Escambia County

Scott built a number of his early homes in downtown Pensacola, in Escambia County, before shifting his current work north to Pace, in neighboring Santa Rosa County. That history is a big part of why Escambia County is still a core part of our service area today. Pace is about 25 minutes away, close enough that a job anywhere in Escambia County, from Cantonment to Ferry Pass to the coast, gets the same attention as one down the street from our office. If you own a lot anywhere in the county, we'll build on it.

Building in Escambia County

Escambia County has about 333,800 residents as of 2025, up roughly 12% since 2010, with Pensacola as the county seat. Pensacola is also home to NAS Pensacola, the Navy's oldest air station, and to Pensacola International Airport, a few miles northeast of downtown. Scott built a number of his early homes in downtown Pensacola before moving his current work north to Pace, about 25 minutes away, and that history is part of why we still take on projects across Escambia County today.

Lots and land

Our current spec homes are in Pace, but we'll build on a lot you already own anywhere in Escambia County, from Cantonment and Ferry Pass to Ensley, Bellview, Myrtle Grove, and Gonzalez. Escambia County's permitting process differs from Santa Rosa County's in a few specific ways, and we handle that as a standard part of every build so it's factored into your estimate from the start. Contact Scott directly with an address or a parcel number to start that conversation.

Why buyers pick Escambia County

Buyers pick Escambia County for the job market around NAS Pensacola and the airport, and for neighborhoods that sit closer to downtown Pensacola than anything we currently build in Pace. Scott's own history building in downtown Pensacola means he knows these older neighborhoods and newer growth areas like Ferry Pass and Gonzalez firsthand, not just from a map. For buyers who want to stay inside the county rather than move out to Pace, that local knowledge is often the deciding factor.
