Most Affluent ZIP Codes in Northeast Florida

By Leave a Comment

The Jacksonville Business Journal has an interesting article out today identifying the most affluent ZIP codes in Northeast Florida. Interesting that 32081 comes in at number one on the list. Of course, the list focuses on percent of households earning $200,000 or more. I’m guessing if we raised that dollar figure a bit more, 32082 would likely come out on top.

That said, it’s an interesting statistic. 32081 is home to Nocatee, for example, as well as Marsh Harbor, Quail Ridge, Walden Chase and a number of other desirable communities.

See below for a list of homes currently listed for sale in the 32081 ZIP code:

Finding Beach Access in St. Johns & Duval Counties, Florida

Get online to reach the beach

Jacksonville Beach Pier

Heading to the beach is just one of the great advantages of living here in northeast Florida. On any given day, you can head over to Jacksonville Beach, with its busy pier and boardwalk, or head south to St. Augustine beach.

But what if you’re looking for beach access a little more off the beaten path, or just a little closer to home? Well, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection has developed an interactive map to help you find a public beach access point, wherever you are in Florida. It’s an easy way to find your way to your local beach.

Here’s the URL: http://ca.dep.state.fl.us/mapdirect/?focus=coastalaccess

Personally, I’m partial to the Guana Tolomato Matanzas National Estuarine Research Reserve access points (follow @GTMReserve on Twitter), due to the undeveloped nature of the beach in that area, but there are lots of other access points on the map I plan on checking out. I hope you will, too…

Great Schools & Green Fuels – 2 More Reasons to Love Living in St. Johns County, Florida

By Leave a Comment

Atlantic Ocean in St. Johns County, FloridaJust a quick post today to highlight a couple more reasons why St. Johns County, Florida is such a desirable place to live.

First off, there’s the great school system. St. Johns County schools have never earned less than an A grade since district grades have been released. You can read a bit more about that here. What’s more, Nease High School achieved a rank of 80 on The Washington Post‘s 2011 High School Challenge, the highest ranking in the county.

Second, there’s the county’s commitment to using biodiesel fuel in its fleet vehicles. By turning waste vegetable oil into biodiesel, the county saves money on fuel costs and reduces air and water pollution. In fact, the county biodiesel program has significantly reduced the amount of fats, oils and greases (FOG) that would typically wind up in the sewer system. That means fewer overflows, less water pollution and significant savings on clean up costs and potential EPA fines.
