Jax question? - SouthEastern U.S

Teresa · 12-10-2006, 02:06 AM

For all the ladies that have lived or are living in Jacksonville, FL I have a quick question. I was looking at some houses there (just in case that's where we get stationed) and there were some beautiful homes in Orange Park. Is it a pretty nice area? Also, how far do you think it is from the Naval Hospital? Dh really does not want a long commute every day!

I'm so far from Jax now, but so bored here so I relive through reading posts. The hospital's on base which isn't far from OP. I thought Orange Park was ok. You don't like living on base? Houses are within walking distance to the hospital.

I've never lived on base before so I don't know anything about it

I guess I can check it out!!

I just moved on base and we live directly behind the hospital...its nice on base...but I'd love to buy a house in the argyle area...oakleaf plantation...also fleming island/eagle harbor area is VERY nice too...

ooh, do you like seafood? We loved going to Whitey's Fish Camp. It's not far away. Yummy!

It depends on where in OP you're looking at...it's really hard to tell here unless you actually visit the area.

op argyle is nice. lots of new homes being built. depends on what part. over the bridge in mandrian is nice.

My Grandparents live in OP. I love it there.

I think the houses I was looking at were in a newer part of Orange Park.. they were so nice and affordable,too. What I really liked is that there are a lot of single story homes that actually have decent square footage. I'm kinda tired of having to have an upstairs just to get a decent size house. Dh thinks we'll end up getting stationed either in Jacksonville, NC or Jacksonville, FL

We find out for sure on Wednesday and I can't wait!!

I have been looking everywhere trying to find pics of Jax base housing. Do any of you know where I can find some? I've already googled it and didn't come up with anything!
