My wife and I are considering moving to Jacksonville Fl. We will be visiting in July to check out the city. Where are the high crime areas that we should avoid? Where are the ghetto areas?

1. Northside (The Ghetto)- The areas just north of downtown, pass the Trout River is pretty safe......areas called Springfield, Norwood, Golfair, Moncrief, Brentwood, and basically all streets that are numbered (except the triple digits)
2. Various areas of the Westside- Intersections of San Juan and Jammes.....also areas along beaver st. and areas on stockton streets.
3. Arlington, Southside, Mandarin- These areas are the best of town and predominantly white, though traffic is crap.

first of all where are you from? and consider everything ,research before you move here! i live in the southside area let me tell you ,jacksonville is a city that needs an educational,moral,and cultural makeover, i can't say all the people are knuckleheads but picture n.y.c with a southern mentality ,and you get jacksonville,not much to do here, once you done the beach, fishing ,camping, clubbin, thats it!!!! people here are so bored they go to the 1 of many 24 hr wal-marts , high crime #1 in the nation, #1 in aids,jacksonville is the murder capital, check it out . i made a mistake leaving chicago 2 1/2 years ,oh yeah jobs don't pay well here ,and since its the right to work state they can fire u for any reason, except sexual,racial,or religion, oh yeah alot of sex offenders here 2,anyways by visiting here u won't get the effect of living here, which is trust me, regret!!!! anyways if you still wanna move here i'll sell u my house!!!!!! its the only thing i love about jville,fl,, oh yeah downtown jville is not safe at nite, just go to the landing do what u gotta do and watch your surroundings,ghetto areas are all over ! be good and let me know if you wanna move here

The whole town is bad, if not for the people the police will rob you for speeding 5mph over the speed limit. A really nice place is about 30 miles north called Kingsland GA
