Quiet suburb communit 10 miles north of Pensacola Naval Air Station

Myrtle Grove is a quiet suburb about 10 miles west of Pensacola Beach and 10 miles north of the city’s Gulf-side Naval Air Station. “There are a lot of service members living in Myrtle Grove,” Shawn Patterson says. The local Realtor with Keller Williams Realty Gulf Coast adds, “They get transferred every couple of years, so there’s instant camaraderie and friendship within the community.” While “the navy base is what draws people,” Patterson explains the neighborhood is “close to everything.” Residents are within walking distance of neighborhood playgrounds and corner markets – plus, nearby Fort Pickens has a hidden beach where locals can escape the downtown tourist crowds.

Myrtle Grove is a mostly residential neighborhood with winding live oak lined streets.

Ranch-style homes and conctret block houses

Myrtle Grove’s wide, flat streets wind through residential boroughs featuring a varied mix of typical suburban-style homes. There are sprawling ranch-style homes with trees peaking over low-pitched roofs, traditional concrete block houses and some split levels with front-facing picture windows. While most of these homes date back to the 1960s and 1970s, similar-style new construction homes are currently being developed throughout the neighborhood. Lawns are kept simple and well-maintained, with tree-lined backyards big enough to add a pool and still have room for a dog to run. As for home prices, Patterson says, “Myrtle Grove is way less price per square foot compared to the rest of Pensacola, but it’s not a funky area – it’s still pretty cool.” Most of the neighborhood’s updated three-bedroom listings cost between $200,000 and $350,000.

Close to the Pensacola Naval Hospital

Pensacola’s Naval Hospital sits along the neighborhood’s south border, adjacent to US Highway 98. While there are several fixed-route bus stops along this highway, most residents still use a car to get around. Locals can travel east down the highway and hop on North New Warrington Road to arrive at Pensacola International Airport in just under 10 miles. Along the east side of the neighborhood, South Naval Boulevard connects commuters to the nearby Naval Air Station.

Premium-cut meats at Costellos Butcher and Deli

Myrtle Grove residents can ride their bikes to small neighborhood businesses or take a short drive to the nearby commercial corridor along New Warrington Road. Locals shop for household products and everyday groceries at chain stores like Walmart and ALDI. Neighborhood corner markets make it easy to find any forgotten or last-minute essentials. Military service members and their families can find discounts on clothes, electronics and other household items at the Navy Exchange in Corry Station. On the far west side of Myrtle Grove, Costellos Butcher and Deli is the local go-to for specialty meats served with a smile. Across the street, locals can stop by Cazadores and enjoy a glass of homemade horchata with an authentic Mexican street taco on the side. Sleepy Hollow is a popular bar where locals like to hang out and sing karaoke on Fridays after work.

Nearby, quiet white-sand beaches at Fort Pickens

Locals can walk to neighborhood parks and spend weekends on the nearby white-sand beaches. After school, Sherwood Elementary students can ride bikes to Osceola Park and race down the tree-shaded slide towers, while parents walk the loop track just around the corner at Gene Pickerill Park. The Osceola Municipal Golf Course offers a no-frills 18-hole course with an on-site restaurant serving breakfast, lunch and handmade cocktails. Military service members and their families can head to Corry Station and spend a Friday night at the on-site bowling alley or join one of the youth or adult athletic leagues. While Pensacola Beach attracts thousands of tourists each year, residents prefer to soak in the sun on the closer and quieter white-sand shoreline at Fort Pickens.

Excelet military programs at Escambia High School

Students can attend Escambia County public schools. Both Myrtle Grove Elementary and Sherwood Elementary are in the neighborhood and score a C on Niche. Sixth graders move on to Bellview Middle, which Niche rates a C-minus. Escambia High School established one of the nation’s first Naval JROTC programs in 1967. The C-plus school has since gone on to add several other career-focused programs, including the popular Flight Engineering Academies.

Escambia has great amenities for its students.
