The Water Life

Our water-based lifestyle and location provide an abundance of opportunities for residents to enjoy an ideal work-life balance. From the Atlantic Ocean or the St. Johns River, to the Intracoastal Waterway and our preserves, working in Northeast Florida is living the water life.

Whether you’re looking to establish roots at the beaches, downtown or anything in between, JAX has it all. From a vibrant arts scene and a growing number of locally owned restaurants to the scenic beauty of our waterscape at every turn, Northeast Florida is full of activity and adventure.

And the world is noticing! U.S. News & World Report recently ranked Jacksonville among the top 20 best places to live – but don’t just take our word for it, come experience it for yourself.
