Love/hate relationship with Jax
I’ve lived in Jacksonville for 12+ years(but visited on and off much longer). There’s things I love and things I hate and just like any place there are pros and cons. Pros: comfortable living expenses, St. Augustine close by, beaches, dog friendly, plenty of shopping/food options. Cons: very very rainy for a good portion of the year, public education (even at “A”) schools is subpar, unless you live at the beaches or riverside area not a walkable city (between city layout, heat, drivers etc), so need to drive everywhere, drinking water quality isn’t the best. I think at the end of the day, no one place is perfect. Considering moving but housing market is a mess everywhere.
