Another apartment complex there on the corner next to the JEA building. That hotel there opposite of it on Atlantic.
And then when you go on the other side towards Beach they're building another neighborhood over there to the right just past the overpass and then they've already completed another neighborhood just before it near that Xtreme Wings and DMV place. Then that Tamaya community on Beach they're building also expands into Kernan as well.
Too many damn traffic lights have been added though. They threw in maybe three or four lights down Kernan and it's become a crawl now during the heavy hours. It is what it is. It's crazy though how much we're growing. My dad and my grandfather remember doing ground work back in the mid to late 80's for Kernan and it trips him out just seeing how much it's expanded since then.
I keep threatening my wife with it but I don't like crowds. Might be looking for a new home sooner rather than later way out in the middle of Callahan or somewhere closer to Heckscher to where I get to my fishing spots faster and away from people.
The perfect option in the future would be to lease it out and move to a more rural area. That way you take advantage of your home appreciating in value while you are able to live the life you want. Also, that area should be in high in demand now and into the future as the city expands and the schools continue to improve.
