We’re located on Florida’s beautiful Emerald Coast, just minutes away from some of the world’s most stunning beaches. Here are just a few highlights about why it’s such a great place to live, work, and play!

1. Gorgeous Beaches and Outdoor Recreation

  • Pensacola Beach: Famous for its pristine white sand, often described as powdery and soft, Pensacola Beach is consistently ranked among the best beaches in the U.S. The waters here are calm and clear, making it perfect for families, swimming, and snorkeling.
  • Perdido Key: This more secluded barrier island has an untouched, natural vibe, with fewer crowds and opportunities for kayaking, birdwatching, and fishing. It’s part of the Gulf Islands National Seashore, which preserves the area’s stunning dunes and coastline.
  • Water Sports: Whether you’re into jet skiing, scuba diving, parasailing, paddleboarding, or sailing, the Pensacola area offers endless opportunities to enjoy the Gulf. Fishing is also big here—charter boats can take you deep-sea fishing in the Gulf, while local piers offer excellent shore fishing.

2. Affordable Cost of Living and Business Potential

  • Housing: Per recent data, the median home price in Pensacola is around $290,000, significantly lower than the national average. The median rent for one bedroom apartments is around $1300 per month, with two and three bedroom homes generally renting for $1600-$2000 dependent on proximity to the water.
  • Diverse Economic Sectors:Pensacola’s economy is anchored by several strong industries, providing a broad base for growth and business development:
    • Defense and Aerospace
    • Tourism
    • Healthcare
    • Higher education
  • Tax Benefits: Florida is one of the few states with no state income tax, which is a big financial perk for residents. This helps keep more money in your pocket compared to living in states with higher tax rates.

3. Naval Heritage and Blue Angels

  • Naval Air Station Pensacola (NAS Pensacola): Often referred to as the "Cradle of Naval Aviation," this base is home to naval aviators and the world-famous Blue Angels. It also houses the National Naval Aviation Museum, one of the largest aviation museums in the world, showcasing vintage aircraft, interactive exhibits, and flight simulators.
  • Blue Angels: As a Pensacola resident, you can witness the Blue Angels’ practice shows, which are free and open to the public. The Blue Angels also perform annually at the Pensacola Beach Air Show , drawing large crowds to watch breathtaking aerial maneuvers over the Gulf.
