Jacksonville is one of the fastest booming metropolises in the United States; people are pulled into the area for many reasons. The First Coast has lots of shopping, Pro Football, PGA, other sporting venues, world class golfing, and it’s extremely close to the Atlantic Ocean. The many encircling lakes as well as the St Johns River make it an idea place to live. It is however, the largest city in square miles from end to end in the USA.

Presently, with over 100 cutting edge home developments sites under construction it should not be surprising that making the best decision about what areas to choose from can seem a little overwhelming. In order to make it easier to find new homes, Jacksonville should be divided into separate areas geographically.

Jacksonville has different areas with different styles to choose from. Downtown should be considered one quadrant. The Northside which has been growing at a steady pace is another. The beaches, intercoastal and Southside are all located on the east and south side of the downtown area and while clumped together they are vastly different but all close together.

Jacksonville's Northside currently has many new home development sites under way, you can find new homes and communities that range from entry level to more exclusive areas. Close to JAX International Airport this is a convenient area for those who like to travel frequently.

The Southside and intercoastal area which is developing several condominium and town home complexes are popular. These really run the gamut in price as some of the developments are along or close to the ocean. In addition, another area that is located just to the south of Jacksonville is St Johns County where you'll find the World Golf Village.

Many new homes and developments have either begun or are in the planning phase in this area. Most notably is the sprawling area along the Duval and St Johns County border known as Nocatee. This is a master planned community that really is going to be a city within a city and will offer everything.

Lastly, the Westside has a large variety of new home sites that are great for those looking to commute Downtown, or want to live close to one of the countries largest naval bases NAS Jax.

This is obviously a broad overview of the amount of new homes available in Jacksonville that developers have to offer. In order to truly search for the best home that fits your needs a professional real estate agent should be someone to consider.
