anybody from Pensacola, FL?

just looking for some general info about Pensacola...my girlfriend is awaiting a job offer there, and we're trying to find out some info about the area such as: nice apartment complexes, good neighborhoods, general cost of living, etc...if you are from the area, do you enjoy living there? just looking for any insight...thanks for any info.

lived there for a couple of years when i was a kid. cant help you on cost of living/etc as i dont know cuz i was just a kid but its cool cuz your real close to the Gulf. i visited family when i got a lil older but not as of recently have i been down there. i would say its an overall good place to live though.

You will be close to Spring Fling and Scrapn the Coast. I live in Mobile Al. But I am always over there for concert in the civic center.

I LIVE IN PENSACOLA ITS OK AS FAR AS TRUCK SCENE EVERY SATURDAY NIGHT PEOPLE MEET AT BURGER KING AND THEN CRUISE TO THE BAYFRONT THERE IS USUALLY ABOUT 50 OR MORE RIDES.......JOBS SUCK ROADS SUCK AND COST OF LIVIN IS KINDA HIGH!

yeah, well while i love cars/trucks, i'm not that concerned as far as they go...i'm really more interested in the more important aspects of the area...i've already heard about issues with taxes and insurance...also read some reviews about low wages and not enough job opportunites...keep the info coming though...i'm sure everyone has different opinions

I live in crestview and its about 40 minutes from pensacola. I think itd be a great place to live since they have the civic center. The concerts/hockey games/ and monster truck rallys are all held there and its pretty fun.

i lived there for a bit in the navy. i thought it was a great area. low cost of living, nice beach, good people... i really liked living there

im in fort walton bch. about 30 minutes away! theres a good amount of jobs! you have alot of area to find a good job! cost of living could be a littler lower but hey! thats what happen when you move to a tourist infested area!

the one day off i had when i was down south for hurricane relief i went quite a few times there and it's very nice place and the people are awesome down south ,plus you got daulphin island who's very nice too not too far
