The weather is actually one of the reasons I'm considering moving to Pensacola. I love the fact that it's not hot all the time. I love more spring type 60ish degree weather so the winter time there sounds pretty good to me! :)

Thanks for watching and the comment. Call me and tell me what you are looking for and I can do videos.

[@helenaalicia6987]

@@LivinginPensacolaFlorida I agree. Highlight neighborhoods. Especially those within 5 miles from the beach. 😉 Bikeable. Where can you bike around. how are the bike lanes? Could you cross the bridges on Bike? S Also, are there beach clubs at the beach? Like if you live a ways away, you could have parking and amenities to spend the day. How about snorkeling and diving in the area? renting a boat? where could you go on a boat if you wanted to avoid the summer traffic to the beach? - there you go, lots of content to consider in making more videos. I will be looking out for them.

[@helenaalicia6987]

Thanks. Love your honesty. Never been there but will be coming down in the next month to check it out. We have been following your videos, very thankful for them.

I think it is pretty laxed. If you go into the grocery store they expect you to have it on. Yes this is a great place for LMTs. I will be your first customer ;)

You should wear a mask. Everyone here will call you out on it and you'll look like an idiot walking around a store without one. Believe me. I'm one of those people who will call you out in public for not wearing one. It really isn't hard to do. Especially coming from somewhere else. We don't need more covid cases, Karen.

I’m seriously considering moving to Pensacola, Pace or Perdido Keys. I’ve been researching for half a year or 6 months now and I’m flying out in 3 months to scope the area. I currently live in downtown Phoenix. I bought a new build condo 6 months ago but should easily be able to flip it. I also work as a TSA officer at Sky Harbor Airport and should be able to transfer to Pensacola Airport in due time. I don’t really want to spend more than $200K and I’m single with no kids. I don’t need anything big so I was thinking maybe a small condo in downtown Pensacola. Are there any small new build condo going for $189K or so? ....Thanks

Pensacola is not very good to go to if you are a young ambitious civilian professional right out of college/early in your career taking a position with a low salary. That was me in the 2000's, having moved there from the north. If you are a wealthy retired couple with money to enjoy the water, nice restaurants, golfing...and don't have to build a career there, it's great. But it takes a lot of money to enjoy the water and be on the water regularly (ie. own waterfront property with a dock and boat). It is still in the heart of the "redneck riviera" and you are either going to like that or it is going to grate on you over time. There are not the kinds of job opportunities that you are going to find in other larger metro areas. Like other places in Florida it is rigged towards people that went to the big Florida schools / the South and who grew up there. I don't know about now but back then it was more polarized at many levels of government and there were people who hated each other and had deep-seated grievances about various things. People were really competitive and treated each other like crap as they competed for low paying jobs when all you had to do was pull up stakes and move down state for a better quality of life --- which is what I did....thank God.
