Hello,

We are thinking of moving to Jacksonville FL-somewhere in St. Johns County..looking at Fruit Cove/Green Cove or maybe even Nacatee. Any information would help. Thanks for your time!!

How much is it to rent (for the beginning)?
Average price to buy?

What are the schools like? We have 2 little girls..
What about parks? Mommy and Me groups? Community?

Crime?

We are Jewish and belong to a conservative Temple, anything like that in the area? We know there is an established Jewish community in Duval County but are there any Jews on this forum living in these areas?

Thanks in advance.

I can only answer about Nocatee, but hopefully that will help a little.

There aren't too many rentals, so they go very quickly. I think rentals around here start at around $2000 a month and go up from there. There are a lot of different neighborhoods in Nocatee, but most of the single family home prices start around $200K.

Schools are excellent, TONS of parks and greenspace, very safe. Not sure about mom groups, but I'm sure they wouldn't be too hard to find...there are a lot of families with young kids here.

I know the Beth El Temple is close by (off Palm Valley Rd), but I don't know anything about it.

I have lived in Jax for 26 years (moved here in 9th grade) and moving to Fruit Cove as we close on our house in June. We are moving there primarily for the schools. I am also Jewish and the Fruit Cove/Julington Creek area is closer to most of the synagouges than is Nocatee (Green Cove is on the other side of the river).
There are 3 main synagouges in the Mandarin area (as well as some more around the beaches area):

Jacksonville Jewish Center - Conservative
Ahaveth Chesed (known as "The Temple") - Reform
Etz Chaim - Orthodox

The is also the JCA (Jewish Community Alliance) as well as the Jacksonville Jewish Federation in Mandarin. (The Federation is a great place to get info about Jewish life in Jacksonville, Jewish Community Services | Jewish Community | Jewish Community Federation | Jewish Organizations)

Rent in St. Johns for a townhouse can run from $1000-$1200 and you can get a house for $200k on up in St. Johns.

If you have any more questions, feel free to post or send me a direct message!
