I was born and raised in Jax and the only ones I know about on this list are the casa marina and 45th & Moncrief 😂 but I think it’s because I grew up near and around the beaches. I think it really depends on which side of Jacksonville when you ask “locals”. Jacksonville is so big that every area is like it’s own town. You’ll get different answers from mandarin residents than northside residents and especially Neptune beach all the way down to Ponte Vedra residents. But as a local, I will check out some of the places on this list

My correction I've only made it 7 miles one way on bike. The trail is actually 14.5 miles long one way. 😄

I lived in Jacksonville. Top thing to do is move. This city has too many issues with little or nothing to do. Keep driving until you hit Tampa. More diverse less crime racial tensions cleaner the people make more money so they actually open businesses other than bars and mediocre restaurants. Jacksonville has three nice areas. The beaches which isn’t Jacksonville technically. The south East side off the 295 and a little west of downtown. The city is rundown and overpriced. The big builders built too many cookie cutter homes. Stay away from anything around the airport. A lot of the new homes are built in swamps or flood zones so your insurance agent will love you. If you really are set to move to this dingy city. Rent for a year its cheaper and home values will be dropping just like the rents are.

Hey there! Really appreciate you sharing your take on Jacksonville. You're right, every city has its ups and downs, and it's super helpful to hear all sides. As someone who works in real estate here, I've met a lot of folks who are pretty happy calling Jacksonville home. We've got a cool mix of city vibes and natural spots - yes, our beaches are part of the charm here! The city's definitely on the up, with new spots and experiences popping up all the time. Sure, some areas are still catching up, but it's exciting to watch the growth and changes around town. Housing-wise, there's something for everyone, whether you're buying or renting. And if you're thinking of moving here, renting first is a smart move. It lets you get a real feel for the place. Plus, the property scene here is pretty dynamic - we're seeing more interest from locals and people relocating alike.

@@YashaWells don’t forget every local that doesn’t own a home hates you for moving there and raising their cost of living. It’s the people you cannot build enough fun things to do to change the mentality

Non of your list is local, it is a transplant list! If you stop the average person on the street and run this list by them, you will hear crickets!

What would you suggest be the top 5 places that Jacksonville Locals only know about? My list came straight from Jacksonville Residents. 🤷🏾♀️

@@YashaWells I would recommend you revisiting the list and ask people who are actually from Jacksonville or lived there for a very long time not transplants! You may not know, but the average person you meet isn't from Jacksonville. Ask about top barbeque joints, Hole in the wall restaurants... Visit the Tour of Homes (coming up during the holidays), visit the unique neighborhoods: Riverside, Avondale, San Marco, Ortega, Mandarin Road ... Take a ride through the neighborhoods of the North South, East and West sides of town to discover the true Jacksonville! Enjoy your time in Jax, I am gone but still emotionally connected!

yes it is local because all of Jacksonville is Duval county , so yes anybody that's actually a local resident would know this .
