Quote:. It's difficult to find places which out actually being there and knowing the neighborhoods. Found some really cheap places along the river but some of them look like they need a lot of work. So overall, do you like living in jax?

 

I'd keep tabs on sites like Craigslist Jax or Hotpads.com, every now and then you'll see a privately-owned rental go on the market for dirt cheap.

 

Based on what I've read it sounds like you'd enjoy Riverside. Great mix of restaurants and stores in Five Points, Memorial Park is awesome, bike friendly and a close distance to downtown/EB. The southside is very cookie-cutter in comparison, but you can also find some cheap apartments there too.
