Oakhurst delivers an easygoing, residential feel with the daily conveniences of Ferry Pass close at hand. Minutes from the University of West Florida, residents tap into campus performances, lectures, and the serene UWF Nature Trails along the Escambia River. Shopping runs are simple around Davis Highway and University Town Plaza, and quick connections to Pensacola put downtown dining, festivals, and waterfront sunsets within a short drive. Weekends often lead to the bluff-top boardwalks and sweeping views at Bay Bluffs Park, while neighborhood fields and playgrounds keep pickup games and playdates on the calendar.
Schools are a point of pride here. Zoned options commonly include Ferry Pass Elementary, Ferry Pass Middle, and Booker T. Washington High, all part of the Escambia County system supported by Escambia County Public Schools. Healthcare is nearby at West Florida Hospital, and travel is straightforward via Pensacola International Airport. Housing ranges from classic brick ranches to thoughtful updates with shady yards and sidewalks that invite evening strolls and neighborly conversations. Between university arts and athletics, accessible parks, and everyday conveniences, Oakhurst balances quiet living with plenty to do.
