Great video! Riverside is okay but there’s a lot of rental properties, apartments (cars everywhere) and it’s just too busy for my liking. We purchased a home in historic Murray Hill which is right next to Riverside and we got a lot more home for our money! We also have an amazing STEM elementary school within walking distance and shops/restaurants on Edgewood Ave South, love it!
When I was looking online for a property to buy in Jax, where I didn't know anyone, before I moved from Michigan in 2019, I only had one criterion in mind: my future home must be close to the beach, airport, and downtown at the same time. I found a condo in Southside that was 15 minutes to the beach, 25 minutes to the airport, and 15 minutes to downtown. All my basic needs are satisfied. I've been happy in Jax ever since.
@@kristiekzkannabis plenty of time to look and compare, and make a good choice. Also, talk to people in the particular neighborhood about pros and cons of that area
ETown is down the street from me, it's so new that I am afraid of the prices! Adrian, I will be calling you soon. My lease is up in June so I will be ready April 1st!
I moved here 8 months ago for a job promotion. I live in riverside and pay more for a basic apartment with an outdated kitchen (no dishwasher) than I did in Chicago. It’s wild. Also, you can go a mile in any direction and be in some really sketchy areas. The ghetto and blight are peppered all over Jacksonville. I’m going to make my money here and then get to south Florida hopefully.
ya the west side is the worst part of Jax. Literally some of the worst neighborhoods just north of Riverside, Even if it is nice im not living on that side personally
Iam moving from Sacramento California in a year. This time next year iam moving to Jacksonville. I used to live there in 2004 I have a best friend there and I will be staying with her. Until get a job and a place.
@@drrealestatejax Not yet... I'm waiting for my son to get out of school at the end of May. I'm going to fly down solo, and get a feel for the city before I move down officially.

@@harlowgreen6916 no! The cafes and bars close late at night and it's safe to walk through the neighborhoods. As many do, no matter the weather. Freezes two or three times a year for a duration of a short few hours.
Cool video, I found out we are living in your number one area which is nice to know. BTW-we do love it here but may move to the town I grew up in to be closer to rest of family.
I am interested in areas near Caribbean stores and supermarkets like Walmart’s. What is your suggestion for a retired 62 y/o.? Thank you for this video.🙏🏾
Hello. We are 55+ and will be moving from Atlanta (MidTown) to Jacksonville. We want a ranch style house with a lot of walkability. We are active and want activities close by.
@@drrealestatejax sir I was born and raised here if I had to deal with real cold I’d … well I couldn’t. Although I’ve been up north but that damp cold blowing off that St Johns seemed colder than up there . I don’t know. I’m weird. It’s cold out now here on the west. 103
Hey ! Could you do a video about best rental communities in Jackson ville? We were there over the weekend and looked at the “the exchange’ community but we were trying to find other similar ones
The best neighborhood is out by the airport. Find you a nice rural area with a decent house on it, preferably fenced in. Put you an electric gate opener so you can pull up, hit the button and pull in and close it. Anyways, better and cheaper to find a nice place out on the outskirts of the city where there's no crime and you don't have to worry about people breaking into or stealing your shit as much. That and you can do what you want and not have to worry about neighbors calling the cops or just being nosey all the time. I mean, if you want walk out your back door in your boxers and house shoes and bust off a few rounds to start your day you should be able to do that. But yeah, it'd be nice to buy a the next piece of land behind you too and dig out and pond and stock it with bass and dig out a dirt bike/4 wheeler track going around the property. Out in the county you can have a little burn barrel so you can have people over for dinner and have drinks out by the fire. It's worth the little bit of extra gas. Not even an issue really if you can find a place you can jump on 9A or 295.
Is oakleaf the same as orange park? I love orange park, argyle forest as well is very nice. Westside is the best side. Looking to buy a home in the next six months to a year. We had a seller just back out on us so we want to use a realtor next time.
