If someone asked you if you wanted to visit the country's largest city by land area, you would probably start packing your bags for Los Angeles or New York City, or even Chicago, Houston or Atlanta. The only problem would be that those cities would not be where you are going. Instead, you would be on your way to Jacksonville Florida. You might also be surprised to know that after New York City and Philadelphia, Jacksonville is the most populated city on America's east coast. The city is also the financial and insurance hub of Florida and home to several U.S. Navy bases. Jacksonville travel has blossomed in recent history, and the city is well served by a number of Interstate Highways and major U.S. Highways. The newly added cruise port has joined three other modern seaport facilities to help establish Jacksonville as a shipping giant. The city is also well served by the Jacksonville International Airport, which lies just a 15-minute ride from downtown. Travelers can find a flight to Jacksonville from most major American cities, and popular Orlando is just 45 minutes away by air.

Jacksonville Florida rests just 25 miles south of the Georgia border and enjoys positioning along the St. Johns River. It was founded in the year 1791 as a settlement, originally carrying the name of Cowford, due to the fact that cattle were previously driven along the area. In 1822, the city changed its name to honor seventh President Andrew Jackson, who had served as the Florida Territory's first military governor. Due to its prime location, however, Jacksonville had already had a long history before then. In the early 1560's, the area of present day Jacksonville was settled by French explorers who established Fort Caroline there. However, this settlement attempt would be short-lived. Spanish forces would go on to obliterate the French fort, effectively ending French colonization attempts along the New World's east coast.

Jacksonville Florida earned a reference as the "Winter Film Capital of the World" in the 1910's, as over 30 silent film studios made their bases there. Jacksonville's film heyday may have passed when film makers made their eventual moves to Hollywood, California, but film fans will still enjoy the Jacksonville Film Festival, which takes place in May. The city also hosts the nation's second largest jazz festival every year in April. Jacksonville travel is ideal year round, with temperate weather in the winter, pleasant spring and fall temperatures and hot summer days that are ideally spent at the wide and sandy Jacksonville area beaches. The city is surrounded with natural beauty, offering nature trails for walking and wildlife watching and plenty of water to explore whether fishing or simply pleasure-cruising. Visitors to this great southern city will find ample choices among Jacksonville hotels ranging from upscale area resorts to charming Florida bed & breakfasts. Jacksonville Florida dining certainly features fresh seafood from the nearby Atlantic, but you'll also find plenty in the way of savory steaks and southern-fried chicken.

Jacksonville travel is growing in popularity and the addition of the city's JAXPORT Cruise Terminal has added a list of Jacksonville cruises that service Key West and the Bahamas. Visitors to northeast Florida will find plenty of options for things to do in Jacksonville, including various cruises within the city, an array of museum options, fine Florida beaches, the country's largest urban park system and so much more. In nearby Ponte Vedra, golf enthusiasts will find the most recognizable of all Florida golf courses, TPC at Sawgrass. This famous course joins an array of other quality golf courses in the area to make a golfing vacation here ideal. In fact, the PGA tour makes its headquarters in nearby Ponte Vedra, and golf fans can find the World Golf Village and the World Golf Hall of Fame in nearby St. Augustine. St. Augustine is just a half-hour's drive away, and other exciting day trips from Jacksonville could include Daytona Beach, the Kennedy Space Center, Savannah, Georgia and Florida's beautiful Amelia Island.

Jacksonville travel further rewards visitors with other attractions, such as the Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens, the Jacksonville Landing shopping center, the Riverwalk and Jacksonville Beach. The Jacksonville Zoo houses the second largest collection of animals in Florida and shopping, dining and strolling at the Landing, the Riverwalk and Jacksonville Beach are great ways to have fun in Jacksonville. For those who enjoy seeing shows or taking in concerts, they will be happy to know that Jacksonville offers a variety of options for the performing arts. The Florida Theatre, the Times-Union Center for the Performing Arts and the Jacksonville Veterans Memorial Arena provide the city with a full schedule of entertainment options from the Jacksonville Symphony to a list of national acts.

Testimonials

"I had just moved to Jacksonville and was a first time home buyer, so the thought of dealing with the whole Real Estate experience made me a little apprehensive. But Jennifer's outgoing nature and friendly demeanor helped make it an enjoyable as well as a learning experience. She explained the details of the home buying process to me and was patient with my questions. I would definitely recommend her to anybody looking to buy their next house."

Jared Elliott

"My wife and I retained the services of Jennifer Crawford to sell our house at 3113 Peach Drive earlier this year. We could not have been more pleased with her help; professionalism and unending dedication towards assisting us in obtaining a buyer. Despite the market fluctuation that negatively impacted the market, she was still able to sell our house at a fair market value and make the transaction move very efficiently. Her cheerful personality did wonders to quell our fears and concerns throughout the entire process. We would highly recommend her to our entire group of friends and will certainly use her as our agent in any real estate transactions in the future. We cannot thank her enough for the tireless hours she put in to make this happen."

Sincerely,

Robert & Linda Arcusa

Jennifer, thank you so much for taking good care of my friends Traver and Aimee. They are very excited and have explained that you have been a godsend. Thank you again. I can’t tell you how happy this experience has made them and myself for referring them to you!

Sincerely, Bryan Quinn

”We were relocating back to Jacksonville from Texas and flew into Jacksonville for 7 days of house hunting. We connected with Jennifer on the 3^rd day through one of her listings. She did a great job and found us a house. We made an offer just before flying back to Texas. She worked with us through the negotiating process via phone, fax and e-mail. When we reached an agreement she arranged inspections, referred us to contractors and arranged for repair work to be done.

She made our buying experience so easy that when our daughter decided to buy her first home we immediately called Jennifer. Our second purchase went as smoothly as the first and we continue to recommend her to friends and family for their Real Estate needs.”

Everything she does she does with the essence of a consummate professional, communicating all along the way. Jennifer truly stands out in the crowd and is in the top 1% among all Realtors in our area.

I highly recommend her to anyone wanting a highly skilled Realtor to sell their home for optimum dollar in the least amount of time with the least amount of stress.

David Elian

My wife and I were recently considering selling our house and consulted with Jennifer Crawford. After carefully listening to our current situation, Jennifer shared her perspectives with us and highly suggested that it would be better for us to rent our house rather than sell it. We appreciated her honesty, and based on her wise evaluation, we came into agreement with her and have much more peace. Thanks so much, Jennifer, for your integrity in putting our best interest ahead of yours.
