OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

You are too kind! Thank you so much. We researched over the weekend and found a few places in Fleming Island. I am calling about those today! Fingers crossed one of them will be our new home! If not, I will be contacting Jane! Thanks again!!

Comment by navymom3 on September 14, 2013 at 7:37pm: Anderson's wife.

If there are any you want me to drive by I can on my days off. Her name is Jane Fairall her number is 904-891-7529. Her email is jfairall@bellsouth.net. She is the mom of an old boss. She was able to make sure the person we were going to rent from actually owned the house we were going to rent.

Comment by andersons_wife on September 14, 2013 at 11:32am: Navymom3,

We are going to NAS Jax. I have read all good things about Fleming Island! Would you mind sending me the agents info? I have looked on militarybyowner and was able to find a lot of places but not knowing the areas of Jacksonville make it rather hard to choose.

Comment by navymom3 on September 13, 2013 at 10:42pm: Anderson's wife are you going to NAS JAX or Mayport? My son is at NAS JAX. And we also live in the Jax area. We live in Middleburg which is about a 30-40-min drive to NAS JAX. The schools in Clay county are really good. You also may want to look at Fleming Island as a place to live also good schools. You may want to stay away from the Duval Co. schools as they are always having problems. We found our first house on Militarybyowner.com . There you can find houses and apts for rent or sale by military people. I do know of a good real estate agent if you want one of those. Let me know and I can give you her info. They also do rentals.

Comment by andersons_wife on September 13, 2013 at 11:34am: Jodi,

I will look into those! Thanks for the info!

Comment by andersons_wife on September 13, 2013 at 11:26am: Renee,

Thank you for the link! I will be contacting an agent today!

Comment by Jodi-alumni Ship 4 on September 13, 2013 at 11:24am: andersons wife, my son's friend and his wife are staying at the Atlantica Apartments on Mayport Rd in Atlantic Beach. She says its a nice place and they do allow pets if you have any. My son stays with them sometimes and it seems like they have met a great group of young people there to associate with. Hope that helps.

Comment by ReneeBC on September 13, 2013 at 10:13am: Andersons_wife,

Although word of mouth is the best, asking a real estate agent about schools and neighborhoods whether you are house or apt shopping is an option. You can also go to www.greatschools.org/florida/jacksonville to do some investigating on your own. :)

Comment by andersons_wife on September 13, 2013 at 9:40am: Hello All! My husband and I will be PCSing to Jacksonville next month! I was excited to finally know where we are going until I started doing research. I am unsure as to where we need to look for a place to live. There HAS to be nice neighborhoods somewhere!! We have a 5th grader that has been in excellent schools and we do not want that to change. (private school is an option) Can anyone please give me information about the safest/nicest places to live and the school districts? Any kind of links would work as well! Thanks so much!
