Pensacola Real Estate & Homes for Sale

The City of Pensacola sits inland from the Gulf, along the Bay. It was the first European settlement on the continent of North America. An important seaport since 1559, it has one of the most colorful histories in the country. First, founded by the Spanish, taken over by the French, it was then acquired by the British - all in the first 200 years. During the Civil War, it became a part of the Confederacy but was later taken into the reformed union of the United States after the war. Having so many different cultures has produced a wide variety of architecture and attractions all over the city. Likewise, it has given Pensacola and Beach numerous nicknames, including: "World's Whitest Beaches", "Emerald Coast", "Western Gate to the Sunshine State" as Pensacola is the westernmost city in Florida. The term "Pensacola" came from the Native Americans who originally inhabited the bay area.

Unlike Southern Florida, Pensacola and its beachfront sister-city have a temperate climate, mild winter, spring, and fall, as well as the usual summer months. This can be the perfect place to retire or just live a lifestyle that few are lucky enough to enjoy.

Great city amenities include seven hospitals, the International Airport, six universities, several semi-professional sports teams (including the Blue Wahoos and their new waterfront stadium), theaters, golf courses, the Opera, Symphony Orchestra, and much more.

The public schools, rated among the best in the nation, including the City High School - which was rated the 8th best school in America in 2004. Several annual seafood festivals have occurred here for more than thirty years. The Great Gulf Coast Arts Festival draws more than 200 local, national, and international artists annually. A gem of the city is the Vietnam Veterans South Wall, a monument to all the fallen heroes of the war.
