Welcome To The First Coast As the voice of real estate for the region, the Northeast Florida Association of REALTORS® (NEFAR) is delighted to welcome you to the First Coast. We know you won’t be sorry about your decision to relocate to this area of the Sunshine State. Our region offers many miles of sandy beaches within a vast six-county area that is divided by a mighty river and anchored by the rapidly growing urban landscape of Jacksonville, which is not only Florida’s largest city, but also the largest metropolitan area – land-wise – in the nation. To live and work in Northeast Florida is to live in what many consider a vacation paradise. Along with warm temperatures and sunny skies, our region is a world-class arts destination with eclectic museums and worldrenowned street art. Fresh and saltwater fishing, surfing, coastal and ethnic cuisine, craft breweries, and professional and recreational sports are abundant, including NFL football and PGA golf. Surrounding Jacksonville’s urban landscape, which includes the largest park system in the United States, are several institutions of higher learning, and the headquarters of some of the nation’s top companies. With a strong economy and an increasing foreign business presence, employment opportunities abound. A hub for the healthcare, finance, and insurance industries, Northeast Florida is also a military center that employs 17,000 active-duty personnel and civilians. With the advent of the Coronavirus pandemic, residents from throughout the United States have been lured to our affordable region with its low property taxes and absence of state income tax. And as far as housing goes, Northeast Florida has it all – oceanfront mansions, waterfront cottages, country-club communities, quaint historic homes, riverfront high rises, and oceanfront condominiums, all with the latest technological advances. As a newcomer to Florida’s First Coast, you will most certainly want to avail yourself of the services of a REALTOR®, and that is where the Northeast Florida Association of REALTORS® can help.
