Moving in August to JAX
33M Hispanic currently living in Dallas and thinking about moving to Jacksonville to experience living in a coastal city. I already know the summers are hot and humid, but honestly Dallas heat isn’t much better.
I’m pretty much over the nightclub scene at this point, but I still enjoy going out to bars every now and then, meeting people, watching sports, and being social. Currently WFH.
I’m mainly looking for honest feedback from locals about:
How Jacksonville is viewed overall
Beach life and whether people actually use it regularly
Social life for singles in their 30s
Non-denominational churches and church communities
Outdoor activities (fishing, parks, boating, fitness, etc.)
The vibe/safety of the Baymeadows area since that’s where I’m considering living
Would appreciate the real pros and cons from people who actually live there or moved from bigger cities.
