At the western end of the Florida panhandle,
Pensacola and Perdido Key combine the New South with the best of Old Florida.
The city of Pensacola, sophisticated yet casual, cosmopolitan yet charming,
is frequently mentioned in surveys as one of the best places in the U.S.
to live. Visit www.pensacola.com for the latest events and city information.
Across the bridge from Pensacola in the middle of Pensacola Bay, the city of Gulf Breeze offers its quiet lifestyle -- with 18 miles of waterfront -- at the tip of a peninsula. Yet another bridge across Santa Rosa Sound brings you to Pensacola Beach.
Fifteen miles to the west, the barrier island of Perdido Key, a narrow strip of snow white beaches and crystal blue waters, is a natural paradise lined with miles of bays, bayous and estuaries.
With miles of waterfront not just on the Gulf of Mexico but on Pensacola Bay,
Escambia Bay, and Santa Rosa Sound, the Pensacola area offers a wide variety
of luxury condominiums and a growing choice of premier waterfront estates.
Perdido Key's luxury high-rise condos and estates overlook both the Gulf of Mexico's tropical beaches and the scenic Old River and Intracoastal Waterway.
