Moving To Pensacola

I hope you enjoy spice and armed robbery.

Anything on Cervantes St would be the best place for you to rent an apartment.

Gulf Breeze if you don't mind cops and hellish commutes.

I lived in Gulf Breeze for two years. It's between P'cola and P'cola beach. It's a great area. I would look at places in south Pensacola, close to downtown, or in Gulf Breeze, next to the beach. It's a military town and home to the Blue Angels. They're always flying around and waking people up in the summer months. That time of year can get really crazy with all the tourists as well. It's a couple hours east of NOLA and a couple hours west of Tallahassee, right off I10.

Location will be based on your needs. Where will you be working? I work in Pcola, live in Navarre. The pain in the arse is tourist season and dealing with issues/traffic on the bridge. 2 weeks ago there were breakdowns/wrecks and beach traffic to contend with, so it took me an hour and half to get home 3 days that week (usually takes 35-45 min if leaving at 4pm). I grew up in new orleans and have lived in navarre since 2003, worked east of navarre for 11 years, and now I'm working west of it. This drive is easier than the old one.

Gulf Breeze has it's pricey places, but is mostly middle class. You can find some good deals around. But it depends on where you want to be and what your priorities are. Like another poster said, the growth of downtown pensacola has been in the works and continues to be a priority of the mayor.
