Navarre homes and neighborhoods

East along the coast near Navarre Beach, for buyers who want to live close to the water.

Living in Navarre

Navarre is a coastal community east of Gulf Breeze. Most people buying a home here are looking on the mainland, while Navarre Beach sits across the bridge. That is the appeal of Navarre FL neighborhoods: you can enjoy the beach without living on the island, and the neighborhoods feel more spread out than Gulf Breeze proper.

Navarre often appeals to buyers who want a residential neighborhood with beach access, including military households working toward Hurlburt Field.

How I help buyers and sellers in Navarre

Vivian Corwin is a bilingual Realtor and Military Relocation Professional with IXL Real Estate in Pensacola, FL, helping military and relocating families buy and sell homes across Pensacola, Pace, Milton, Gulf Breeze, and Navarre. In Navarre, I start with the map before we look at houses.

Highway 98 is the main east-west route through the area, and where a home sits relative to it can make a real difference to your daily drive. So I show buyers different parts of Navarre and pick the area around their commute and school needs first, then compare the homes. My short version for clients: if you want a home base near Navarre Beach and your routine works with the drive, Navarre is worth seeing.

For sellers, knowing that tells me who your buyer is. A home with an easy route to Hurlburt Field and a home in Holley by the Sea may draw different buyers, and I market to the right one. See how I sell homes.

Getting around, and the trade-off

The biggest trade-off is Highway 98. Traffic matters if you will commute to Pensacola or a base every day. Compared with Gulf Breeze proper, Navarre puts you farther from downtown Pensacola, and compared with living in Pensacola, you may spend more time driving for work and errands. Test the commute during your actual work hours before falling in love with a house. Schedule a time to talk with Vivian about Navarre.
