About LEEWARD (PHASE I)
Leeward Phase I sits in the rural north end of Escambia County, Florida, an area known for larger homesites, mature pines, and a slower pace than the coastal side of the county. Residents here are drawn to the space between neighbors, with many properties offering room for gardens, workshops, or livestock. The community lies within reach of Highway 97 and Highway 29, corridors that connect north Escambia to Pensacola to the south and Century and Flomaton, Alabama to the north. Nearby communities such as Barth, Bay Springs, and Barrineau Park share the same low-density, wooded character. Housing in Leeward Phase I typically includes site-built and manufactured homes on generous lots, appealing to buyers who want land without giving up a reasonable commute. Escambia County schools and services serve the area, while the rural setting keeps traffic light and lot sizes comfortable for families, hobby farmers, and retirees alike.
Living in LEEWARD (PHASE I)
Daily life in Leeward Phase I centers on space, quiet, and the outdoors. Blackwater River State Forest is a short drive away, offering canoeing, hiking, and camping for weekend regulars. Locals often run errands toward Molino, Century, or Cantonment, where grocery stores and small-town restaurants fill the gap between rural living and city convenience. Neighboring areas like Cottage Hill and Sand Cut share a similar back-road feel, with pastureland and pine stands lining the drive. Hunting, fishing on the Perdido and Blackwater Rivers, and simply enjoying a big backyard are part of the everyday rhythm here. It's a setting where neighbors know each other, porch lights double as street signs, and evening drives pass more cattle than cars.
