) is one of the most touristy destinations in
Florida
, and relocating to
Jacksonville
will get you away from the hustle and bustle. Some of the best places to live in Jacksonville are:
  • Avondale
  • Riverside
  • San Marco
  • Arlington
  • Bartram Park
  • Mandarin
  • Julington Creek
  • Orange Park
If you’re looking for family-friendly suburbs, Bartram Park, Orange Park, Mandarin, and Julington Creek are all great options with good schools, walking trails, and parks, and away from the downtown core. But if you’re looking for classic, Florida-style living, check out Avondale, Riverside, San Marco, and Arlington. The areas are vibrant and safe with lots to do.
Moving can be overwhelming, but once you’ve settled into your new place, don’t forget to update your car insurance policy.
