Where is the best place for a twenty something young professional to live in the Jacksonville area?

I am 27 and moving to the Jacksonville Florida area. I don’t have very much knowledge of the area. Where should I look at living if I want a nice part of town with good nightlife?

nice part of town is away from downtown (orange park comes to mind) but the good nightlife can be found along the beaches then again Ferdina Beach is very nice and peaceful as well. You already know about the Jaguars and the largest outdoor cocktail party every college season. as for affordiability it depends on your income but I can tell you this much amelia island offers homes in the 400K range and a lot of areas in the Jacksonville area are around 200k now you could go condo (about 100k) if you are into condos. Your next problem is insurance what you are paying now on your home pretty much double it when you come down here (triple if you live along the beach) . Car taxes none $35 or so for tags every year thats it. state income tax NONE. Grocery Tax NONE. Current gas prices around 2.35 (not bad) but nearby Georgia is lower. traffic NIGHTMARE especially at 5pm. two major interstates (one other is a bypass of 95) and they are jammed with constant road construction. Just take yahoo and do a home search for teh jacksonville and good luck
