Depending on where you want to live and where your company is located, there are several places to check.

Beach area (within 15mins), Arlington, Regency, Intercoastal West
Beaches proper: Jacksonville Beach, Atlantic Beach, PonteVedra (pricey)

Southside area is good, Mandarin is a little older but nice area.

Stay away from most of the Northside and Westside.

Hey Unitas, I live in Jacksonville have been for 19 years, like said above it depends on where you are going to work ,they say thatJacksonville is the biggest land spread city in the USA so it does matter where you live if you want to save a little gas money, any way I live in the Ponte Vedra area so if you are close by let me know and I will tell you where the good bike nights are.

Got me beat - only been here since 89'.

I have a commute that takes 25 minutes to get into work and 45-1hr to get home.

Finding the right place for you is imperative if you like to have less time spent in/on your vehicle to go along with your possibly long shift hours.

Get here and do some good looking around. The market has been so slow you're bound to get a sweetheart deal on whatever property you decide on.

Tealdreams- I tend to do a lot of A1A riding through your neck of the woods. In fact I think there's several guys on here that do. I'll add your name to the PM list for when we get together again??

Amelia Island, that's the only place to be. Well, the newer parts of Yulee aren't bad either. Nice areas off of Yellow Bluff and 17, Duval Station area. Other than that Jax Beach and the JTB area. Good luck.
