    "It’s pretty safe but there are bears somewhat frequently. Be mindful of Hurlburt Air Force Base traffic it’s usually around and before 5pm when it gets bad. "

    "No public transport. But busy when the military base & one elementary school lets out. Traffic is busy approximately 3 to 6 pm. 4 lane highway with some traffic lights causing delays at prime pm time. Otherwise great & fast commute. "

    "Traffic across the base can get backed up both in the mornings and evenings. As long as you allow yourself plenty of time you will be just fine. "

    "A lot of people are out walking their dogs. We have one small dog and our only issue is that our fence backs up to our neighbors on both sides. One neighbor two large dogs and they have busted through our fence a couple of times. We just worry about our little dog’s safety in that one instance. In general, it is a very dog friendly area."

    "Research all the area prices vary greatly. The father into Navarre the bigger and cheaper you can find homes near very good schools. There aren’t many groups to meet new people but neighbors are friendly "

    "It’s an okay place to live but there is not a togetherness about the community there are many things that could be done differently one being adding more garbage cans closer to all apartments along with the mailboxes "

    "Mary Esther is a very calm, very nice town. Most of the people in our neighborhood know and look out for each other. Children are safe to play outside, noise is minimum. It’s close to base, so you will hear them practicing at night; but you really don’t hear or mind it at all. "

    "it seem to be friendly, quiet, and clean. Close enough to the mall, eating places, convenience stores and gas but far enough off the beaten path to be very quiet most times. "

    "I lived in the area from 1974 to 2010, in the beginning it was a small amount of people mostly mobile homes with livestock in yards, dirt roads, in the 80's houses began to be built around, roads paved in the 90's, more people buying into the area, changes took place on having livestock, rezoning started, crime rate picked up with groups of teens living in area, cars are broken into, houses, cars racing up and down paved streets [speed bumps needed badly] late 90-2000's crowed in with more and more houses, due to the teen gangs I moved away, Bear problem picked up from a joining military range. The area is set to far from town and the traffic on 98 is horrible in mornings and afternoons, hard to get anywhere."
