Quiet suburb and home to Jacksonville University
Lining the marshy banks of the St. Johns River, the quiet suburb of Arlington Manor is located 3 miles from Downtown Jacksonville and “near the major highways, so you can get anywhere in Jacksonville within 20 to 25 minutes,” says John Mckinley, President of Noble Home Buyer LLC, who has sold homes in the neighborhood. When Jacksonville University permanently moved to Arlington Manor in 1950, blocks of houses and apartment complexes sprouted around its riverside campus, and the area remains a popular living destination for the private college’s students and faculty.
You can find nice painted wood-sided homes in the neighborhood.

Arlington Manor’s mid-century ranch-styles
Neighbors greet each other as they stroll along the narrow, sidewalk-free streets of Arlington Manor. Homes are laid out on blocks east of Jacksonville University and the surrounding apartment complexes; most are midcentury ranch-style houses with flat, grassy lawns and mature oak trees that provide shade. Set on 8,000-square-foot lots, these homes have either vinyl siding or brick exteriors, and feature driveways, carports and low-pitched roofs; prices start at $217,000 for a three-bedroom and go up to $330,000 for a four-bedroom. There's also a scattering of one-story New Traditional homes from the early 1990s that feature vinyl-siding exteriors, front-facing gables and large windows; these average $310,000 for a three-bedroom.
