No city in the world is without its quirks, just as none is without its positives. Jacksonville is no different, and there are a number of pros of living on the First Coast.
The Weather
This one was overwhelmingly in the pros column but it may find itself in your cons column if you have an affinity for snow. Jacksonville has a very tropical, warm climate with mild winters. The city hasn't seen real snow since 1989. So you can pack away your snow suits for good when you move to Jacksonville.
The Beach
No matter where you live in Jacksonville you're likely not much more than a hop and a skip from miles of beaches. Residents in most areas of the city can reach the beach in less than an hour, depending on traffic. With the warm weather beaches are often frequented by the residents more than 9 months out of the year.
The Park
The city of Jacksonville operates the largest urban park system in the United States, with 262 designated parks and over 80,000 acres. Hannah Park is located on the beach and boasts camp sites, biking trails, frisbee courses and much more.
Sports & Outdoors
Like to hunt or fish? The St. Johns River is very much the lifeblood of the city, and is often used by residents for fishing, boating and water skiing.
The city is also filled with beautiful golf courses, and the PGA Tour is based in Ponte Vedra, making golf a popular local activity. Jacksonville's place is an NFL City thanks to the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Low cost of living
Jacksonville regularly makes the list for major cities with a low cost of living. Housing, particularly in some areas, is impressively affordable when Jacksonville is compared to many other cities on the East Coast. The cost of living is not only lower than the U.S. national average, but it's also lower than Florida average. But you don't have to sacrifice quality with the low cost.
