Gated Heron's Forest SubdivisionPopular community right at the back gate of NAS Pensacola
Heron's Forest is a gated community located less than 1/2 mile from the back gate of Naval Air Station off Gulf Beach Hwy near the intersection of Blue Angel Pkwy. The proximity to the back gate, beautiful white sand beaches, and popular Perdido Kid's Park make this a favorite community, especially among military families.
Street Names in Heron's Forest Subdivision include the main road Rookery Road, as well as the cul-de-sac roads of Jaburu Lane, Limpkin Lane, Grallatoral Lane, Rail Circle, Tanger Circle, Lorikeet Lane and Bittern Drive.
Within 5-10 minute drive, there is adequate shopping including Target, Walmart, Winn-Dixie and Publix as well as access to Perdido Key Beaches and Big Lagoon State Park. Additionally, the popular Perdido Kids Park is less than a mile from this community. The Perdido Kids Park is a well maintained newer park, and is hands down the best park in the Pensacola area!
Community Features
Trout Point Nature Trail
Heron's Forest is surrounded on three sides by the US Navy Trout Point Watchable Wildlife Area which is part of NAS Pensacola. This area is largely wetlands and offers fabulous opportunities to spot wildlife in their natural habitat.
In addition to access from inside the gates of Naval Air Station Pensacola, there is access to the Trout Point Nature Trail from inside Heron's Forest Community. The trail entrance is off of Bittern Dr. and includes approximately 1 mile walk through the nature preserve to beautiful white sand beaches.

Warning: Your neighbors are loud!
Due to the proximity to the Naval Base, you can expect some noise from planes nearby. In fact, because Pensacola is home to the Navy Blue Angels, you may hear quite a bit of noise. During their season, the Blue Angels practice overhead every Tuesday & Wednesday morning right at 8:30am. It's part of the charm of this subdivision- unless you happen to work 3rd shift~ Don't say we didn't warn you!
Style of Homes in Heron's Forest Subdivision
One of the things I love about this community is that every house has its own personality. Many of the newer subdivisions are what we call cookie cutter subdivisions- each home varies slightly but overall design is the same. This is not the case in Heron's Forest! Take a look at a few of the different style homes in the community.
