The area sits within easy reach of Highway 29, the main corridor connecting Century and Escambia County's rural north to Pensacola and Cantonment to the south. Neighboring communities like Barth, Bay Springs, Cottage Hill, and Barrineau Park share a similar country feel, with Gandyville, Happy Valley, and Sand Cut nearby as well.
