I moved to Jacksonville in early 2022. Having spent a year getting used to things, I'm ready to go out and explore some fun. Thanks for the video!

[MovinginJax]

This is a wonderful video showcasing the things to do in Jacksonville. A lot of people don’t get out and experience these things & then say there’s nothing to do 😂
All though we are experiencing rapid growth affecting the housing market.. we are growing with even more things to come. Hopefully we can find a great balance!

[AminTaba]

This is the most complete and helpful guide I had ever seen about Jacksonville.
I can mention iFly Skydiving to be added to the list.

[jbbasford-soxj]

Diamond D ranch for trail riding, the equestrian center numerous events, the aquatic center also many events, the ritz theater and the comedy club. Also all the fishing and boating charters. There is something to do in Jacksonville all the time.

@9:00 min. Ponte "Verde" beach.. I need to know this green salsa beach you speak of is located... I've lived in jacksonville for over 30 years and never heard or seen a placed called Ponte Verde. The corresponding video playing looks like Ponte Vedra, the historic and well known beach/golfing destination.

[vajraloka]

Been watching alot of Jacksonville vids. I never see anyone walking.

[jimchalker]

You left out Treaty Oak. And you could brush up on your pronunciations. Timucua for instance. And no mention of any fishing at all. There are all kinds of fishing, salt and fresh water.

[carpenoctem]

When you enter Jacksonville, the sign should read “you’re welcome for Lynyrd Skynyrd, sorry about limp bizkit.”

Hi everyone,
We are a family of 4 and we are thinking to move from Sweden to Jacksonville.
I wonder if is it a good place for a family with small kids?
Is it safe?Does it have good schools, good hospitals, good jobb opportunities, good standart and quality of living?
Does snakes and aligators appears everywhere like around the houses or in the park roads?
Please if you have a friendly advice for me, I would really appreciate it.
Thank you in advance.
