Jacksonville is one of Florida's best kept secrets. It is located on a 25 mile stretch of wide open beaches in the northern part of the state. Our climate is semi-Tropical with the coldest months averaging 55-60 degrees. However, it's not unusual to have 80 degree beach weather on a December day! We average 320 days of Sunshine!

Jacksonville contains many different communities to fit any life style. You can live on acreage with horses or next to a charming shopping village.

Probably our greatest asset is our waterways. Besides our 25 miles of white sandy beaches, we also have a major river and the Intra-Coastal waterways throughout the city. Waterfront living is a dream easily attainable in Jacksonville.

Our home prices are much more affordable than other Florida cities. In a comparison of housing in 9 major cities in Florida, Jacksonville ranked #1 in value.

Jacksonville's broad based and stable economy provides for exceptional job opportunities. The strength of Jacksonville's economy was one of the many reasons the NFL awarded Jacksonville a Professional Football team. Jacksonville is a Mecca for sports enthusiasts.
