I agree, Pensacola isn't the prettiest, but it is pretty for historic towns and for seeing water everywhere you look. I wouldn't live in Pensacola though. The school systems are not as good and it does look run down if you veer outside of the historic districts/downtown.
We live in Gulf Breeze which is a nice little town with excellent schools and, again, water everywhere. It is beautiful. There are two nice parks for the kids and the zoo is only 10 minutes away.
