East Pensacola Heights Homes for Sale

East Pensacola Heights is a coveted historic neighborhood nestled between Pensacola Bay and Bayou Texar, just a stone’s throw away from all things downtown Pensacola. It is thought to be the first European settlement in North America.

The East Pensacola Heights Community

Walking the streets of the neighborhood, you will find Craftsman cottages built in the 1920s with a mix of new construction emulating the same coastal architectural style. Live Oak tree limbs with Spanish moss drape the streets and cast dappled light. Views of the bay and bayou remind you that you are in a coastal Florida town. Wildlife is at your doorstep with osprey soaring, mullet jumping and dolphin feeding. The various sea birds make it a birder’s paradise. It is a small pocket neighborhood, often overlooked and known only by the locals.

There are plenty of casual restaurants within walking distance. “Restaurant Row” offers deli and pizza options, gourmet grab and go, a good old fashioned diner, cafe dining, coffee shops and a couple of great pubs.  Everything is at your fingertips from grocery and clothing stores to yoga studio and spa. Except for hitting the beach one doesn’t need to leave the neighborhood.
