You’re close enough to many different things.
1. You’re south of Jax, so you’re away from the ferals.
2. Close to St. Augustine
3. Close to different Springs if you enjoy that.
4. Close to NAS Jax, so lots of military people.
5. Close to Sawgrass, if you enjoy golf.
6. Tons of tennis.
7. Bike trails, pools, and gyms all over.
8. More temperate than south and central Florida.
Fantastic!
We have been Fleming Island residents for a long time. I’d rather keep it to myself, but EEGator is right, it’s a great place to live. Overwhelmingly conservative but the real estate market is pretty hot and there is a lot of growth going on, so that may change, as it has in other areas of Florida. (When we built here the only significant store on the Island was the Publix, the only restaurant was Whitey’s Fish Camp, and CR-220 was still a two lane.) You would be welcome here.
Two more goodies:
9. Very Conservative area.
10. Located inside “the bend.” This area is literally where meteorologists go to retire, because of the geography, hurricanes scoot up the coast instead of hitting this area directly.
