What va / military looks like in Navarre
East along the coast near Navarre Beach, for buyers who want to live close to the water.
Navarre stretches along Highway 98 east of Gulf Breeze, with Navarre Beach across the bridge on Santa Rosa Island.
Most buyers here look on the mainland, and where a home sits relative to Highway 98 shapes the daily drive as much as anything inside the house.
- The homes
- Most buyers look on the mainland; Navarre Beach is across the bridge. A mix of established subdivisions, newer homes and homes outside an HOA. Holley by the Sea is one of the larger communities buyers ask about. Neighborhoods feel more spread out than Gulf Breeze proper.
- Why people choose it
- Buyers who want a residential neighborhood with beach access, including military households working toward Hurlburt Field.
- Schools people ask about
- Families often ask about Holley-Navarre Primary and Intermediate, West Navarre Primary and Intermediate, Holley-Navarre Middle and Navarre High. Soundside High has brought school-zone changes, so check the district locator for the exact address and school year.
- Getting around
- Highway 98 is the main east-west route, and where a home sits relative to it makes a real difference to the daily drive. Test the commute during actual work hours.
- Nearby
- Navarre Beach, across the bridge, without living on the island.
- The trade-off
- Farther from downtown Pensacola than Gulf Breeze proper, and more time driving for work and city errands than living in Pensacola. In return, a home base near Navarre Beach in a more spread-out residential setting.
