Buying in Jacksonville Florida

I'm interested in possibly relocating and buying in Jacksonville fl. I have been doing some research on Jacksonville and I'm wanting to know what areas I should avoid. I know it's a big city, but in general where are some of there rougher areas? Can anyone help?

Hi @Jamey Newman

I also moved to Jacksonville specifically to invest in this great market.  The "rougher" areas aren't isolated to a single part of town or zip code.  I can tell you that the 32209, 32208 as well as parts of 32210 are areas that I personally stay away from.  It's not easy to identify being out of state so I would recommend doing what I did and come out here and drive every part of this largest city in america to get to know for yourself what is doable for your investing strategy.  Bring a map with you and note the areas to stay away from.  Let me know if I can answer any questions.

Good luck!
