Lived in Jax for 23 years and moved 2 years ago. Jacksonville, the murder capital of Fl, crime is out of control, public schools are literally falling apart, lots of litter everywhere, traffic is terrible, lots of homeless people, etc. The city has rapidly gone downhill despite numerous tax increases!

I grew up in Jacksonville and lived there from 2001 to 2016 then 2019 to 2022. The place is not how it used to be and a lot of people I know are trying to leave. It’s getting too crowded and the taxes are getting higher. The cost of living went up my aunt house went from $390 to $1000 and the city already started to take some of her yard a way. For years she had the biggest yard and now her yard is smaller.

Jax Native here: I left Jax in 2007 then moved to Orlando and then up to Seattle. Can’t speak for everyone, but I left Jax for several reasons. 1. The heat. Hated it since birth. There’s a saying, you can always bundle up to get warm, but you can be butt naked and still be burning hot. The humidity makes it worse too. On the West Coast, the heat just doesn’t get that humid, and in WA it barely gets above 80 degrees in the summer except for like a “3 day dry heat Heatwave” in August. Seasons aren’t bad either. That 1st color change in leaves or that 1st snowflake of winter is something special and bummed I didn’t experience that growing up in FL. 2. The jobs. Jax pay is so low and the diversity of jobs is meh. Logistics, Banking, Navy, Healthcare…that’s it. If you’re not in one of these industries you’re SOL. And if you’re in retail or hospitality? You better have at least 2 jobs to just be able to rent. Mortgage? Forget about it. 3. Lack of Things to do. If you’re coming from a place like upstate NY or Michigan or rural GA or Kansas and you want beach culture then you’ll find Jax to be great. But if you’re coming one of the big Northeast cities or from the outdoorsy/urban Westcoast cities where mountains and ocean and city are within an hour or two from each other, Jax can seem dull. Unless you live at the beach, you’re not going to the beach every day. Jags games are cool, and so are the Jumbo Shrimp & Giants games but it’s not a true major sports town like Atlanta or NYC or Seattle or LA etc. There’s monthly events & Riverside has the Arts Market but overall I suggest Orlando, Tampa or Miami for endless things to do in FL. 4. Violent Crime. Jax is the Murder Capital of FL. Turn on the local news and you’ll see who gets shot every night. Property Theft ain’t low either. There’s not a single major city on the Westcoast that has violent crime as high as Jax. Something to think about if you’re moving to avoid higher cost of living. Yes, a good suburb or gated community can shield you from the realities of trigger happy Duval, but it still sucks how you can’t access every area of the city you live in. 5. Southern Fakeness. The “Southern Hospitality charm” seems friendly & welcoming on the surface but it’s really superficial if you take it a step further. It’s just an excuse for locals to be in your business & be nosy, not an actual attempt at wanting to be your real friend. And that southern hospitality is only extended to people who are perceived to be friendly looking. Definitely expect behind your back words once you leave an area if you don’t pass the “vibe check”. That’s why I like the bluntness of the Northeast: tell me straight up how you feel or keep it moving. Or just do as they do on the Westcoast & say nothing at all unless you really need something. No one got time for small talk. 6. Jacksonville is in the Bible Belt. So that means liquor stores and churches on every corner. But if you want a mosque or synagogue or Temple outside of Mandarin then good luck. And don't mention you're agnostic or atheist people outside of Riverside will look at you weird. Oh & weed is illegal in FL & pretty much most of the South minus Virginia. So find your open minded purple neighborhoods in a sea of red. 7. Public Transit. Unless you live in Downtown Miami…that don’t exist in FL. 8. In WA you may encounter some fruit flies or spiders in the summer…but thats it. FL has every bug on the planet that bites, sucks & scratches you year round. Overall, move to Jacksonville at your own risk. I got out, liked my decision, but I'm biased. Who knows you might like it, try it in the summer if you do take that plunge.

Thanks for the neat video. I live in Traverse City, Michigan and am considering moving here. I'd like to be in a bigger city and take up surfing. It seems more affordable than some places with a lot to offer. When I was looking at rents it seems like there's a lot of options in the 900-1200 range for 2 bedrooms. Do you agree? Do you think it'll keep climbing and get out of control? Are snakes a big problem in regards to getting inside houses? I have bunnies. Also, I am a tattooed child-free 30-something...will I fit in? :)

I think you will love it here.. We have a very diverse population. The further away from the beach you move, the more affordable the rent. Snakes can be an issue if you are surrounded by a lot of green space or water/retention areas. Rents have stabilized over the last 12 months and we have more apartments being built. This will help create more competition for the rental market and bring prices down a little more.

Jacksonville isn't as nice as it used to be when the population was much lower but I don't it is as bad as places like Atlanta or Denver when it comes to traffic. While I am not as used to the heat and humidity as I used to be, the hot and humid months have their breaks, whether it be a breeze in the shade or a break from overcast in the afternoons. The trade off is a smile on my face wearing shorts and a tee shirt during winter as I think of our neighbors in brutally cold areas of our country.

I’ve had living in Weat Palm county for the last 9 years.. here is not a cheap place to live, the area is narrow if I think k about expanding my horizons in jobs.. making money.. So I’m between Orlando and Jacksonville.. Orlando, because opportunities of making money.. Jacksonville is a strategic place, that is connected to many other highways, so we can go in many directions.. The hurricanes seems to be more gentle in Jacksonville.. But, how about make money? How is the real State is going in Jacksonville.. Are there a big growing in population? I’m curious about

@@finaltouchautodetailingllc I loved this town raised my family there. The crime and gang activity is out of control. Did you know Jacksonville is the murder capital of FL. Traffic is a nightmare, streets are cover with litter, public schools are in shambles. Homeless are everywhere. Starbucks even closed periodically to make the homeless move else where. I lived in San Marco, one of the better parts of town, 3 streets away from the mayor in fact. Lots of panhandling at every intersection. There is a liquor store or smoke shop on every corner. When I dropped my daughter off at middle school and a passing car backfired, every kid hit the ground that was outside covering their head. In my opinion, Jacksonville has dedicated their money towards the Jaguar’s team while neglecting the city. Please do you research online with crime statistics in Jacksonville! I moved to a city an hour away and was amazed of the difference in the quality of life! If you walk on Jax beach at night you will be robbed or worse. Beautiful historic churches are being leveled for affordable housing! on Friday and Saturday nights you can hear the gunshots downtown, that’s why the city installed gun shot detection devices throughout the city!

Hubby and I visited Jax back in February and loved it! We live in Albuquerque, NM and can't wait to move. We are considering Jax because of the people and beaches. It was beautiful and the people were so super nice everywhere we went. We hate NM! Both of us have lived here our entire lives basically and for us, we sadly have experienced so much racism and horrible jobs. Its a beautiful state to visit or live if you are rich and dont need to make a living wage. Also if you are employed with the labs, you'll get good pay but basically its just poverty level. Bad schools. High crime per capita and the homelessness is starting to boom! When we say we've experienced racism, we are not native, Hispanic or Mexican. So, we get treated with disrespect for simply being "white". No matter how hard you ignore it, it gets frustrating to just 'fit in' no matter what. I know others may say its all perspective but our perspective has been bad experience after bad experience. Nepotism is huge in the employment here too. So yeah, visit NM but dont move here. Liberal rich love it here...that speaks for itself. 🤷‍♀️

Thanks for the comment and helping clarify. When we ask people about why they are moving to our area and they mention high property taxes, we don't normally see how expensive the home they are leaving is. What really helps our property taxes here is our homestead exemptions. This lowers the tax base by $50k or more. The other thing is that our taxes are normally based off the sales price x 85%. This gives the first "just valuation" that future taxes are based on vs just the straight purchase price.

No one's doing anything to help bring costs down for the residents, it's very sad. There's also a lot more fraud against residents going on here that there didn't use to be. The culture has changed alot. Do your research, create a cost analysis budget with what you're paying in your current city before you decide to move here to make sure it's going to be a good move for you.

I moved to Jacksonville three years ago from Chicago for work. Jacksonville had potential but it’s a complete dump of a place. Downtown Jacksonville has less life than Detroit.

Thank you for mentioning safety and lower wages, those are important points. My concern with Orlando is that its job market is mostly hospitals, schools and hospitality industry, which highly depend on tourists. I work in finance, so I was thinking of Tampa or Jacksonville, as businesses have been moving to these 2 cities recently.

Thanks so much for the comment. We try to be transparent about the good and the bad of living here. Many people start their search in Jacksonville and end up in the surrounding areas like St Augustine, Orange Park/Fleming Island, or a little further south like Palm Coast. The greater Jacksonville area does have a great big/small town feel. We are not congested like the Tampa Area.. If you need some more guidance, give us a Call/Text: 904.637.7537.

Nice.. Correct. The people that are leaving Jacksonville are staying in the area and moving to St Johns County. The other folks moving are the military who are changing duty stations.

Our pay is lower than the bigger cities in FL.. Our overall cost of living is lower, but with inflation over the last 4 years, it does not feel that way...

We moved from Rochester NY mainly due to crime and bail reform. There's multiple other reasons like housing and corrupt landlords but unfortunately a lot of the same down here. I can definitely say Jacksonville is a much better community then Rochester I'd also rather have a republican conservative governor who also focuses governing on protecting our youth. Governor Desantis isn't perfect nobody is but he's done a fine job governing for the people of Florida.

Thanks for sharing why you moved. We have worked with many customers who have moved for the same reason.. Unfortunately, there is no perfect place to live, so we have to take the good with the bad. I have lived all but 2 years of my life in Florida. I have had many chances to move away, but this is home.. And I love the Jacksonville and St Augustine area. Not too big, not too small..

Sometimes the media will take a number and not give you any context to that number. We do have people moving, but most are staying in the local area. The majority of those moving are military, not people who don't like the area..

thanks for the honest feedback. I have done in office and in the field videos. To date, the office videos have had the most engagement from my audience, so I try to make more of what people are consuming. I will be doing more neighborhood tours this year but will continue to mix in the office videos.
