Can't blame you. That area is beautiful. My son, who is a frosh at UF, considered Va Tech very strongly; he loved Blacksburg.

29, no kids yet, but maybe in a couple years. Looked at some places and I was shocked. We pay $1740 for like 700sq ft for a 1 bedroom in Providence. Saw 2 bedrooms in these luxurious apartments for $1400. I can't wait to get out.

She's a Hokie and is already wanting to head over to Tallahassee for a game. I don't mind pulling against FSU!

Yeah about that.....do you just retreat to GA somewhere? I've always been inland in VA so Hurricanes were much weaker when it arrived.

Just depends. The last several really wrecked havoc on people. It would take 12 hours to get from south florida to north florida.. only to find no gas and food. My bet is hardly anyone evacuates during the next one.

I'm a 5th Generation Floridian and we don't live on the water... Wind and water are a killer combination! But, if you get out early, you'll just have property damage to deal with.

I assume you've made a choice on the town by now...

We'll be 10mins from Jax Beach. Some Luxury apartments. Crazy that we can get a 2bd, 2ba with double the sq footage for about $300 cheaper than our 1bd, 1ba in RI.

Enjoy the extra money from not having to pay state income tax.

There's a ton of good suggestions in here already and I'm surprised it hasn't been mentioned, but a picture of the wife would provide more clarity on this and allow us to better help you.

I grew up in Murray Hill (west side) but as an adult after college lived for 2 yrs. in Neptune Beach and loved it, other than my hair drooping down and mold turning my shoes green and having to use a gallon of windex. We had a new convertible and had to wash it every day. A bad hurricane hit and we were evacuated, but stayed with my parents on the west side, so no problem. That is the downside of living on the beach. I loved the smell of the ocean and would take a dip in the ocean every day after work and loved walking picking up shells so to me it was still worth living on the beach. Ponte Vedra is very nice, but a bit pricey. I have a good friend who is a pro. golfer that lives there but of course he makes over 1M/yr.so no problem. Good advise for either the beach area or off JTB (Turner Blvd.) near Mayo. Traffic is heavy, but not near as bad or crazy as Orlando or Miami. Good luch with your move and hope you enjoy the Jax. area.
