College Gardens/Mid-West Mobile Homes & Double-Wides for Sale

College Gardens and Mid-West in Jacksonville are historically rich neighborhoods located about two miles west of downtown, across Interstate 95. These communities, once known as Durkeeville and Sugar Hill, have roots in the Reconstruction era and early 20th century, developing as working-class Black neighborhoods. Today, they offer affordable housing options for downtown commuters, Edward Waters University community members, and those working in nearby warehouse shipping and logistics. The area features narrow shotgun houses, modest bungalows, and midcentury ranch-style homes, with a mix of renters and long-term homeowners. Home values average around $110,000, with properties ranging from dilapidated homes available for $20,000 to new constructions reaching up to $200,000. The median household income is significantly lower than the national average. Emmett Reed Park and James P. Small Park provide recreational spaces, while the S-Line Urban Greenway offers a 3.3-mile trail for joggers and dog walkers, featuring a mosaic honoring the history of Sugar Hill. The neighborhood lacks extensive shopping and dining options, with only a few fast-food restaurants, take-out spots, and mini-marts. However, the Jacksonville Farmers Market on Beaver Street is a notable highlight. Kings Road connects the community to downtown Jacksonville, facilitating easy commutes by car or bus, and the UF Health Jacksonville Hospital is within walking distance.
