Review of Jacksonville, Florida


Good or Bad
Star Rating - 4/20/2006
My main problem with Jacksonville, Fl is that you can't tell if you're in a nice or bad neighborhood. There seems to be more bad than good. I live on the Southside of town and it's supposed to be one of the good sides, but there is constant crime and it's almost catching up with the Northside. When you drive through Jacksonville all you see is bad neighborhoods, they overshadow any good neighborhoods here and forget about trying to buy a house here unless you want to spend alot and still neighbor a bad neighborhood. Nothing much goes on here but the Gators and Jaguars, the only thing I like is the beach. Oh, and the apartments here suck as well. You'll be spending around 900-1000 just for what they call a luxury one bedroom, which reminds me the the mid class apartments in any other state. Texas has this state beat as far as more bang for your buck.

Problem with apartments can be true. But if you look you can find good ones. I rented for $850 a nice two bedroom and was VERY happy with it. As far as Texas is concerned, I spent last summer there .. miles away from any beach.... in scorching weather and even the bang for the money will not equal a weekend in Jacksonville.
