We relocated once to PA from Ohio but now have the chance to relocate anywhere! Our wishlist includes a place that has/is...
-great schools
-low crime
-warmer weather year round
-near a large lake or ocean
-near good/large businesses in case job situations change
Thanks!
St Johns County (southeast suburb of Jax, FL) would nail your rather short wish list. #1 school district in the state, low crime, ~11 months of >60 degree weather, on the ocean, good job opportunities for a mid-sized metro. The negatives are that it's on the expensive side for a very low cost metro (so still relatively cheap), it's very suburban and not terribly diverse.
Nassau County (north suburb of Jax) is more suburban/rural and is another option as the #2 school district in the state. Clay County (southwest of Jax) is also a decent district. Duval County (the central county) would offer many more lifestyle options but the schools would have to be navigated much more carefully, as well as neighborhoods regarding crime.
