Accessible coastal living with easy regional connections

This pedestrian-friendly environment allows residents to enjoy the coastal lifestyle without heavy reliance on personal vehicles for day-to-day needs. For those who prefer two wheels, the area is very bikeable. The flat terrain and network of bike lanes make cycling a practical and enjoyable option for short trips around the neighborhood and along the coastline. While public transit options are limited in the immediate vicinity, the area's road network provides easy access to the greater Jacksonville region.
