Pace balances suburban comfort with Gulf Coast access, making it appealing to anyone seeking room to grow, strong schools, and easy commutes. Set within Santa Rosa County, it offers quick connections to job centers and entertainment in Pensacola, historic downtown cafés in Milton, and beach days in Navarre.
Families consistently note the caliber of education through the well-regarded Santa Rosa County District Schools. Local campuses—such as Pace High, Sims Middle, and Dixon schools—anchor community life with athletics, arts, and clubs. Weekends often revolve around neighborhood parks; Benny Russell Park is a favorite for playground time, ball fields, and shaded walking paths, while youth sports leagues keep schedules lively year-round.
Outdoorsy residents have choices in every direction. Paddle blackwater creeks and hike longleaf trails at Blackwater River State Park, or head south for sugar-white sand and calm surf at Gulf Islands National Seashore. For continuing education, cultural events, and nature trails, the University of West Florida is just a short drive, offering everything from theater productions to campus museums.
Housing ranges from established neighborhoods with mature oaks to newer subdivisions near shopping along U.S. 90, and community events—from holiday parades to food-truck nights—keep calendars full. Whether you’re planning to buy or sell, Agent Pronto can connect you with a top local real estate professional to help you navigate the Pace market with confidence.
