Gonzalez-North NW Pensacola Cantonment, FL

Located between Cantonment, Florida and the Escambia River State Wildlife Management Area, Gonzalez is roughly 12 miles north of Pensacola and eight miles northwest of the University of West Florida. Just slightly removed from the Gulf Coast's best beaches, including Pensacola Beach, Gulf Islands National Seashore, and Perdido Key, those choosing apartments in Gonzalez are able to enjoy a natural Florida setting at its best -- but only about 30 minutes away from a day of swimming, beachcombing, shelling, fishing, and paddle-boarding. Having Escambia Bay in your backyard, you'll be able to enjoy fishing, boating, birdwatching, and more when you move to Gonzalez. This large neighborhood contains a variety of restaurants and shops, especially along Highway 29 and Muscogee Road. Just outside Gonzalez, you'll find the vast Cantonment Park, International Paper, and the Champion Golf Club. Cordova Mall is about 20 minutes southeast of the neighborhood. Nearby Pensacola offers more great destinations, including Quayside Gallery, the Five Sisters Blues Café, and the Vinyl Music Hall, which hosts live music events.
