Don't move here we don't want anymore people here ! Sharks, Hurricanes , Mean Bad locals mess you up !

Are any snakes in the parks and something like crocodiles and something like this 😮😮?!???

I've heard houses in Jacksonville are cheaper than Orlando?

Swampville is ga not fl 😂

The drive times given are optimistic at best for an aggressive driver. Growth far exceeds what road work has been able to keep up with, especially since the 2020 "incident" that prompted mass migration from the Northeast and West Coasters. And some areas flat refuse to improve due to a heavy NIMBY mindset. (Looking at you Fernandina)

400$ a week in Long Island with 2 kids.

I bet it’s still a bargain , compared to Long Island.

Thank you. Very informative. I live in South East Florida. Thinking moving up north.

Lots of changes in Jax since some of these people have been here. But one thing forsure. You must love the humid hot weather in summer or you will be miserable. 😊

This lady is lying. The schools are worst. Very little entertainment in form of shows, concerts compared to other big cities. No downtown to shop, hangout bc of homeless occupation of prime waterfront.

Great video but no one from those outside areas are saying they are from Jacksonville.

DUUUUUVAL!

Jacksonville is certainly not a horrible city, but it is lacking compared to other large cities. We do have parks, but compared to other cities, the parks are somewhat lacking in terms of size, walkable paths, and bike paths. Florida in general is lacking in a variety of trees, bushes, and plants compared to other areas of the U.S. when it comes to our forests. Expect a lot of pine trees and oak trees. Large cities usually have bad traffic problems and Jacksonville is no exception, but compared to other large cities, it is probably not nearly as bad yet. There are still large parts of the day you can drive and it not feel like rush hour. In terms of schools, it sort of depends on where you live to how nice the school will be.

Planning to be in Florida at the end of November, and I'll be looking for a home in Jacksonville area.

Duvall is now Thugville!

I live in Jacksonville Florida I'm nine I've lived here since I was born here and I love it but I like Willdwood New Jersey better because my favorite cousin lives there so I like it better but I do have a cousin an older cousin here but the one In New Jersey is younger.

show us CONDO. or home

Can you tell me which place is ok to live on?

Thanks again

Y make me to move in jack

That’s great

Seriously?? Those are the cons?? What a joke. What about crime? Demographics?

I'm from CT. I've been in Jax for 7 years now. I honestly don't like it here. It's kinda backwards, lower income, less educated and the summers are awful. High obesity rates. Winter is chilly. The downtown is depressing. And the deforestation and rampant building of cheap luxury apartments is disgusting. Most schools are not good. There are too many bad neighborhoods. There are plenty of worse places to live of course.

As far as schools go the video was slightly misleading. While it’s true that St. Johns, Nassau and Clay Counties do have good public schools, Jacksonville itself DOES NOT!!! Jacksonville is not in St. Johns, Nassau or Clay Counties. Jacksonville is located in Duval County which has some of the worst public schools in the entire State.

As a native there is a lot of truth to what she says. She mentioned the schools but did not include Duval County which is the biggest county. Public schools are rough here. Traffic is not bad here compared to other big cities and pretty much only during rush hour. It is a great sports town where you can find a team and a sport and places to practice and play. I love it here. The cons….i can’t say here.

First of all I'm not trying to be rude I'm just going to stay a cold hard fact, you don't deserve the right to review Jacksonville when only being here from 2011😂 I am 3rd generation Jacksonville Duval County. My kids and grandkids are now 4th and 5th generation. I know the families from here search is The Hodges, the skinners my entire life. These are the people you should go to if you want to learn some history, now with that being said the biggest Con in Jacksonville is Shahid - CON , coming in second place with her legs spread open in the back of the news van our new mayor Donna Deegan, if she will cheat on her husband with a drunk newsman in the back of a news van what could she honestly be doing right for our city?🏆 you want to do a history video on Jacksonville, do one on our mayor Donna Deegan see what you dig up😂

Who paid this lady to lie? Ma’am I respectfully disagree.

Jacksonville is like a Monet; looks good from a distance, but up close it is just a bunch of smeared dots.

You forgot Insurance. Car and Property are very high. If you have an older home you are out of luck since no one will insure an older home.

In Jacksonville I never water my lawn and it always grows. In summer it grows even faster. groceries is about $400 per person with some dining out but no actual restaurants. Then gas about $120 with a car not an SUV. Utilities water/electric/sewage is about $250 in summer which is really good for a house. Also add housing which varies greatly. very affordable

You do not want to live in Duval County. Pick an adjacent county and commute.

Jacksonville = no pros, a million cons.

Cons. … just 3 ? That’s it ? How about crime ? One of the worst in the state ? Particularly getting worse by the beach (two beach shootings in the last few months). Also, never ending construction? The I95 and the I10 areas closer to downtown have been in construction mode since the 1990’s. Lack of indoor activities, homelessness in downtown, etc Plenty of cons

Although they call it an international airport, flights from Jacksonville are not direct to cities outside of the US. That's a big negative for anyone who likes to travel. And these indirect flights are crazy expensive!

2/3 what you can make elsewhere not 1/3. Plus benefits are not great which sadly is happening everywhere.

The humidity in summer is overwhelming, the beach area is not really developed, there really is no "downtown" shopping and entertainment area so no concentration of great restaurants, bars, clubs or shopping, like Florida and the rest of the south, pay is about 1/3 of what you can earn elsewhere so although it there are lots of jobs you are hard pressed to find a good wage. Jacksonville really is just a conglomeration of small towns grouped together to make a big city.

2:09 I believe it should be intracoastal waterway, not intercoastal.

Went last week the traffic is horrible and rain all day in the afternoon. The beach is amazing.

Jax is a fucking shit hole, theres pockets of hoods all over the place. You WILL be a victim of robberies and violent crime.

Jax is the most ratchet city in Florida.

I'm going to guess that you are a Pisces.

Nassau County is not considered Jacksonville. She doesn't mention Duval County Schools which is the County Jacksonville is In! Why? Because the school system in Jacksonville Sucks. The Airport is nice but it's not centrally located, it's on the most North End of town. Downtown Jacksonville is terrible and there's nothing going on there, except empty buildings and crime. The Beach is ok but the water is not clear, Destin beaches are way nicer than Jacksonville Beaches. So disappointing that the Jacksonville Beach area is full of thugs at night. Not sure where all these parks she referring to are. But the traffic is not bad at all. The weather is not as bad as she described, except its cold at times in the winter. She also fails to mention the crime, which is one of the worst in the State, mainly due to our population demographics. Jacksonville has been the murder capital of Florida for many years, not sure if we still own that title. I seen similar videos of other cities, now I know not to believe them...

Jacksonville is boring as hell.

I'm from Pennsylvania too. People saying Jacksonville water is dirty has never been to Ocean City Maryland. Jacksonville seems like paradise to me.

Thank you for this video ❤

I love Jax some other pluses: 1) you’re 5 hours from Charleston, 5 hours to Tampa, 5 hours to atlanta, 5 hours to Miami 2) the natural beauty is stunning … drive over the jtb bridge over the icw and gawk at the amazing vista of the estuary or take a jet ski or small boat to the gtm preserve. There are 7 bridges you can cross and how can the water below you not put a smile on your face 3) it’s still reasonably affordable in comparison to south east florida 4) it’s growing like crazy (now the 10 most populous city in the US) and with it the amenities, restaurants, recreational activities are blowing up 5) health care is world class …. Go to the Mayo Clinic and see how they treat you and what they’re able to do

No. I deserve better.

Jacksonville Beach is nice, but Jacksonville is possibly the most boring city on the east coast. It's very spread out. There is no there, there.

Water in the jacksonvile is so dirty, very dirty
