North Hill Historic Homes Tour of Pensacola

Overview

North Hill was Pensacola's first up-scale neighborhood, and is such a magnificent place that the entire neighborhood is on the National Historic Register. While most of its homes date from 1895-1940, the neighborhood continued to be developed into the 21st century. As a result, it is the most architecturally diverse in the city. Most of the homes are over 3,500 square feet and have three stories. Veteran realtor, Barbara Odom Westholm, who has worked in the industry for over 30 years, showcases many of the noteworthy homes. She gives far more information than how many bedrooms and baths. She immerses you in the history, showing photos of how things have evolved. She also has interviewed scores of residents, who add fascinating human interest points. At the tour's conclusion, you will get to walk inside one of these North Hill homes and see why this neighborhood is so unique.

We had family in town and were trying to find things to do while "social distancing" This was the perfect answer. Fabulous tour! We have lived in the area over 20 years and learned history of Pensacola that we did not know. Our tour guide, Leroy was so much fun. We will definitely be back to do another tour.

We really enjoyed seeing parts of Pensacola that we wouldn't have seen otherwise. The vehicle was very comfortable and our guide Leroy was very friendly and knowledgeable of the area.

Took tour on January 6th with 3 other family members. The tour was informative and the houses were nice to see. The video you watch while on the bus gave interesting facts about the homes. At the end of the tour you get to go in one of the homes it is owned by the owner of Go Retro. It was a bonus to get to go inside one of the homes but we were not allowed upstairs. It was a little odd since a family currently lives in the house but the owner was gracious and answered our questions. The bus has some sort of water leak so one of us had to move seats, the driver was apologetic. It would have been nice to have the bus warmed up when we got on as it was very cold. The driver was accommodating for taking pictures and gave us information about other sites to see in the area.
