As President of the Northeast Florida Builders Association, I would like to welcome you to the First Coast – an area that not only offers an outstanding quality of life for residents, but one that also provides exciting new opportunities for business. The First Coast is a relocation destination for several reasons. Our climate is sunny and mild yearround. We have miles of beautiful beaches, the largest urban park system in the U.S., premier golf courses, a generous diversity of arts and cultural events and an abundance of recreational opportunities. The area offers five of the top 10 school districts in the state, healthcare, and affordable housing. The Northeast Florida Building community has many positive economic indicators on the horizon. Several banking institutions have headquarters and offices in Jacksonville, making it a powerful financial center. The Jacksonville Port Authority is expanding, drawing many international shipping companies to do business here. The transportation and distribution, manufacturing, healthcare, and insurance industries are also growing faster than the rest of the nation. We are poised to welcome new businesses to Northeast Florida and provide a quality of life matched by no other. We will also roll out the “red carpet” for the military men and women who are assigned to serve at one of our three major regional military bases. We thank our service members for their sacrifices and desire to serve and look forward to placing them in high quality housing. As a new resident of Northeast Florida, your search for a home will be welcomed with diverse options. There is a tremendous variety of new home communities located throughout the eight-county area. There are family-oriented communities with indoor and outdoor amenities, luxury waterfront homes, maintenance-free condos and townhomes, golf course homes, and even communities designed for horse lovers. Whether you are looking for a starter home or a luxury retirement home, First Coast builders have thousands of floorplans in every price range. With a low cost of living and high quality of life, the First Coast has a lot to offer newcomers. The First Coast Relocation Guide™ can help you search for the perfect community to live in and help you find your new home. Welcome Home!
