Jacksonville is Booming!!
 

It is easy to see why so many people are moving to the Jacksonville Metropolitan area each year. Jacksonville has one of the lowest overall costs of living in Florida and the U.S.
Affordable, high quality housing, ample recreational opportunities, proximity to the beach, and short commute times are just a few of the reasons why so many people choose to relocate to Jacksonville. 

At a time when companies all over the country are laying people off, many companies in Jacksonville are still growing and hiring. Our city has not seen the economic slow down that much of the nation has recently. Another interesting fact is that the average age in Jacksonville is just 35!! It's a very young, vivacious city that is on the grow. 

Jacksonville's cost of living index is below the national average, and our housing market is the fourth least expensive in the state. Between that and our year round moderate climate, Jacksonville's quality of life is FANTASTIC!
