Social Find Friends Monthly *Megathread!*
Hey r/Jacksonville
We have noticed a growing number of posts from people looking to make new friends and talking about how hard it can feel to meet people organically lately. You are not alone, and we want to help channel that energy into something positive and consistent for the community.
Welcome to Friend Finder Friday, a weekly thread where you can introduce yourself, share your interests, and see if anyone else is looking to connect.
This thread is strictly for PLATONIC friendships.
R4R, dating, hookup, or romantic-seeking comments will be removed. There are other spaces on Reddit for that. This is not one of them.
How this works
- Drop a comment about yourself
- Share hobbies, interests, age range, general area, or what kind of friendships you are looking for
- Browse other comments and reply if you think you might vibe
This thread is meant to reduce individual friend-seeking posts while giving everyone a centralized place to connect in a low pressure way.
Important safety note
r/Jacksonville and its moderation team are not responsible for any interactions, relationships, falling outs, stolen hoodies, situationships, pregnancies resulting from not staying platonic, awkward silences, ghosting, or failed or deeply weird meetups that happen as a result of this thread.
We will, however, consider taking full credit for any new besties, lifelong friendships, successful trivia teams, DND parties that actually meet consistently, gym accountability partners, concert buddies, kickball championships, overwhelming fun, critical success rolls, or the discovery of your new favorite taco spot.
As always, use common sense. Be safe. Meet in public. And please, for the love of all that is good, keep it platonic.
Please:
- Vet everyone thoroughly before meeting in person
- Do not share personal information too quickly
- Use caution when exchanging social media or phone numbers
- Meet in public places if you decide to meet offline
- Bring a friend
- Tell people where you are going and with whom
- Share your location with a trusted person
- Trust your instincts and use common sense
If something feels off, walk away. Your safety comes first.
Any comments that are creepy, harassing, romantic-seeking, or otherwise violate subreddit rules will be removed.
Be kind. Be respectful. Keep it platonic. Hopefully make a new friend or two. 💙
See you next Friday.

Church of Eleven 22
jaxdailyrecord.comNow expanding into ponte vedra and recently purchased the glass factory event space. It baffles me how many people in Jax (and around the country) support this church and its infiltration into our communities without providing resources or financial aid to those struggling in their own backyards. Nothing shows the love of Jesus like purchasing large real estate properties all over Florida!

Reputable HVAC Companies?
I'm looking for companies that are the polar opposite of Lickety-Split. Places that actually care about their customers, give fair pricing, and have technicians that actually know what they are doing.
Our 15-yr old HVAC is giving up the ghost and has been running non-stop, while barely able to keep the house cool.
I got quoted $9,700 for a 3-ton system. I'd like to get another 2-3 quotes to compare and negotiate this with.
Does anyone have an HVAC company they can vouch for?
And again, no mentions of Lickety-Split! It's my opinion that company is ran a bunch of bottom-feeding consumer-hating parasites.

Does anyone know a mechanic who can do an electrical diagnostic on my car that doesn’t charge an arm and a leg ?

Rear-ended at a red light and the driver says I stopped too suddenly??
I was stopped at a red light on my motorcycle when the car behind me hit me and knocked me off the bike. I ended up hurting my leg and arm pretty badly and had to get checked out after. Now the driver is saying I stopped too suddenly, which I really don’t understand because the light was red and I was already stopped. Has anyone dealt with something like this before? I’m mostly worried about them trying to twist the story and make it sound like I caused it.

🚫The villas at ortega
⚠️ BEWARE — PLEASE READ BEFORE RENTING HERE ⚠️
I lived at The Villas at Ortega from 2022 until 2026, and unfortunately, this was one of the worst rental experiences my family has had.
The photos attached are actual photos from the apartment where my wife and I lived. They show damaged flooring, mold around the ceiling vent, a deteriorated bathtub, poor bathroom conditions, and pest issues. I also attached documentation showing that we lived at this address.
I always paid my $1,800 monthly rent on time. However, the condition of the apartment was not the only problem. Our experience with the new office staff was extremely disappointing.
My disabled partner, who recently had surgery, visited the leasing office several times regarding maintenance issues. After one visit, she came home in tears because she felt she had been treated disrespectfully and mocked.
I also experienced behavior from an employee that I considered hostile and unprofessional. He slammed his hand on the desk and challenged me to come to the office. Management can review their security camera footage from that day to see what occurred.
I was told that if I did not sign a one-year lease, I had to leave. I asked to remain month-to-month temporarily while searching for another home and offered to continue paying rent, but my request was denied. On July 2, 2026, I received a 7-day notice to vacate.
After years of paying rent, my family deserved better treatment and better living conditions.
This review reflects my personal experience. I am documenting everything with photos and records and pursuing my rights through the legal process.
If you are considering renting here, I strongly recommend visiting the property yourself, carefully inspecting the exact apartment you will receive, asking questions, and making your own decision before signing a lease.

Looking for apartment recs!
Hi there! So me and my partner just found out we’re moving to Jacksonville in 3-4 weeks for a job opportunity. We have never lived in Florida so we aren’t totally sure where to start when it comes to finding an apartment and would love some recs! Our top choice right now is Alexander pointe in orange park, but I’ve heard commuting from there to Jacksonville SUCKS so I’m conflicted. Here is what we’re looking for:
Budget: 1400/month MAX preferably in the 1000-1200 range
1-2 bedrooms (we’d like to have some sort of office space even if that’s just a dining room we put a desk in)
Pet friendly
7-8 month lease
In unit washer and dryer
Things we’d like to have:
No carpets
Easy commute to downtown and the beach
Be in a good area with lots to do
Outdoor space (patio, small yard, etc)
I know the budget will make it hard to find stuff but we don’t need a super nice luxury apartment as long as it’s clean and doesn’t have pest problems.
