The name Chevalier comes from the original airfield at Pensacola NAS, which was named after one of the first Naval Aviators. Godfrey Chevalier who was designated as Naval Aviator #7.

Chevalier consists of homes from 1800 to 3000 square foot contemporary 3 and 4 bedroom with mostly brick construction.

Chandelle Subdivision Report on Pensacola Real Estate News
January 30th, 2012 Categories: Southwest Pensacola
The Southwest Pensacola neighborhood of Chandelle is a classic south Florida style neighborhood of mostly stucco homes with a few brick homes scattered throughout.
If you would like more information on Chandelle, call Jim Holland at 850-206-6140 or e-mail me at [email protected]
Pensacola Real Estate Chandelle
Chandelle was built in the late 1990’s through the 2000’s and I think almost all, if not every home, was built by Classic Homes, a well respected local builder.
Chandelle is fairly unique in Pensacola real estate, because it is built around a series of small lakes that give many of the homes water front. Also, in the classic south Florida design, many of the homes have large lanais and screened in pools.
Pensacola Real Estate Chandelle
Classic was one of the first builders to start building this design and they still build some of these same floor plans in newer Pensacola real estate neighborhoods, such as Nature Trail.
Sales in Chandelle always seem to be good, mainly because of its proximity to Perdido Key, and Pensacola NAS , the National Naval Aviation Museum,and Pensacola Corry Station. If you live in Chandelle you will most likely have Navy or Civil Service folks for neighbors, as it is just minutes from the back gate of Pensacola NAS.
It is also very close to the Gulf Island National Seashore which is my favorite beach in all of North West Florida. It has about seven miles of undeveloped pure white beach that ends at Pensacola pass and is a protected federal reserve. It is home to large osprey and heron populations and an occasional bald eagle. And, on any given day you are likely to see dolphin swimming by.

Pensacola Beach Real Estate Foreclosures Portofino
January 27th, 2012 Categories: Pensacola Beach
I wanted to post a little bit about the condominium market on Pensacola beach that I find interesting.
First, that we have a total of 124 active condos listed, and in 2011 we sold a total of 149.
That indicates to me that by the end of this year we may have consumed most, if not all of the excess inventory that has been on Pensacola Beach for the last several years.
I know a lot of people think that the number of foreclosures still to come will keep inventory high, but according to the Pensacola MLS, of the current 124 condos for sale on Pensacola Beach only 9 are foreclosures or short sales, and as you can see by the chart below six of those are in Portofino,which only leaves four foreclosures or short sale starting off the year.
Portofino Pensacola Beach Real Estate
That is a far lower percentage of foreclosures or short sales than the rest of the Pensacola Real Estate market,and far lower then we have had on Pensacola Beach for years.

Shepherds Grove Subdivision is a Great Neighborhood if you are looking for Great Schools in the Pensacola Real Estate Market
December 14th, 2011 Categories: Northwest Pensacola
Of all of the homes available in the Pensacola Real Estate market, the Northwest Pensacola neighborhood of Shepherds Grove may have the best combination of elementary, middle and high schools available.
The Tate High School district has always been considered as being one of the most desirable high school districts in Escambia county. I have had many buyers who ask specifically to look at homes in that district. Tate High School has been known for having well supported sports teams and extracurricular activities for decades, and has always been known for a high level of community involvement.
Ransom middle school is also considered one of the best in the county and consistently rates well on the state standardized testing. Ransom, Tate and Pine Meadow elementary are all rated 8 out of ten or higher on the Great Schools website.
To find out about new homes to be built in the Pensacola real estate market, or existing homes, anywhere in the Pensacola real estate market call Jim Holland at 850-206-6140
or e-mail me at [email protected]
Fortunately, if you are looking for a great neighborhood to take advantage of these three good schools,D.R. Horton Pensacola is building some very good values in Shepherds Grove starting with a 2610 square foot 4 bedroom three bath Brookstone priced at $235,575

In Northwest Pensacola Real Estate, the Soaring Sudivision is Growing Again.
December 12th, 2011 Categories: Northwest Pensacola
The Pensacola Real Estate neighborhood of Soaring is about to start growing again.
D.R. Horton Pensacola has purchased four of the remaining lots to build some large homes at very competitive prices.
To see homes in northwest Pensacola’s Soaring, click this link
The homes range from the D.R. Horton Pensacola 2610 at 259,900, to a huge D. R. Horton Pensacola 4258 square foot with 6 bedrooms and three and one half baths for 333,875, which makes the price per square foot of that home less than 78.50 per square foot for new home construction.
That is a very good price per square foot currently in the Pensacola Real Estate market.
Soaring is a small exclusive gated community located in the desirable Northwest Pensacola area and has been built on a gently rolling picturesque meadow. The other homes in the Soaring neighborhood are beautiful, upscale, and mostly built by custom builders.
D.R. Horton Pensacola is concentrating on the area of Northwest Pensacola Florida because of the high quality of life enjoyed by residents living in this semi rural area close to town.
Soaring is about a twenty two minute drive to NAS Corry Station and about thirty minutes to Pensacola NAS.
It is very close to the Publix shopping center on Nine mile Rd(Hwy 90) at Pine Forest Rd, Soaring is 20 minutes from downtown Pensacola Florida, and thirty minutes from Pensacola Beach and this DR. Horton Pensacola neighborhood is only about twenty minutes from Pensacola Christian College (PCS) founded by DR.

The Indian Lake Sudivision is Unique in Pensacola Real Estate and Northwest Florida
December 5th, 2011 Categories: Northwest Pensacola
The Indian Lake subdivision being built by D.R. Horton Homes in Pensacola Florida is a pretty unique neighborhood in regards to Northwest Florida real estate because it has two features that most of our new home developments don’t have.
The first one, of course, is an actual usable and beautiful private lake that residents can fish and boat in. Although we are blessed to have an abundance of fresh water lakes in our area, nothing beats having one right in your own neighborhood!
To find out about new homes to be built in the Pensacola Real estate market, or existing homes, anywhere in the Pensacola Real estate market call Jim Holland at 850-206-6140
To see the homes currently available in Indian Lake, click on Homes For Sale In Indian Lake.
The other unique feature that may be even less common is that the neighborhood has been built on an area of gentle hills that in contrast to the flat topography of most of Florida, gives it a pleasantly different look and feel, compared to the former cow pastures that most builders have chosen to build on for the last few years.
The other very nice feature is that D.R. Horton has decided to build some of their nicest homes in Indian Lake and keep the prices very competitive. Also there is such a wide variety of homes in the neighborhood that it has a very custom look for a very low price. Adams Homes of Northwest Florida is also building here
Even though it feels like you are living in the country, Indian Lake is only about 25 minutes to NAS Corry Station
The only down side of Indian Lake is that, as of the posting of this article, it is nearly built out,so you will need to act quickly if you would like to get a new D.R. Horton Home in Northwest Pensacola.
Here are the homes that sold in Indian Lake in 2011
