Five Reasons To Move To Jacksonville, Florida

[@tryjesus2101]

I love Jacksonville, Florida❤ I have lived here for 5 years and Jacksonville keeps getting better and better. After living in multiple areas in Jax I have figured it out. Like most large cities there are good areas and bad areas. Jax is a huge massive city land wise. I would say 40% of Jax is low income high, crime, and neglected "Bad" areas. These are near downtown on the Westside, Downtown on the eastside north of stadium, alot of east arlington, near St Nicholas... These areas are lower income or economically disadvantaged. Generally speaking the majority of the entire west side of jacksonville is lower income or lower middle class. Where is the best places to live then? If your family is making near or over 6 figures you would enjoy buying in a middle to upper middle class area you should consider Bartram, Communities in St Johns County, Mandarin, The Beaches Jax Beach, Neptune Beach, Atlantic Beach, Ponte vedra Beach, Generally anything East of 295 beltway toward the beach.

Moved to JAX 9 months ago from Kansas City and we love it!

[@NateRiggsOfficial]

Love to hear that! Glad you're loving it.

How does it compare to KC? I live in KC now.

[@mrbeachbumphoto]

@@ethanmorris2760 There's no comparison. Florida is so beautiful and the amount of things to do and see is staggering. We live 40 minutes from the beach and being able to go down to the ocean whenever we feel like is incredible. There isn't much to KC lol. I lived there my entire life, so getting the opportunity to move to the sunshine state is an absolute blessing. I do miss KC BBQ, though.

Good to hear, born and raised in KC, been trying to break free from this place since birth. I hate it here. Literally joined the Navy to get out and landed back here cuz Cali to expensive. 😒 soon Jax…Soon😂

[@NateRiggsOfficial]

Overpriced low cap rate high crime low income renters

[@emiliaessentials]

What are the safe good places in the city to live in Jacksonville that are family-friendly??

[@NateRiggsOfficial]

There are several great areas - the city is so big, covers so much space, that it really depends on the family where they want to settle down!

Jacksonville the best city in the world 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@AngolanAmerican]

Selling well

[@Funtimes900]

Is it still worth moving to Jacksonville in 2024?

[@NateRiggsOfficial]

Absolutely! These reasons still stand with us along with so many others.

[@lindawalker2485]

32% damn

[@justynjonn]

" LITTERED with waterways?" cheap flights to Haiti?! Enticing.

[@NateRiggsOfficial]

And at a price point much lower than Tampa or Miami

[@AngolanAmerican]

Love drive to Orlando okay...lie to me I did that road trip there is nothing to love about full of tolls

[@NateRiggsOfficial]

The greatest thing about Florida is that there is no state income tax - meaning I keep more of the money I work for in my pockets. If I live in Jax and never drive to Orlando, I don't pay for Orlando's roads with my money. If I decide to drive there it's a "use it, pay for it" system. Us locals love that fact! Also, I-95 and I-4 have zero tolls - you don't have to take a toll road to get to Orlando.

i checked out this city last weekend, real interesting chill place with beautiful white sandy b***ches

[@MindOFAvery]

I want to move rocky Jacksonville, but what about the crime ? I’m scared from all of the comments I’ve seen .

[@NateRiggsOfficial]

Crime? No way, Jax is a great city. Keep in mind there are always going to be haters in the comments. Jacksonville is America's largest city by land mass, it encompasses all of Duval county - there are tons of great locations inside our amazing city. A place that is right for everyone.

[@deirdrekiely6187]

@@NateRiggsOfficial America's largest city?? Wow, did not know that. How is public transportation? I heard Brightline might extend their service up to Jacksonville in the future. Is that true??

[@deveen750]

Hey Avery, I want to move there also but I’m so afraid of the crime!

[@Pun81007]

Stay out of certain neighborhoods the crime is high. Beware when your realtor says this is a good pocket. A lot of this city has social issues. I been here a year and a half, I can’t wait to get out of here. Not a lot to do the amount of house you get for your buck isn’t worth it. Tampa is a way better option, higher cost of living. More diverse setting much more to do.

[@MindOFAvery]

@@Pun81007 thank you ! I’m also looking into Tampa !

All lies!!!
