Rather nice neighborhood. Lately the thief do not settle for bad neighborhood anymore, they go for the good ones too, or especially.

About 90% of Jacksonville's homicides happen in one zipcode; a "no-go" triangle-shaped area that the cops refer to as the "cease fire" zone. If you don't live there, you have no reason to venture there. As such, despite Jacksonville being pretty violent, most of us are insulated from the violence.

Sadly, the perception is this is starting to change. I live in a nice subdivision close to where this crime occurred. In fact, the burglars had previously broken into a house right down the street. It's a developing subdivision and until recently, we used to only have thefts at the vacant lots under construction. Thieves would steal appliances from empty homes and teens would check car handles for unlocked doors but now it's getting a lot more brazen. Doors being kicked in, home invasions, etc.

Stay locked and loaded.
