Jacksonville 2nd Best Place to Live in Florida in 2024 by Forbes

While Jacksonville holds the honor of being Florida’s largest city by land mass, its combined metro area population is smaller than that of Miami or Tampa. You can enjoy big city conveniences and live on the Atlantic Ocean-yet the living costs are relatively affordable.

Banking, health care and transportation are the seven-county metro area’s biggest employment opportunities. The city is also home to one of the nation’s three Mayo Clinics and offers access to many of Florida’s best banks.
