I start a new job in May. I have some family who is helping me out by putting me up for a few weeks to a month while I get myself settled in at the new job.

The job is on the north end of Jacksonville in Imeson Park. I'm a fan of living in a rural setting. Any housing within 30 minutes of that area?

I'm into bass fishing and it looks like the lower basin is going to be mostly brackish water. Am I going to have to drive an hour or more to get to good fresh water bass fishing in the middle basin? What are taxes like on boats?

You will want to live on the Southside of Jacksonville, near Baymeadows/St.Johns area.....just commute to Northside for work and then hurry back to the Southside lol.

I'm in Jax now for a little while after being in Tampa for a few years, I like it here and the beaches are better than I expected

Taxes on boats I'm am unsure of but I know you should be able to find a deal on one with the amount usually being listed

Taxes on boats?  Other than sales tax when you buy it, as far as I know it is just an annual registration just like your car.   I pay $10/year for my canoe w/ numbers so I can run it w/ an electric trolling motor....

i’ll clarify. in sc, at least, there’s property tax on boats every year like on a car.

Look up the road off of yellow bluff down maybe the black hammock area, if you go a little further north  to Yulee/Nassauville there is some nice fishing spots and there are some pretty rural areas there.

Where in SC are you coming from? An old coworker and I both left the state and came to FL around the same time. He ended up in the Jax area and I'm in the Daytona area now.

Gotcha, where he lives in great compared to where I'm at. He lives in the green cove springs area. I lived in Lugoff for 12 years and I'm ready to go back.

Yulee should fit the bill.  Callahan if traffic doesn't stretch the time.  

It's a shame you don't like salkwater mud flat fishing as it's some of the best in the country.

I have a vacancy at a rental on the west side.  Not ideal but it's a roof.  Not sure of the rental markets out in the more rural areas.

I salt water fish, but my boat is strictly fresh water.

I'd definitely look around the New Berlin area. I have or have had several friends that live in the area and they speak well of it.

If you like really rural, Hilliard area.  St. Mary's River is fresh enough and good for small boats.

I still sorta kick myself for not buying a place in Hilliard. It was 5 acres with a pole barn and a pond. The house was the same size we were in, though. Hindsight 20/20.

Another vote for Yulee and Callahan areas. I own a condo on Amelia Island but I'm looking to buy property in the Callahan/Hilliard area to build when I retire in five years.
