Hey KC, Jax has become a real HOLE, it is the murder capital of the South and crime is rampant in all of Duval county. But the real killer for Floridians are the constantly rising taxes and insurance costs which have been largely unchecked for years.
The development of that area is astounding, it aint the sleeply little place it used to be, the best values are across the river in Georgia, you still have the same weather and water activity that you have in Fernandina.
