| Welcome to Mirabelle! The Mirabelle subdivision is a community of 190 single family patio homes in northeast Pensacola close to Escambia Bay in Escambia County, Florida. It's a diverse community where people of different races, nationalities and religions (even no religion) come together to form a real neighborhood. It's a place where people not only say "Hi" when they see one another, it's a place where you'll find yourself stopping to chat. Mirabelle is a quiet* and safe neighborhood --- where children can play in the street and people can walk day or night. Mirabelle has people of all ages, singles and families. Because these are patio homes with an average lot of only 0.12 acres, there is a high proportion of seniors. One of the nice aspects of life in Mirabelle is the 1.19 acre private park with picnic tables at the main entrance exclusively for Mirabelle residents. Many of the neighborhood functions are held in the park. |

 *Mirabelle and AirfieldsMirabelle is quiet in the neighborhood, not in the skies. For anyone considering Mirabelle, it's important to know that, like much of Pensacola, Mirabelle is on an airport flight path, the Pensacola International Airport (formerly the Pensacola Gulf Coast Regional Airport and renamed to "International" in 2011 even though the only way you'll get an international flight is if you have your own private plane). Mirabelle is on its landing path. Pensacola has five airfields. Much of east Pensacola is on the flight path of the commercial airport. West Pensacola has four airfields. There are two small general aviation airfields: Ferguson Airport 82J and Coastal Airport 83J. The loudest flights are military with two military airfields: Naval Air Station Pensacola and Naval Outlying Field Saufley Field. Naval Air Station Whiting Field is outside the nearby town of Milton and has many outlying airfields throughout the vicinity. Pensacola, the "Cradle of Naval Aviation," is used to train military aviators, so flights among the airfields are common. If avoiding airplane noise is a priority, northwest Pensacola is the best bet. Airplane noise varies greatly --- moving a couple of blocks in one direction or the other can make a big difference. If it's important, then be sure to ask in the neighborhood about the level of plane noise. (Do not depend upon a realtor or rental agent.)
