Longtime lurker here, I'm a remote worker and It's a a small town city with about 14,345 people. Crime rate is something to consider -Jacksonville sits at 537.6 per 100K. Homes are going for about $179,600 on average. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. What do you all think? There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Property taxes are high but you get good services. The city has invested a lot in new development. The weather takes some getting used to. The food scene here is surprisingly good.
