Americans are a mobile society in more that one way. Historically, Americans move about once every seven years. Where are all those families going? Where will your next move take you; but more important where would you like it to take you?

With the growth of urbanism and the increase in the number of master planned communities, many families are emotionally attached to the community and neighborhood they reside in. When they move, they do not move very far.

Let us look at one Northeast Fl community in St Johns County, in the southern area of Jacksonville Fl that provides ample housing options for families looking for a new Jacksonville home.

Julington Creek Plantation contains homes with a broad range of size and prices, making it an ideal community for ‘moving up.’ Buyers can purchase a starter home, and overtime, purchase a much larger home. The largest home in Julington Creek was 4,872 square feet and the smallest was 1,008 square feet. This neighborhood is filled with buyers moving up or scaling down. A feeling of security is an equally important reason to stay in the same neighborhood. A secure neighborhood, along with a strong homeowner’s association, pride of ownership and a sense of strong values can develop over the years. Couple with children who have moved out may be downsizing with their empty nest. They are opting for a smaller two or 3-bedroom home instead of the large 4 to 5 bedroom home they had. With much of America’s population growing older, many buyers are noting smaller homes without stairs, and with walk in showers. There are an abundant number of reasons to consider staying in the same neighborhood for years to come.
