Why the First Coast Apartment Association Supports a Smarter Apartment Search in Northeast Florida
Searching for an apartment in Northeast Florida shouldn’t feel like a gamble.
Too often, renters waste time navigating outdated listings, unreliable third-party websites, or platforms that don’t truly understand the local rental market — especially in fast-growing areas like Jacksonville and Duval County.
That’s why the First Coast Apartment Association (FCAA) proudly supports RentJax — a rental search platform designed to connect renters with professionally managed apartment communities throughout Northeast Florida.
A Rental Search Backed by Local Industry Professionals
The First Coast Apartment Association represents apartment communities, property management companies, and multifamily housing professionals across:
-
Duval County (Jacksonville)
-
Nassau County
-
Clay County
-
St. Johns County
-
Putnam County
-
Flagler County
Through its support of RentJax, FCAA helps ensure that renters are connected with established, professionally managed apartment communities — not anonymous or questionable listing sources.
For renters, that means more confidence and fewer surprises during the apartment search process.
Jacksonville & Duval County: The Largest Concentration of Listings
As the largest metro area in Northeast Florida, Jacksonville — located in Duval County — is home to the majority of FCAA-member apartment communities.
That concentration benefits renters by providing:
-
A high volume of active listings
-
Diverse neighborhood options

Access to professionally managed communities
At the same time, renters can easily explore surrounding counties if they’re looking for:
-
More suburban space

Coastal living options
-
Different commute considerations
-
Alternative pricing structures
The region offers flexibility — and FCAA-supported listings help make exploring it easier.
