It depends on what you're looking for.
Right now that area is surprisingly rural, especially considering its relative proximity to downtown and the airport. Yulee is nearby, so there's a bit of a rural/redneck/backwoods stigma about the area. Depending on the property's specific location, you might be near parts of the Timucan Preserve, so that could be a plus.
However, be very clear that this area is the suburb of the future for Duval County. It might take 15 or 20 years due to the downturn, but it's coming. Look at googlemaps for that area. Basically everything that isn't colored green for the Timucan Preserve will eventually be filled up with subdivisions and business/industrial parks. The long range master plans are crystal clear that this will happen.
So yeah, it's a weird combination for a long term move, honestly. You have to be happy with rural now - but okay with the fact that it will eventually turn into suburbia.
