Is Jacksonville A Good Place To Live? | Pros and cons of living in Jacksonville Florida | 2022

[@Just-Lo-n8p]

I like the fact that you visited and researched other states and cities when you were thinking of relocating from Jacksonville. And decided to stay. I wish I would have done more research before I decided on Dallas. I’m glad I’m not a tree and can move 😂 Great content

[@drrealestatejax]

Thank you so much!

[@joshscraightup3649]

We chose killeen i go up to dallas often IM READY TO GO🥴🤣

[@TexasMadeAprilRenee]

YEAH, DALLAS IS GRIMY AF! I'M SORRY YOU HAD TO FIND OUT THE HARD WAY LUV.😢

[@bradjohnson3851]

Moving next monday with ny autistic twins from Alabama. Nervous, scared, also stoked

[@drrealestatejax]

Come on down!!

[@therealaustinpowers1967]

I agree, the public transportation in Jacksonville is horrible. It was horrible when I relied on public transportation and I heard the public transportation is worse now. And he is right when travelling to one of Jacksonville to another, it seems like it takes forever, so yeah put on some music, podcast, or something to distract you from how long it's going to take you.

Winter it gets cold a wet windy cold ! ❤️

[@rahkeembattiste5854]

True that goes down to 15 or 25 degrees crazy.

[@476233]

Yes, but it doesn’t stay cold for long.

[@AlyssaHopeByrd]

Bone chilling cold. I grew up in Jax, spent 10 years in NYC, and the cold in Jax is something else. iIt's that wet cold that hits so hard.

[@JustinJohn-j4r]

For how long though?

[@TheTrueno809]

For 3-4 months that’s nothing I’m from NY.

Jacksonville seems like a great place to move. The housing market is so phenomenal compared to anywhere over here on the West Coast.

[@drrealestatejax]

We have sooooo many customers that come from the west coast and say the same thing!

[@mmclaurin8035]

Almost anywhere in the nation is better than the west coast.

[@rahkeembattiste5854]

Prices getting to dam high to live

[@aymanezaitouni1493]

Hello, I really like your videos, well my wife and I decided to move to Jax, and hopefully it’s gonna be a beautiful period in our lives. Thank you sir for the smooth explanation.

I am so glad that I found comedy here. I was worried when I was moved to Jacksonville FL because I love comedy 😁

[@drrealestatejax]

Listen...I'm trying to tell people not to sleep on Jacksonville!

[@chocolatte8301]

What about school systems and crime? Those are my main concerns.

[@drrealestatejax]

Hey there Dee! As realtors, we can't get into crime information. In regards to the school systems, check out the videos we did on schools in Jacksonville. Thank you for watching!

[@deboraford1549]

I'm born and raised in Jacksonville. Plans to move back in 2024 I still go back home for shopping, activities and the friendliness of a people there is Wonderful. I moved to the Palm Coast area for work in 2014, after a 9 month short stay in Tampa, Fl, and other personal & work related reasons, But definitely continue to go back home to Jacksonville at least 2 to 3 times a month, got lot of family and friends there. It's a wonderful place ❤❤❤ PS! I lived in Tampa, Florida Due to job related reasons for 9 months and I hurried and got the h*** up OUT OF THERE! It's a horrible place to live in TAMPA, and the people Are Not friendly at all. Nasty with Attitudes! I wouldn't go back to Tampa, It's like a spirit of arrogance and Discombobulation Hovers over that whole entire Tampa Florida area. Stay away from Tampa. Jacksonville Has a lot of family traditions and love. The activities the best! weather and of grand amount of things to do fun wise activities? I can't wait? To. Get back?❤❤❤❤😀

[@drrealestatejax]

😂 Sorry to hear about your experience in Tampa! Come on back on!!!

[@Linda333Smith]

Those storms... Kept my car clean for months 😅

[@drrealestatejax]

LOL!

[@garymilstead4199]

My biggest complaint is the traffic. It’s only going to get worse as more people move to Jax.

[@rahkeembattiste5854]

It’s sucks plus they don’t no how to drive. They love tailgating u out there and cutting u off

[@thejmc4074]

People talking about rent and housing costs increasing like that isn’t happening everywhere. It’s going to cost, that’s just reality. It isn’t optimal, but If you like a place enough, is it not worth it?

[@drrealestatejax]

You 're absolutely correct!

[@rahkeembattiste5854]

It’s getting worse in Jacksonville

[@tonyamartinez6488]

Yep the public bus is horrible here and there are lots of bugs here. Definitely need pest control here

[@drrealestatejax]

I tell my customer to make sure they budget in pest control. LOL

[@rahkeembattiste5854]

A lot poisonous spiders, snakes, gators

[@qbnmusica]

Love this !!! Great video too!! Great audio n video! Thank you!!! How about you mention your favorite neighborhoods! 😅 I’m looking at some real estate soon! I hate what Cali has become, and my family is in Florida!

Seriously ready to make my move to Jacksonville with my partner. Hate that she can't take the bugs, but we'll finesse it for a more comfortable stay.

[@drrealestatejax]

Listen, just make sure you have pest control on speed dial. LOL!

[@rahkeembattiste5854]

Just watch with the brown recluse spider it’s all over Jacksonville Florida very poisonous

[@garymilstead4199]

Pest control and stay indoors.

[@hallejuahhour3348]

I was good until you said Transportation a family may have one car need to go the same time to another location. No trains or subway then you stranded or stuck. The Pest Lizards and bugs no negotiation on this one. I'm out! It was good for you sharing. People who have the stamina and tough mindset like you will adjust.

[@drrealestatejax]

Lizards and bugs.... I get it! LOL

[@TianaShanteWashington]

I'm going to reach out to you Monday

[@drrealestatejax]

We look forward to speaking with you!

How is Jax for a newcomer, just looking for something cheap to rent at south Jax, like Ortega´s .?

[@drrealestatejax]

Hey there Pablo! Jacksonville is a great place for newcomers! There is so much to explore, job opportunities are great! The Southside of Jax is a great location for young professionals. Ortega is nice, there are more single homes. I can't comment too much on the rental market in that area.

[@jamesberry7827]

All that is cool, what's the nightlife scene and where are the girls? lol

[@drrealestatejax]

The night life is what you make of it! LOL

Bwahaha... I love this guy.

Thank you so much Joey!

[@SheLeftMeUnsupervised]

Roaches large enough and brazen enough to pick you up and kick you out of your own house. Then they will eat your sandwich. I miss home. Just can't find a job down there that pays enough to survive on. Rent and houses are out of control!

[@limitlesspotential9599]

Headed there from old NJ. Going to shake Jackson up first with building supplies. I will contact you shortly All the best, Another great video!!

[@drrealestatejax]

Sounds good! We would love to work with you!

[@Sirach144]

We are full. No more New Jersey tags.

[@Linda333Smith]

LOL... I use Ortho Home Defense ... It has saved me the shock and awe of the bug generation!

I've used that too. It worked pretty good.

I’m a single mom looking to move in August I need a 3 bedroom… how is the housing? Are there any new constructions? I am a renter hoping to establish homeownership at some point.

3 bedroom maybe $3,000

I understand! Thank you for watching!

[@Sirach144]

Florida is full.

Born and raised in Jax, plans to movie back in 2024. In the Palm Coast Florida area due to a job, but I miss Jax. There is always something to do day & night. The people are friendly, and I hope back to visit 2 to 3 times per month. Shopping is AWESOME!❤

[@jamiemason943]

Great video! So informative and thorough. I’m moving to Jacksonville from Sacramento within 6-8 mths. to be near my only grandchild whose 5 yrs old. Talk about excited but scared.

[@Sirach144]

@@jamiemason943 housing is stable here so you should be able to find something. But if you’re looking for an apartment, that is close to everything I would recommend 54 Magnolia. It was an amazing apartment until I bought some thing.
