North Jacksonville Homes
North Jacksonville is the fastest growing Real Estate area within Duval County. The majority of our showcased homes communities are located in the “New Northside” area, or North of North Jacksonville (Oceanway, Airport), which was very rural up until the last decade. Due to the low cost of land, many of our showcased communities have homes more affordable than anywhere East of the St. Johns River, and it is still relatively convenient to Downtown, Beaches, JIA Airport, the Southside, and much more due to being located along the 9A Beltway around Jacksonville. As you move closer towards downtown Jacksonville, you will run into our Old Northside area, which is mostly low income housing. Directly North of downtown Jacksonville is historic Springfield. Once a vibrant area with turn of the century colonial mansions and brick paved streets, the area went downhill in the 1960’s-1970’s, but Springfield is currently going through a major revitalization and is quickly becoming one of the places to live in the area. The majority of our Condo Communities grouped in with North Jacksonville are actually IN Downtown Jacksonville!!
West Jacksonville Homes
The Westside encompasses a very large area in Jacksonville starting just north of I-10 all the way south to Clay County, bordered on the east by I-295 and stretching west to Baker County and east to Riverside. Four small incorporated towns make up the Westside: Baldwin, Marietta, Maxville and Whitehouse. Other neighborhoods on this side of Jacksonville are Ortega, Argyle, Lakeshore, Venetia, Riverside, Avondale, Cedar Hills, Hyde Grove, Murray Hill and Normandy. Both NAS Jacksonville and NAS Cecil Field are located here, as well as Herlong Airport, a small, general aviation fixed base operation. Homes and condos are available in all sizes and price ranges. Keep in mind that many homes and condos in the West Jacksonville Real Estate area are 10% or more lower priced than East of the St. Johns River. However, location and convenience is the sacrifice. West Jacksonville is less convenient to the Jacksonville Beaches, as well as the most popular shopping, dining, and business areas. In addition, most parts of West Jacksonville is NOT known for having the top school districts in the area.
Southside Jacksonville Real Estate
The Southside area of Jacksonville encompasses a very large area of town, and many areas of Jacksonville Real Estate are pigeonholed into the “Southside Area”, even though they are part of their own areas. In general, the southside area encompasses all of Jacksonville between the Intracoastal Waterway all the way west to The St. Johns River. San Marco is a historic riverfront community with a town center, located next to downtown Jacksonville. San Jose is located along several miles of the St. Johns River, and is home to The Bolles School, one of the most exclusive schools in Florida.
Interstate 95 runs directly through the center of this area, making the Southside a convenient location for commuting. Because of this convenience, anywhere west of the Southside Jacksonville Real Estate Area, (or West of the St. Johns River) Homes are typically a minimum of 10% cheaper than East of the St. Johns River. The Southside is also home to all of the most popular shopping areas in Jacksonville. Due to the size of the area, Southside Jacksonville offers an extremely diverse supply of homes and Condos to suite any budget and lifestyle. Due to the large area on the Southside, the majority of our showcased communities are broken down into other sections. If it is a condominium you are looking for, we group in Arlington Condos with Southside, even though we also have separate condo sections for Baymeadows, Mandarin, and Intracoastal West areas. Also see the Intracoastal West Area, Baymeadows Area, and Mandarin for MANY for communities! Sound confusing? See the map above for a general reference.
Baymeadows Area Real Estate
Perhaps one of the most conveniently located areas in Northeast Florida, Baymeadows truly has something for everyone. The Baymeadows area is very convenient to the beaches, downtown, and the best shopping and entertainment Jacksonville and Northeast Florida has to offer. Prior to the 1970’s the Baymeadows area was very rural, but in recent years the area has been consistently developed. It has quickly flourished into one of the most populare areas to live in. Home to perhaps the highest concentration of apartment complexes in the area, many of which have been converted to condos with the recent Real Estate boom. Many new home communities have been developed since the early 1990s in the area due to its prime location, and new condominiums have sprung up all over the place as well in recent years as well.

Jacksonville Beach Real Estate
The Jacksonville Beaches stretch from the Atlantic Ocean on the East, to the Intracoastal Waterway on the West. The Jacksonville Florida Beaches Area is another area that has gone through a major Real Estate boom in the last 10 years. Up until recent years, Jacksonville beach was one of the only coastlines of a major metropolitan city that lacked oceanfront condominiums. This has changed since the turn of the century, and Jacksonville Beach is now lined with skyrise luxury oceanfront condominiums. Jacksonville Beach Home prices soared as well in the last decade, as savvy investors came in and restored and updated all of the older homes in the area. Also grouped in with the Jacksonville Beaches area is Neptune Beach, Atlantic Beach, and Mayport. Neptune Beach is a small stretch of beach less than one mile long, but has a more private feel than Jacksonville beach. Atlantic beach is located directly at the corner of Atlantic Blvd and 3rd street. There you will find charming shops and diners all over the place, with a unique laid back Florida feel to the area.

I do not have areas of St. Augustine Homes broken down quiet as good as Jacksonville Real Estate, and my expertise is mainly North of Downtown St. Augustine Florida. I do however also have EVERY community profiled in the Nocatee Real Estate Area, World Golf Village Area, and NW St. Johns County. Please see those areas to find St. Augustine Real Estate and Homes! These areas have put St. Johns county Florida on the map as one of the fastest growing counties in the country!
