Moving to Jacksonville, Looking to "House Hack"

[Richard Benjamin Wilhite]

I'm looking for advice on areas of Jacksonville or nearby to buy a 2-4 unit property for a personal residence with a small family. I'm familiar with Avalon and Riverside and would like to know if there are any other good areas to consider that are safe and have good schools nearby. My daughter will be school age a year or so after we move in.

I'd love if the property would cash-flow after we move out, but the neighborhood and appreciation potential is the biggest concern for me. This would be our second duplex house hack, and while it's been a great investment, the neighbor our current duplex is located in is not the worst, but not the greatest either, especially when it comes to school district.
