"We go to the American Legion in Jacksonville Beach, the beach for fun, bars and travel to the surrounding areas for fun. Love challenge 22 rides and boots on the ground. Bike week in Daytona "

"The community is nice. Neighborhoods are quiet and being close to the beach is great. It’s secure in comparison to the rest of the city. Worth the commute to the city or south side. About 30 minutes in any direction from offices "

"Good area mostly because it’s pretty safe and close to the beach. Neighborhood isn’t friendly to neighbors. People aren’t courteous and kids vandalized my property. "

"None, except the local habits that have become like an institution: private impromptu fireworks at the boat dock every July 4, but can also sit on the dock and watch numerous displays up and down the intracoastal sans the crowds and traffic; golf carting to a friend’s house with a cooler. But mostly just quiet, each to his or her own. It’s wonderful."

"Jacksonville is a large geographic area and North Beach doesn’t have easy access to freeways. Commuting is not fun. "

"Besides being within ez walking distance to elementary and middle school, there are many outdoor ways to connect with nature in this area, including Modesky Park and the Oak Harbor boat ramp and park, where you can bird watch, or put in a canoe or kayak to row the marked trails. So much nature to experience here. Is it perfect for everyone? Probably not. But it was perfect for me and my kids. From 1998 to now, and now it’s a great place to ease into retirement. No demanding HOA. Key to why we love this very unique and somewhat, in a beautiful way, eccentric neighborhood. If you’re not an average Jo, you may love this place as much as I have these last 25 years. "

"Specifically regarding the Oak Harbor subdivision: If you enjoy simple, outdoor activities with young children (picnic, walk, bike, fish, swing, etc.), Oak Harbor is fabulous. Creative teens can also find plenty to do, but if they go looking for trouble, they can find that here as well, almost as easily. High school is a real trek, but elementary and middle school are super convenient. So pros & cons, for sure, like everywhere. I think it’s a perfect place for young folks on a budget with young kids to get started (and no HOA—good for creative homeowners!)"

"Great neighborhood but be mindful of speeding drivers and make sure your children(youth/Teens) use the sidewalks when on a main road. "

"I have lived here for 3 years and love the tranquility of this neighborhood . people are friendly and it doesn't hurt having seafood restaurants so close. the ferry to little Talbot island is only 2 miles up the road. "

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe worse experience in elementary yet! This is my 3rd child, so not new to the game. There is zero support and the teachers all cover for each other. We have experienced bullying from not only students but teachers. Report to the principal and meet with silence!Parent Review1mo ago19 Reviews - Anchor Academy

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy kids have been at Anchor now for about 5 years. The staff, front office, teachers, principal and assistant principal has been nothing but wonderful and helpful. We’ve had an issue with bullying once and we reached out to the teacher and principal after hours when we found out. The principal and teacher were quick to message back and dealt with it the next day. We haven’t had any issues since.Parent Review4y ago10 Reviews
