It’s hard for many people to grasp just how big a place Jacksonville, Florida is.
We all know it’s the most populous city in the state, and also the biggest in terms of square miles.
What many people don’t realize is that the city limits of Jacksonville are the same as the limits of Duval County. This means that even the large empty places in the area are still considered to be part of Jax. This is one of the reasons that Jacksonville real estate is such a prime market, because there is unlimited room for growth. Other cities in the state are full to capacity, and have no more room to grow, but Jacksonville properties and homes are different. For the record, I am not employed by any of the local Jacksonville real estate companies, I am an employee of the city itself. My job title is “city ambassador” and basically I promote Jax and encourage more people to move here and settle down. This means I work closely with several different Jax real estate companies and brokerages, because I am always pushing for more folks to call this city home. Thankfully there is such a wide array of different kinds of homes and properties in NE Florida it makes my job quite easy. From big mansions to humble apartments, from the woods to the beach, and everything in between, there is a perfect piece of Jacksonville real estate for everyone reading this! Even though Jacksonville property values are getting higher, there is still a lot of great affordable housing.
