Pensacola

Located on the northern shore of Pensacola bay, the city looks south past Santa Rosa peninsula and Santa Rosa sound to the gulf and to the west to Perdido Key. Rich with history, many historic sites and natural beauty, Pensacola's theme is promise, progress, and prosperity. A unique blend of energy that conquered the New World and the laid back lifestyle of the gulf coast, characterize its personality.

Population

Approximately 454,000 people live year-round in the Pensacola city limits, with about 1,000 newcomers added each year (2005 records). The youthful populations of the Naval Air Station, Pensacola Junior College and the University of West Florida combine with the large group of military civilian retirees for stimulating mix of energy, skills and concerns which greatly enhance the quality of life in the area.

Gulf Breeze

East of Pensacola across the 3-mile bridge that spans Pensacola Bay is Gulf Breeze. This is a small town of approximately 27,927 residents who value friends, family, and neighborhoods. Gulf Breeze is only minutes away from Pensacola Beach, the National Seashore, and the many cultural activities in downtown Pensacola. In addition to Gulf Breeze Hospital and schools of high-repute, Gulf-Breeze has a theater, many boutiques, new restaurants, and a large chain of store.

Navarre

Navarre is considered to be one of Florida's best kept secrets. Located on the snow white beaches and emerald green waters of the Gulf of Mexico, this community is one of the fastest growing spots in northwest Florida.

The natural beauty of the area, the mild climate and quality of life has produced a population and building explosion. The area stretches from Okaloosa county line to the western edge of Holley-By-The-Sea. As of 2007, the population of Navarre has increased to 30,699.
