    Ferry Pass is very family friendly. There are many great schools in the area including Ferry Pass Elementary and Ferry Pass Middle. Ferry Pass is also very close to many popular spots in Pensacola, Fl. It is only 10-15 minutes from the mall, movies, bowling alley, and many other fun places in between. It is also only 20 minutes from the beach.

    Pensacola is such a small city with very little to do. In my opinion, Pensacola is considered a place for retirement people. The city is very calm and relaxing which limits the amount of things a child or teenager could do. My overall experience her has not been that exciting yet I did have so interesting experiences. Living in Pensacola could sometimes ruin a teenage life seeing that you have already done majority of the things offered around the city. I would not recommend Pensacola to a young family, however I will recommend it to a retired family.
    This area is a beautiful area to have a family. Stores and restaurants are conviently close but not too close that the area is busy. I live next to a busy street but the neighborhood is peaceful and the nature is beautiful. They are about to build another building next to the Penn Air bank. Currently, this location is a nice field with beautiful, thick trees. I would much rather keep this field, where me and my sisters would explore and people would sit and read or walk pets, than have another building placed to close to my home.
