Best Places to live near Camp Lejeune?

Hey ya'll, my sailor and I will be relocating to Jacksonville in a couple months, and I'm wondering where we should be looking to live. While looking at the map of the area, I immediately began looking south near the coast (must be the southern Californian in me) but then I heard I might want to look north near Western and Marine Blvd where all the main shopping, dining, etc. is. Ultimately we just want to live somewhere safe, close to enough shops and food, but somewhere where my sailor can easily make it to work at CL. We are outdoorsy so somewhere close to biking or a place we could go for a jog would be amazing. I know a lot of you don't like in Jacksonville but I figured a lot of you may be familiar with the area and may be able to offer some insight. Thanks so much.

    Or should we consider living on base instead?
