Florida Real Estate In Jacksonville
When it comes to Florida real estate, Jacksonville is one of the
hottest markets in the state. With its coastal setting, beautiful
neighborhoods, and elite status as an NFL city (home of the Jacksonville
Jaguars), it's not hard to see why… it has something wonderful
to offer everyone. With the St. Johns River winding through its
downtown, dozens of lakes and creeks dotting the region, and miles
of pristine beaches running up and down the Atlantic coastline,
Jacksonville is a virtual paradise for boaters, surfers, fishermen
and water lovers in general. And thanks to the sunny, tropical climate,
residents can enjoy the fruits of Florida
real estate all year round.
Golf, as it is in many Florida real estate markets, is a huge attraction
in Jacksonville. Championship courses and golf course communities
are abundant, and the city also offers several highly regarded public
courses. Of course, the marquee golfing attraction found in Ponte
Vedra, where the Stadium Course at Sawgrass is home of the famed
17th Island Green and THE PLAYERS Championship -one of the most
prestigious golf tournaments in the world.
By all accounts, Jacksonville is a city on the rise. Super Bowl
XXXIX was held here in February 2005. More and more companies are
looking towards Jacksonville real estate for expansion or relocation
as the city offers an international airport, modern seaport facilities
(including America's newest cruise port), and can be accessed by
3 major interstate highways. The city is already headquarters for
such Fortune 500 companies as the railroad CSX and Fidelity National.
Other major employers include Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Florida,
America Online, CSX, and the U. S. Military. The city is the financial
and insurance center of the state of Florida as well as the home
to two major universities, The University of North Florida and Jacksonville
University, plus the well-respected Florida Community College at
Jacksonville.
