Looking for the Perfect Second Home or Vacation Getaway?
Pensacola Beach is the place for a second home or vacation getaway. Pensacola Beach Florida homes and condominiums are located on Northwest Florida's sugar white sand beaches, the direct result of quartz being washed from the Appalachian Mountains thousands of years ago.
The beautiful juxtaposition of emerald green water and white sand has long attracted tourists and turned many of them into full time residents. Pensacola Beach is on a barrier island, Santa Rosa Island, sitting on the Gulf of Mexico in Escambia County, Florida. As of the 2000 census, the population of this small island was 2,738.
Combine the gorgeous scenery with the limited amount of buildable land - the Pensacola Beach 8.2 mile core area is bordered east and west by 15 miles of State and National Seashore and north and south by water - and you see why Pensacola Beach has always been in demand.
Of the 1,474 acres of Santa Rosa Island controlled by Escambia County, about 77 acres are approved for hotel development - a little more than 5% of the total acerage. By contrast, more than 600 acres are reserved for preservation, conservation, recreation and beaches. And that is in addition to the 1,742 acres of Gulf Islands National Seashore land preserved to the west of Pensacola Beach toward Fort Pickens and the 1,598 acres of National Seashore that will remain undeveloped to the east. Hotels and retail establishments are built along a central stretch a little more than a mile long.
There are still wonder real estate opportunities on this beautiful island, but you need a local market expert to help you find the best opportunities. Our team has closed more than $100,000,000 in real estate transactions over the past five years and we are aware of all the latest housing issues and trends as the relate to Pensacola Beach Florida homes and condominiums.
