That's a great question and one I have answered on a previous comment here on this thread: This is from an article by the REALTOR association: "Neighborhood Crime Rates: Specifically, if you ask a real estate agent about neighborhood crime rates or even whether or not a particular neighborhood is a “good place to live,” they won’t be able to give you an answer. This is because information about crime rates or the opinions on the safety of a neighborhood can be interpreted as references to race or ethnicity, both of which are protected under the Fair Housing Act. Instead of providing you with direct information on a community’s crime rates, a real estate agent should refer you to the proper resources to find out these statistics for yourself." In a nutshell, by federal law I cannot give an opinion on crime rates in any given market as a real estate market professional as it would violate the Fair Housing Act. But I can offer you a resource on looking at some crime stats: www.niche.com/places-to-live/jacksonville-duval-fl/crime-safety/ But it's also important to keep in mind that looking at aggregate crime rates in a particular city doesn't always paint the right picture for home buyers. Because crime is often regionalized and highly depends on which areas of a city you are looking at. For example, if someone is looking at buying in Atlantic Beach, they should really be concerned with crime rates in that area in particular rather than Jacksonville as a whole. So let's say that buyer is an out of town buyer looking to purchase in Atlantic Beach and they just look at the crime stats of Duval county and end up deciding not to buy as a result. If the crime occurring was disproportionately from other more distant areas in Duval County then that buyer may be making a decision based off stats that do not directly affect them and their purchase. All major cities have crime and that is most certainly an important consideration with buying a home but what's even MORE important is the crime stats of the actual neighborhoods/areas you as a homebuyer plan to live in and shop and participate in as a consumer. We all know that every city has what we would call "good" and "bad" parts of town. I often get this question alot and at the end of the day I cannot provide a subjective opinion on it in particular due to law but the question I really would like people to ask is: "What are the crime stats of x or y neighborhood or surrounding neighborhoods?" This question would much more wholly paint a better picture for people. The crime rate for the North side is not the same as the crime rate for Springfield. The crime rate for the Westside is not the same as the crime rate for Ponte Vedra Beach etc.
I lived in Jacksonville it's too easy to go to jail there. The police nit pick and are always looking to lock you up over the pettiest offenses. They once took me to jail for drinking a beer outside. That don't happen in other big cities.
I'm sorry to hear that my friend! Luckily I haven't personally run into any issues with police ...yet. But I'm more of a home body so that's probably why. What city do you live in now?@@user-nu4um2gr3d
I'm 54 and my wife and I are VERY worried about our future, gas and food prices rising daily. We have had our savings dwindle with the cost of living into the stratosphere, and we are finding it impossible to replace them. We can get by, but can't seem to get ahead. My condolences to anyone retiring in this crisis, 30 years nonstop just for a crooked system to take all you worked for.

Probably mostly everyone is feeling it to some degree! I'm just thankful I dont live in states like California,New York, Colorado etc., pretty areas but not good on the wallet etc...
Florida has had among the highest rates of inflation. And with the weather affecting insurance prices, it's now much more expensive to live in Florida overall. If people keep moving here, it will only get worse.

Mr Agustin, thank you for a very informative video. I am already a Florida resident but have considered Jacksonville as a future place to live due to the high cost of living and heavy density of people in the southern part of the state. I am curious as to what percentage of people whom you deal with who come from within the state as opposed to out of state.
Great Question! If I had to put a percent on it as a total it would look something like 15%. But I would say that most people who reach out currently through youtube are out of state buyers at a much higher rate.
There are no taxis anywhere anymore except NYC where they've regulated rideshare. I would never expected all that many taxis in a place like Jax Beach anyway.
@@JacksonvilleFloridaLiving I get it because I made that mistake years ago. I was just in the area for the first time. I liked it and will be coming back. Housing market though, just not as good as a lot of cities in Florida. Good luck.

Good vid...but not sure where you heard realtors not being allowed to disclose crime. Literally every realtor video on TH-cam talks about crime lol. But yeah, as a former Native of Jax...before moving to the Great PNW, I gotta add some pros and cons for ya: Pros: cheap COL for a major city. Close access to other major cities in the South. Awesome BBQ, Seafood & Southern Food. Cons: Lack of seasons, no mountains, Rednecky/Hood vibes outside of Riverside/Beaches until you get to the Burbs. AND THE BUGS!!!!

Moved away from Jacksonville/Orange Park 14 years ago after living there my entire life and never really looked back. I live in a suburb of Philly now. It also has it's pros and cons: Pros: Always a sporting event going on. Top musical acts almost always stop here or Atlantic City.

Good, high paying jobs in roles that just don't exist in Jacksonville (at least when I lived there) Wawa came from here. :) Super busy Hub International Airport (it's ugly, but whatever). Authentic cheesesteaks Cons: Taxes. City wage tax if you live or work in Philadelphia. State taxes too (3%) High property taxes in the suburbs Crime is stupid high in the city now because of (next item) Progressive city leadership pretty much driving the city into the ground Liquor stores have limited selection and controlled by state No Sonny's, Bonos, or Woodys No fresh mayport shrimp New Jersey drivers (if you know, you know) Traffic sucks but I guess it's about the same down there now.
Hey brother, thanks for watching! I was born and raised in the Orange Park- Westside of Jax. Blanding Blvd traffic is probably even crazier since you lived here. Thanks for the comparison to Philly, it's great to get insight from a native living in another city. I heard Philly cheesesteaks are made with cheeze wiz??! We do have some great BBQ options here. Hahaha, can't be worst than Florida drivers.
@@JacksonvilleFloridaLiving I have not been back in a couple years.. I still have friends and family down there.. I lived in Bellair West growing up and lived in Lakeshore/Avondale for a long time before moving back to OP for a couple years, then up here. Been here for 15 years now. I can't believe Blanding traffic could get any worse. It was horrible when I left. I remember getting stuck in traffic on blanding when I left for the last time, I thought to myself "Jax won't let me go that easily". Traditionally, cheesesteaks should have whiz and either with or without fried onions, but american cheese is perfectly acceptable! There was a place called Philly Connection in the Argyle shopping center that made a decent cheesesteak when I was still living there, don't know about the quality now but it was as close as you could get to an authentic cheesesteak.

Realtors are not allowed to disclose crime rate information, so you need to ask your politicians why they decided on keeping people in the dark about their safety.
Why didn't you address the crime here on your list of cons?
