Retirement Spotlight: Pensacola, FL

Published: Sat, 08/20/16

Located at the very far end of the panhandle, Pensacola is a perfect location for anyone looking to enjoy Florida’s perfect weather and those beautiful Gulf Coast beaches, without relocating to one of the popular tourist destinations.

Between the outstanding fishing opportunities, the adventure of canoeing along the Blackwater River, and the history of the National Museum of Naval Aviation, there is a never-ending supply of activities to keep residents busy here. But at the end of the day, life in Pensacola is a pretty close match to the relaxing Florida retirement lifestyle you have alway envisioned for yourself.

This part of the Panhandle remains one of the least developed parts of Florida, but that is set to change soon.

The St. Joe Company has announced plans to develop pockets of “The Villages” style retirement communities in Northwest Florida, beginning with Watersound Origins.

Touching the banks of Lake Powell, one of Florida’s largest coastal dune lakes, Watersound Origins is a 1,400-acre community with uncompromising ideals and standards in planning, architecture, aesthetics and amenities.

Watersound Origins offers a relaxed setting amid the natural beauty of Lake Powell and towering pines with the convenience of quaint shops, lively eateries and local activities of famed Scenic Highway 30-A just three miles south.

A variety of floor plans ideal for families, individuals or seasonal residents are offered starting in the mid $400’s.
