Not a Good Choice

The job situation in Jacksonville is very poor. There are several call center and low-mid salary positions, but you will have difficulty matching salary or opportunities from nearby Atlanta or even Orlando. If you aren’t moving with a job you will be disappointed in what Jacksonville has to offer.
Crime is bad everywhere. You will need to be both highly selective in where you live and vigilant about where you socialize.
The beaches are very lovely and easily accessible. The downtown river area is pretty, but also somewhat run down.
Commuting is terrible and public transportation is non existent.
The area in general draws a lowbrow crowd from the north and southeast.
