Renter’s City Guide to Jacksonville

Introduction

Nicknamed “The River City,” or just “Jax” by its locals, Jacksonville is a city in northern Florida on the banks of the St. Johns River. Boasting the youngest population in the state of Florida, Jacksonville is a hip, vibrant city with a rich film and music culture. In fact, the city played host to one of Elvis Presley’s first concerts in the historic Florida Theater and also launched the career of other music legends, such as Southern Rock and the Allman Brothers band.

How big is Jacksonville?

Jacksonville is the largest city in Florida by population, and its metropolitan area is the fourth-largest in the state after Miami, Tampa-St. Petersburg and Orlando. With a total land area of 747 square miles, it is also the fifth-largest city in the U.S. by area. 

What cities are close to Jacksonville?

Located near the Florida state border, Jacksonville is a little ways from other large metropolitan areas in the state. However, the Jacksonville International Airport provides easy access across the country and beyond, and it also has 27 non-stop destination cities. Orlando is 141 miles south and Tampa is around 200 miles away. If you fancy an out-of-state trip, you can reach Savannah, Ga., in a little more than two hours by car. 

What is the weather like in Jacksonville?

Jacksonville has a humid subtropical climate, with hot, wet summers and mild winters. Residents enjoy an average of 221 sunny days per year and an average July temperature of 90°F. Winters here typically drop to 42.5°F in January.

What are the pros of living in Jacksonville?

If you’re looking to live in a city with a young vibe, excellent weather and instant access to the beach, Jacksonville is the perfect place for you. The affordable cost of living; ethnic and cultural diversity; numerous options for employment and higher education; as well as lush nightlife make Jacksonville a very appealing city for both young professionals and families.

What are the cons of living in Jacksonville?

Jacksonville sprawls across a very large area, which is one of the downsides of living here. Locals often have to rely on their cars to get around — which, paired with insufficient public transportation options, makes the city prone to heavy traffic and rush hour congestion.
