Just moved to Fernandina Beach, any tips?

OK so I relocated for work and You can expect to pay around $1,581 for rent here. Rent is about $1,581/month for a decent place. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much.

Weather-wise, the summers are hit or miss and winters are reasonable. You get used to it after the first year.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.

I'm a lawyer who relocated here from Portland about 9 years ago. The main reasons were cost of living and weather.

Pros I've experienced:
- Four distinct seasons
- Close to major attractions
- Lots of family-friendly activities

Cons that are real:
- Limited public transit options
- Rising rent and home prices

Financially, we've found it hit or miss compared to where we came from. It's gotten pricier but still beats the coasts. Groceries are stable, gas is surprisingly good.

Socially, there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. It's not for everyone but it works for us..
