog park, RV storage, and over two miles of wooded walking trails.
