About BAYOU CHICO BASIN
Bayou Chico Basin sits along the shores of Bayou Chico in Warrington, an unincorporated community in Escambia County just south of NAS Pensacola. The neighborhood blends modest single-family homes with waterfront and near-waterfront lots, many offering direct or short-hop access to the bayou for boating and fishing. Bayou Chico itself connects to Pensacola Bay, making it a working waterway with marinas, boat repair yards, and seafood houses mixed among residential streets. Homes here tend to be older, single-story properties typical of mid-20th-century Warrington development, appealing to buyers who want water access without resort pricing. Its location puts residents close to Corry Station and NAS Pensacola, making it a popular choice for military families and civilian contractors. Neighboring communities like Navy Point and Navy Nook share this same Navy-adjacent, waterfront character.
