I lived in the area for 5 years and sister and her husband live there now. I have recently moved but it was not because I disliked the area. The pros of the area is that it is very convenient because there are a lot of shops and entertainment nearby. Target, the Orange Park Mall, Movie Theatre(AMC), restaurants, and every thing else you might need. Also the home prices in the area are middle to low end homes for the city. The people are nice middle class working people; there's very little crime.
The cons is saturation. Because is great for the money, many people moved into the area and traffic slow is a concern. Getting to and from work can be a challenge. But I managed by leaving early, that way I missed the traffic, but if I didn't get an early start I was barely making it on time. but I don't know your situation so don't be afraid. if you can come visit and see if you like it or not. - Mon Dec 31 2007, 12:44
