Jacksonville is a scenic and strategic location excellent for both working and living. Naval Air Station Jacksonville NAS Jax, and Naval Station Mayport both reside in Jacksonville Florida. While active military workers provide a considerable number of jobs, it is also a popular destination for military personnel that exit the military or retire. In fact, the city is one of the most popular "points of exit" for Navy personnel. After being stationed in Jacksonville, numerous military families elect to make Jacksonville their home after leaving the armed services. The Jacksonville area is the third largest naval concentration in the world after Norfolk, and San Diego. Given the sustained military presence within Jacksonville over the years, many fine home communities can be found conveniently close to both facilities.
