it so whether you're moving in nine days or 90 days give me a call shoot me a text send me an email I'm happy to help you make a smooth move to Jacksonville this neighborhood is Daniel's Landing which is part of Eagle Harbor here in Fleming Island just in case you wanted to know and it is a beautiful Community but so the first pro I would say is the high quality housing options that you have available to you the homes in Fleming Island the majority of them were more recently built which is going to provide you with all a newer roof newer electrical system newer HVAC probably built stronger structurally more recent Plumbing they use reclaimed water in many of these communities so you're going to have a for irrigation you're going to have a lower water bill you can have Energy savings from the Energy Efficiency of the homes which saves you on your monthly bills just fantastic options as far as housing goes there are single family and there are some Town Homes I cover those in my map video and you do want to check out my map video and my Vlog videos because you'll get a good idea of some of the housing that is available in these areas as well as some of the shopping as well okay so here's another big Pro for all of y'all military folks it's very Fleming Island is very close to Naval Air Station Jacksonville it's not even 20 minutes away it's a easy drive up 17 North and you could work on base live here in Fleming Island and have a short commute time and a wonderful place to live very close by okay so the next Pro is going to be all a-rated schools so the schools that Fleming Island residents are zoned for the public schools the elementary school the junior high school as well as the high school all a rated so you can live here and have peace of mind it would be sending your kids to the best schools possible here in Clay County so here's another Pro which if you're a water loving person like myself you're going to love Fleming Island because you have the St John's river doctors Lake and Black Creek and if that's not enough jump in your car or trailer your boat or jet skis what have you to the beaches which is going to be about an hour to the east so you've got salt water launch facilities public ones up in Atlantic Beach up in the Mayport area as well as near Comanche Cove off of Vilano Beach over towards St Augustine so definitely have the water options covered living here in Fleming Island okay so here's the next Pro it's going to be everything is convenient so if you need to go to like an acute care doctors a visit shopping for groceries shopping for clothes Home Depot food options fast food options dining options all of that's available here on Fleming Island you do not have to leave the island if you don't want to but if you do want to leave the island you've got great shopping that's not that far away you just head over into Jacksonville and you get at that very easily okay so now we're going to go over some of the cons which I must say there it was hard I was hard-pressed to come up with many cons for Fleming Island but here we go I would say if you want a lot of nightlife action things to do after 9 P.M into the early morning hours if you will if you want to keep on going you're not going to find that here on Fleming Island I would say most everything shuts down after nine o'clock and people settle in for the night if you want to keep things going I would head for St Augustine St Augustine Beach Ponte Vedra Beach Jacksonville Beach Atlantic Beach possibly the Riverside area of Jacksonville as well but if you want to keep things going after nine that's probably what you're going to need to do okay so here's a con which is going to be they don't have a junior high school here on Fleming Island to me it's not that big a deal because the junior high that is zoned for is in Green Cove Springs and it's an a-rated Junior High School if you wanted to send your kid a child to a private school of course that's always your option but if you're trying to keep them on the island for junior high until they build a new K-8 school or something like that you're going to be taking them by car to the Junior High in Green Cove or the bus which I'm sure the buses do run over there but you definitely have that as an option okay so here's another con which is going to be the traffic because it is an island you're going to have limited access onto and off of the island by only so many roadways like three different roadways so when things are cranking up in the morning people commuting to school getting ready to go to work same thing in the afternoons when schools let out three o'clock 3 30. you got school zones you got people coming home traffic it's just something to make you aware of it's not impossible it's just something to get used to and just to make you aware of there will be some traffic here so the next con is going to be the cost of housing I ran the mean price point today for the last month and between town homes and single-family homes the mean price was 436 thousand dollars so that put it above Orange Park and Green Cove Springs so it's the highest Fleming Island is the highest price points is that a bad thing no just making you aware of it you will pay more to live on Fleming Island on average than any of those other locations okay so I'm gonna wrap it up with the final con which is going to be Fleming Island's kind of far away from a lot of different things that are important to people like Jacksonville International Airport Downtown Jacksonville the beaches St John's Town Center all those places I cover the distances on all those in my map video Google Map video so you want to check that out and yeah it's a great place to live but you do have to jump in your car and drive a little bit if you want to get to any of those other places so I hope you got a lot out of that pros and cons a list that I ran through Fleming Island I hope it provided you some
