If you're looking for a place to rent in Pensacola, there's a good chance you’ve asked yourself the classic question: apartment or townhome? While both can offer convenience and comfort, Evolve Townhomes at The 52 brings something extra to the table: extra space, privacy, modern design, and all the little things that make daily life easier. Here’s how the Pensacola townhomes at The 52 Living compare to a typical apartment.

Is It Better to Rent an Apartment or a Townhouse in Pensacola?

One of the first things you’ll notice at Evolve Townhomes in Pensacola is how much room you have to work with. Our two, three, and four-bedroom homes for rent range from just over 1,000 square feet to nearly 1,600 square feet. These aren’t flat, one-level units either; our residences are multi-story, with two or even three levels that separate your living space from your bedrooms. That makes it easier to unwind, entertain, or get some quiet time without stepping on anyone’s toes.

You’ll also have your own front door with private street-level entry and dedicated parking right outside. No more winding apartment hallways or shared elevators. This is your space, from when you pull up to when you walk through your front door.

What Makes Living at Evolve Townhomes Better?

Evolve Townhomes aren’t just larger, they’re better equipped for everyday living. High ceilings and oversized windows give each home a bright, open feel. Our kitchens come standard with stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, subway tile backsplashes, and plenty of storage. Smart thermostats and smart locks are included in every home, as well as a full-size washer and dryer.

And yes, every Evolve Townhome has its own private, fenced backyard. Whether you’re enjoying the Florida sun, grilling dinner, or letting your dog run around, you have your own outdoor space, something most apartment renters simply don’t get.

Enjoy Apartment-Style Perks in a Spacious Townhome

Even though you’re getting the privacy and space of a townhome, you won’t miss out on the perks of upscale apartment living. As part of The 52 World, Evolve residents enjoy luxury-level amenities like a heated saltwater pool, 24-hour fitness center, parcel lockers, and even valet trash service. We’ve also added thoughtful touches like EV charging stations and outdoor grilling areas to make everyday life more convenient.

And if you have young children, you’ll love what’s coming soon: Montessori Kids Universe is opening a new school and daycare right inside the community, with early enrollment available for our 3 and 4 bedroom townhome residents. Contact The 52 Living for more information.
