Forget living in Pensacola - it’s not bad but you can do better at nearby Gulf Breeze, Navarre, and Niceville. Most of Escambia and all of Santa Rosa and Okaloosa counties are very conservative. Christian churches abound and crime is very low, plus the beautiful Gulf of Mexico and tons of lakes and rivers. We are surrounded by military and retired military.
I will definitely check out Gulf Breeze, Navarre, and Niceville. When you are doing research, you usually just get the big names like Pensacola. Nobody tells you about the hidden gems. Which you just did, so thank you for that. I sincerely appreciate it. One of those could become my home some day.
