Best place to live in Jacksonville for young family?

Question

We will be a mid to late 20's family with one kid and one dog relocating from ft. benning, ga to jacksonville after I get out of the Army.Were both originally from Panama city, FL, . Wife is an accountant, I will be seeking employment with local law enforcement. Looking for a place that is relatively safe, good schools, house prices that match our jobs, a big backyard, the best possible place to raise a family. We'll be looking to buy.. Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

Various areas of the Westside are good. Southside, Beaches, Mandarin, are great areas with a relatively low crime rate compared to the ghetto. Though, I would warn that these areas have horrible traffic. This is the same as Orange Park. Arlington is minutes away from Downtown and is a nice area. Here, we have a school program, "Magnet Programs"....What this does is that your child can apply for up to 3 Magnet schools and be entered into a lottery. All magnet schools have special areas like Math/Science. Some schools offer I.B. More questions? Click on my profile or [e-mail]

Answer 2

sure I enjoyed it as quickly as I lived there!I twas so fantastically, and it is not some distance from the sea coast (a million or 2 hours driving) and it does not rain all day many times, it many times basically rains for an hour or so then it clears up and it is quite heat a super sort of the year, Orange Park is fairly a fantastically place to stay, various timber, the St John's river, and positively extreme high quality human beings!!!Orange Park is close to the Naval Air Station too...it very cool place 2 stay!

Answer 3

I love Southside, which refers to everything between the St. Johns River and the Intracoastal Waterway.
I found the best options here. Good luck!
