Navarre, FL, USA
Navarre
A growing coastal community offering a relaxed lifestyle, strong military presence, and convenient beach access.
Navarre sits in Santa Rosa County between Hurlburt Field and Pensacola, and it is genuinely closer to Hurlburt — about 55 minutes to the NAS Pensacola gate. That matters for more than the drive: if you report to Hurlburt, Eglin or Duke Field your housing allowance is FL056, which for 2026 pays an E-5 with dependents $2,433 a month against $1,863 in Pensacola's FL064.
You are probably on the higher allowance
About 55 minutes to the NAS Pensacola main gate, and considerably less to Hurlburt Field. Most families here report east rather than west.
Santa Rosa schools, lowest millage in the region
District-level Purple Star for 2024-2027, one of only five in Florida. Unincorporated Santa Rosa carries 11.3897 millage, below both Escambia options.
You are probably on the higher allowance
Hurlburt, Eglin and Duke Field are BAH area FL056, not Pensacola's FL064. For 2026 that is $2,433 a month for an E-5 with dependents against $1,863. Allowance follows the duty station, not the address.
Holley by the Sea
A 4,700-home community with its own amenities, and one of the largest single developments in the area. Worth knowing by name when you start searching.
