Thanks!Welcome back! Graduated UWF and lived in Pcola for 10 years. Loved it.
But no state income tax easily makes up for the higher property tax.. Welcome to Pensacola... I'm out here where the Blue Angels practice...Awesome!!!It depends on where in TN you're coming from and where in FL you're going. I was in metro Nashville and moved to Pace. I made out like a bandit. I got 149.00 a square foot, and paid 107.00 - for just as nice a place. My property taxes are higher per square foot, but not as bad as you might think.

Welcome home! Living close to the water is a wonderful thing.
Me too.That sounds great as well. We're in Pace and the vibe is sweet. God I love Florida!
I'll be driving through Cantonement in about 30 minutes on my way to cut grass on Squirrel Ranch (in Baldwin County, AL)... I still love the street layout in Cantonement that the mill originally built when you would have been there. Oh, and I think the golf course finally closed last year.Congrats lots LB. I was born in Pensacola (tiny Cantonment) 1945. It was all a privately owned paper mill, supported us, lived within eyesight straight down the street. St.Regis bought the mill and us people of that neighborhood. They moved us all to Jax, northside. I had the same schoolmates in Jax that I did in Cantonment. Amazing event. Dad so liked Cantonment so much for years he kept a pecan orchard he bought. Every year the orchard neighbor wrote Dad asking permission to harvest the pecans. Dad told him he needn't ask but he wrote every year. We didn't really know him and no money was ever talked of. It was beautiful 20 acres packed with lined up pecan trees. It was split by a stream. Govment cut it in half with a highway. That Gov pressure crap is why Dad sold it.
Enjoy settling in. I'll be watching with y'all Saturday. Another oddity = Did my predental at UF but got my DDS degree from UT Med School in Memphis - Florida was years away from getting a dental school, which I bet is better than UT's by now. Grew up age 6-20 as a Florida fan & was at UF in Spurrier's class. Sat on 50 yd-line every UF v UGa game from age 6 'til I moved far away. (Never rooted for UT.) Stay cozy.
PS>> Forget about Durty's threat. I've offered him my wife instead.
Quite true, I live in Jackson which was reported in the NYT as the cheapest town in the US. Going to Venice area and since I am elderly I want a very custom house to meet needs of handicapped elderly people. I was quoted up to 200/ sq foot and including the garage in the calculation.
Property taxes on my house are about 1200 per year, there with a smaller home probably near triple.
Thanks for the response, we have visited various areas around Florida, and have spent two months in the target area. I missed a good opportunity several years ago because I was too worried about having two houses at the same time. I regret it now but who knows what might have happened.
It must be tough living there. My wife's aunt lives in Jackson and her grandmother in Lexington. We go there twice a year and I count the hours waiting to leave that place.
Not for me, I was paid on a national scale so low cost of living is great. Now I am a private person, so lack of social type stuff is not a problem for me.
I don't tolerate the weather than well, too hot now and will be too cold later.
Each of us has different criteria, now I dislike the corrupt city government and their focus on politics rather than say the roads that are in bad condition.
We do have a lot of restaurants, I like to eat out so that is a good thing for me.
Nice to make your acquaintance neighbor.But no state income tax easily makes up for the higher property tax.. Welcome to Pensacola... I'm out here where the Blue Angels practice...Awesome!!!
There is living near water and living near water. I live in South Louisiana - not quite the same
Congratulation on the new house.
I have family there and love the Emerald Coast – Favorite place in UF not the “Swamp”
But my wife is from here and Grand Kids are here SO, guess where we are?
Merci! laissez le bon temps rouler

Oui mon ami - Certainment!And let's hope those "Good Times" roll in/on Rocky Top
We just sold my parents house in Pace off Woodbine Road. Got about 90 per foot. It was 35 years old and needed some updates but in great structural shape. Had 3 acres on lawn and 4 pecan trees.It depends on where in TN you're coming from and where in FL you're going. I was in metro Nashville and moved to Pace. I made out like a bandit.
