Local affectionately
refer to City of Gulf Breeze as "Gulf Breeze Proper" or the
"Downtown". While Florida developers are trying to create
traditional neighborhood wannabees, the genuine article is right here in Gulf
Breeze. A quiet community situated between Pensacola and Pensacola Beach,
Gulf Breeze is a community that offers most of life's amenities within
walking or biking distance - including terrific schools, churches, parks,
hospital, post office, library, dining, shops, grocery store - not to mention
a boat launch. |

Business owners can
easily find affordable office space minutes from their Gulf Breeze homes.
Gulf Breeze was developed in the 50's, 60's and 70's. Most of the lots are
quite large and are filled with mature oak and other trees. From the secluded
winding streets, it isn't obvious that many homes face the Sound or Pensacola
Bay. Best of all, many Gulf Breeze homesites are situated on higher
elevations. Gulf Breeze Proper homes range from $00,000 for smaller 1960's
ranch-style homes to over $1,000,000 for waterfront estates. |

The city also has a
very active youth sports association. Almost half the land within the city
limits is devoted to parks and playgrounds - baseball and softball fields,
soccer fields, lighted tennis courts, a community recreation center, and a
football stadium. Recently, Gulf Breeze broke ground for a multi-use trail.
When completed, the trail will complete a 40-mile loop through Navarre,
Navarre Beach and Pensacola Beach. |
