Ferry Pass offers a lively place to live among the natural beauty of Northwest Florida, just 8 miles north of Pensacola. “People get a small-town feeling without a heavy southern vibe,” says Andrea Herring, a Realtor with Keller Williams Realty, who has lived in the Pensacola region her entire life. The area was once home to a ferry, which crossed Escambia Bay in the 1820s. The Civil War stopped ferry service for several decades, but the ferry was reestablished in 1915, allowing for economic and population growth. Today, it’s home to the University of West Florida, the Pensacola International Airport, and HCA Florida West Hospital, which are major employers. “People mostly move here because it's such a central location,” Herring says. The old ferry site is now a private boat launch and marina. According to Herring, there are many military bases nearby, which attracts military families to settle down here. Residents can find lots of recreation on land and water and breathtaking views along the Gulf Coast.
