Assignment #2 - Where would I live???

So I am going to take on the persona of a recent graduate with a MBA in Tourism. I am 24, I am looking for the best city for me to begin my career, and most of all I am married with no children! I start looking at cities like Las Angeles, New York, basically any major cities up and down the east and west coast. After hours and hours of doing research from my home in the desert of Arizona I came across Jacksonville, Florida and after doing a little more research on the city this is what I found... 
Jacksonville has a population of 773,800 with an average home price of 291,000 and 54” of precipitation and 0” of snow, really big things that are very appealing to my wife and I. Jacksonville is America’s youngest city with the average age being 32 and has opportunities for recreation and leisure as far as the eye can see with water being incorporated into almost everything. Everything about Jacksonville is positive, it is periodically rated one of the best cities to live in and with my major being Business Tourism I can not find a better place to live at that would offer me more than what this city offers me. Jacksonville, for me, would be the prime spot for me to start off my career and progress while at the same time having the time of my life and enjoying endless possibilities with all the nightlife and various new things to try. I feel like being a young adult between the ages of 20 and 30 I would be able to find my niche almost anywhere and in addition Jacksonville as having a huge Latino population would be a plus to both me and my wife.
We would definitely move into the center of the city, we are a couple both with good paying jobs so we will be looking into apartment/loft style living. Our occupations and what we do during our free time would be most important to us so commute times and congestion would not really bother us. Seeing as Jacksonville is an up and coming city we would be very pleased living in the city. Things that affect us and would make us relocate would be things like having a child or our occupations moving towards the outer rings of the city. Also environmental aspects like the cleanliness of the air and the rise of smog would definitely make me consider moving my family to a rural area of Jacksonville with a nice big home, nice green yard and a nice neighborhood. All this would be later in our lives because right now it would be all about just my wife and I.
