Anchored by views of the bay, Southeast Pensacola may be just above downtown, but it feels breezy and easygoing. Realtor Levi Fortner, who heads up a team of Panhandle experts called The Fortner Team, says this area is sometimes called East Hill. “It’s one of the most sought-after neighborhoods in Pensacola just because of the community aspect,” he says. With no HOA, eclectic styles bloom, from renovated historic homes to modern construction. Numerous parks, and public boat ramps keep people out and about, or you can find residents enjoying the multiple commercial amenities populating Southeast Pensacola, from the Publix grocery store to locally owned restaurants and cafes.
There area an array of architectural styles to choose from in Pensacola.

Eclectic styles in the $400k range
Homes in the area are a tidy mix of bungalows, cottages, contemporary coastal styles and midcentury modern homes with sloping roofs. There are plenty of custom-built residences throughout the area too. Being downtown-adjacent results in smaller, well-kept yards. Brick and stucco often make up the facades of homes here, which can be admired from the abundant sidewalks. Fortner points out that many homes will be in the $400,000 range, but homebuyers can expect to see the million-dollar price point come into view when considering waterfront properties. Further east towards Pensacola Bay, along a sliver of land across Bayou Texar often referred to as The Bluffs, homebuyers will encounter a suburban landscape with Cordova Mall, Pensacola International Airport and Sacred Heart Memorial Hospital as desirable northern neighbors.

Freshly made pasta at Bonelli's
For groceries, residents can visit the local Publix Super Markets or any of the smaller stores in the area. There’s no lack of flavor living in Southeast Pensacola. Dining choices are plentiful, and places like Bonelli’s have become landmarks by offering a relaxing, comfortable environment and generous portions of their homemade food, like freshly made pastas. Opened in 1977, McGuire’s Irish Pub takes customers back to turn of the century New York with an Irish saloon-themed restaurant. Placed in a former firehouse, it features daily lunch specials and a happy hour. Live music events include traditional Irish singers and instrumentalists.

Artistic events in abundance
Although graffiti is illegal in Pensacola, one of the area’s most popular attractions is The Graffiti Bridge. The art changes almost daily and is chronicled by several local photographers. In fact, this iconic landmark is a favorite photography and selfies spot for locals and tourists alike. The bridge was once a railroad overpass and has always been popular with taggers. The first recorded graffiti here was in 1935. For more interactive art experiences, the First City Art Center aims to build a strong community through workshops, classes, exhibitions, field trips and more. Each October, it sponsors the Pumpkin Patch event to feature more than 50 local artists, who make and sell thousands of unique pumpkins. Classes at the institute include glass blowing, drawing, sculpture and pottery.
Come get some hands on experience with First City Art Center's many art classes.

Robust athletics at Booker T. Washington High
The neighborhood is home to several schools, including A. K. Suter Elementary School, which opened in 1921. The school scores high across a range of categories on Niche, including an A-minus overall. Workman Middle gets an A in diversity, and Booker T. Washington High gets a B-minus overall. The school has a robust athletic program: in 2023 alone, the girls’ volleyball team went to district finals and a senior swim team member qualified for the 2024 Olympic Trials.

Bayview Park is a crown jewel
Fortner says the neighborhood’s Bayview Park is arguably one of the best parks in Pensacola. There’s a playground, pavilion, boat launch and two dog parks. Tennis courts offer athletic fun, but visitors can also stay active along the trails dotted with mature shade trees. Historic homes fronted by sidewalk surround the park, giving the feel of a cozy neighborhood institution where the community can gather.

Getting around on Cervantes Street
Interstate 110 runs along the west end, and is one way to reach Pensacola International Airport. Cervantes Street, also known as Route 90, runs east-west through the neighborhood, and is a key commercial spot for grabbing groceries or some fast casual food. Chase Street and Highway 98 are more east-west corridors further south in the neighborhood, and these parallel thoroughfares are trafficked by public buses. Locally owned restaurants are concentrated here, including McGuire’s Irish Pub and Another Broken Egg Café.
110 runs north and south all the way to Downtown Pensacola.
