Make sure you locate to a nicer neighborhood in Jacksonvile. The beach area is a great place., but Jacksonville has alot of crime. In Florida it is one of, or is the highest in crime. May I suggest a small town just north of Jacksonville that you should check out. It is called Amellia Island. Many people live there and make the small compute into Jacksonville for work. The island which is actuslly a penninsula is so quaint and nice that Ritz Carlton has built there. Also, from there you can take a ferry with your car over to Jacksonville which is a very short trip. If you do move into Jacksonville please take the time to visit Amellia Island, You will not be dissapointed. Linda from Fla.

I was in Jacksonville only once and thought it was ugly.

I love Jacksonville a great deal... it is a beautiful city with a lot to do. Research the area you are moving to as there are some areas that are not all that great. Also look into the schools in the area you are moving as some are good and some are bad. I personally would avoid living on the southside of town as the traffic is horrible, horrible, horrible. The Atlatic Blvd. area near Kernan is a nice area as are the beaches. As for Amelia Island, yes it is beautiful and very quaint... however, unless you are loaded financially, it won't be an option. Good luck and I hope you enjoy living in Jax!
