Our Take
Jacksonville offers very affordable housing and decent schools, but the city is almost entirely car‑dependent with no public transit or biking options. The quiet, small‑town feel may appeal to families and retirees, but the limited job market and low walkability make it a less ideal long‑term move for many.
