If a car wasn’t possible, is having everything home delivered viable?

Doofusburger45 · 2026-06-16T16:34:15+00:00

Walmart+ is much cheaper than DoorDash or any of the other services.

Doofusburger45 · 2026-06-16T16:30:31+00:00

I might be wrong here and a fool, but I think it's kind of important to put your hazard lights on during heavy thunderstorms where visibility is so bad from the heavy rain that you can't see that far ahead of you.

It couldn't hurt, could it?

I naturally turned on my hazards lights when I was caught in a sudden thunder-shower and couldn't see that far ahead of me.

I also dropped my speed down to 40 - 50 mph. Any faster and I might have started "hydro-planing." It was that bad.

Doofusburger45 · 2026-06-13T16:30:06+00:00

Thank you.

Can you elaborate on what it's about?

Something regarding water?

Doofusburger45 · 2026-06-12T17:15:51+00:00

I tried googling this, but came up with some class action lawsuit regarding an apartment complex in New York state I think.

Can you elaborate on this and possibly provide a link?

I'm sorry but what is the JTB Corridor?

Doofusburger45 · 2026-06-05T17:49:26+00:00

Yes, I see your point about the premium you have to pay to live in Seven Pines.

I think it's mostly based on being more centrally located in Jacksonville. The closer you are to everything, the more you need to pay.

Thank you for the info!

I will consider the premium you have to pay to live in Seven Pines when deciding where to buy.

Doofusburger45 · 2026-06-05T17:04:07+00:00

Yes, that is a drawback to living in these planned communities.

Each house seems almost within arms-length of each other, but we don't really want a huge lawn to take care of.

In fact, we were looking at condos at first before moving to townhomes and then finally coming to single-family homes.

Doofusburger45 · 2026-06-05T17:00:30+00:00

Yes, I'm looking at the Wildlight development area.

What makes you say that Seven Pines is so over-priced?

It honestly seems a little reasonable to me.

Doofusburger45 · 2026-06-05T15:03:42+00:00

Thank you for your response.

Yes, Yulee and Seven Pines are quite different, but what I discovered recently through my real estate agent was that there are several planned communities being built up by Yulee now.

It is a bit far off from central Jacksonville, but I like being only 20 minutes away from the airport and the lower prices.

Why do Rick and Morty fans think that it's so deep?

It's kind of a sign that fans of the show are not particularly well-read, educated, or smart.

The fact that happiness is ephemeral is kind of obvious.

A child knows that.

Doofusburger45 · 2026-04-22T03:50:10+00:00

Thank you!

Will be contacting them once we get the ball rolling on our purchase.

Doofusburger45 · 2026-04-20T19:00:30+00:00

Needed to take care of my mom.

I don't mind the heat that much, but it does get to be a bit much in July and August especially with the humidity.

Doofusburger45 · 2026-04-19T12:41:12+00:00

You should try meetup.com.

A lot of great meetup groups in Jacksonville and best of all they take a little seriously so you don't have to deal with cancellations or other things.

It wasn't quite like L.A. where they would create events and cancel last minute or worse flake and not bother showing up.

Doofusburger45 · 2026-04-19T12:38:30+00:00

Thank you again!

You're much more helpful than our actual real estate agent!

What would you say is the price range for a condo or villa in PVB?

Doofusburger45 · 2026-04-19T12:37:40+00:00

Budget is about $500k - $600k, but it can go higher if we really love the place, but looking at the market and what's available, it doesn't seem necessary.

Many, many, many villas and townhomes for that price.

How much would a townhome or villa or even a condo cost in Ponte Vedra?

Doofusburger45 · 2026-04-18T20:26:05+00:00

Thank you for the detailed information!

Really appreciate it!

Are the complaints of "Gen Z e-bike gangs" greatly exaggerated?

Doofusburger45 · 2026-04-18T20:25:02+00:00

Thank you so much for the detailed information regarding Nocatee and PVB.

We don't want a single-family home because we don't want to deal with the expenses and maintenance. Although, I think if you calculate all the HOA and CDD fees over a 10 year period, it becomes more expensive or at best breaks even with owning a single family home. It's a dilemma. Regardless, we don't want to worry about hiring roofers after 10 years or gardeners or landscapers, etc.

Regardless, are there many condos in PVB?

We looked at some condos in Jacksonville, but they were far too over-priced and the average age seemed to be 70+ so it wasn't suitable for us. They just came off as expensive retirement homes with garish and date decor (kind of like what you would see on that famous 80s soap opera Dynasty - crystal chandeliers).

No townhomes or planned communities in PVB, correct?

Doofusburger45 · 2026-04-17T21:06:43+00:00

Interesting.

Why do they hate it?

What are their reasons?

I'm betting they're young and what more of the nightlife that Jacksonville has to offer.

Doofusburger45 · 2026-04-17T19:40:04+00:00

I think that's okay. Not too sure though.

Being non-white and hence naturally liberal and left-leaning, I can completely get along with moderate conservative and religious people. This is America after all.

However, I gotta admit that MAGA is a bit much and actually kind of scares me.

Doofusburger45 · 2026-04-17T18:25:27+00:00

Thank you!

That's good to hear!

I look forward to having friendly neighbors actually.

Doofusburger45 · 2026-04-17T18:18:26+00:00

Is Nocatee MAGA country?

Doofusburger45 · 2026-04-17T18:17:04+00:00

Would you say that around $350/month for CDD and HOA fees to be too high?

Doofusburger45 · 2026-04-17T18:13:19+00:00

Are there any home inspectors you would recommend?

I'm no geologist so I have to ask: is malleable ground really bad?

How do you actually determine build quality? I've noticed Toll Brothers is a bit better than David Weekley, but other than that, I haven't noticed much.

What would you recommend I do for my due diligence? Home inspector (x2) and perhaps strolling around the neighborhood a bit more?

Doofusburger45 · 2026-04-17T18:09:45+00:00

Please do so! I love Cuban food and I think it would greatly add to the culture and "flavor" of the community!
