To the residents who already call the First Coast home, the excitement is no surprise. They simply enjoy the benefits of an exceptional quality of life every day. Over one million people benefit from working, living and playing in Northeast Florida.
Anchored by the city of Jacksonville, our seven-county region is growing exponentially. In the last decade or so, many infrastructure and road improvements have been made–this supports Jacksonville’s overall growth management strategy.
Our communities are working to continually improve the quality of life for its residents.
Why is This a Great Place to Live
With miles of beaches from Amelia Island to St. Augustine, Northeast Florida offers a variety of living options. We enjoy luxury condos in multi-story locales, historic homes and custom-built communities designed for a vast variety of budgets.
Downtown Area
While new luxury high-rise apartments, condos, loft apartments, garden homes, townhomes and historic conversions are bountiful, downtown Jacksonville has much more to offer. Downtown Jacksonville offers a new football arena, baseball stadium, “The Jacksonville Landing”, a Modern Art museum and much more.
Historic Areas
Communities such as Riverside, San Marco, Springfield, Avondale, San Jose and Orgega, offer a unique character and diverse neighborhoods. Riverside and Avondale [alone] make up the nation’s largest historic district, boasting 6,000 historic structures.
Suburban Areas
In any location that you are interested in, you’ll find new construction and a variety of homes to choose from. You can choose from upscale gated communities, established neighborhoods or new master planned communities. With so many areas, subdivisions and counties to choose from, our region offers a wide range of options for almost every budget.
Coastal Areas
Naturally, the highly desired coastal areas of Northeast Florida offer a ‘low-key’, outdoors lifestyle. With delightful communities such as Ponte Vedra Beach, Amelia Island, Fernandiana, Atlantic Beach, Neptune Beach, Mayport, St. Augustine and Jacksonville Beach, finding your favorite stretch of sand can be a challenge.
Rural Areas
For a true change of pace, consider our rural areas. With a ‘country’ feel and plenty of room between neighbors, many of the rural areas offer large lots and acreage.
Popular rural communities include McClenny, Baldwin, Marietta, Green Cove, Keystone Heights and many others.
