One of Jacksonville's Beach communities

Atlantic Beach, a North Florida community, showcases a relaxed outdoor lifestyle and a lively commercial district between the brackish Intracoastal Waterway and the coastline. "We like to get on our bikes and ride down the beach. Everyone is out walking or riding a bike," says Terris Bennett, an Atlantic Beach resident and Realtor with KW Commercial Atlantic Partners. "You will barely see a local driving a car. You can go to a restaurant, stop at a bar or go to a little shop all in one day. And it's Super family-friendly." Although Atlantic Beach is its own city, it is also a part of Jacksonville Beaches, known locally as "The Beaches."

"For the most part, Atlantic Beach is a bedroom community with a lot of oceanfront properties. It's an older community with quaint beach bungalows. Some people are renovating these homes or creating new constructions," Bennett says. Adding to the beachfront area are top-rated schools and a local golfing hot spot, Atlantic Beach Country Club.

Locals enjoy wetlands, sand and park spaces

Atlantic Beach showcases 2 miles of shoreline with 14 access points along the coast. The city offers paid permits for locals who wish to light a cozy fire on the beach during the winter. Further inland awaits more recreational opportunities. To the far west is Dutton Island Preserve, where kayakers can launch off marshy banks to explore the channels of the Intracoastal. The preserve is a prime spot for fishing and admiring sunset views. Pet owners can socialize in the afternoon at Atlantic Beach Dog Park while athletic residents play pickleball and tennis at Donner Park. "Jack Russell Park is next to the Atlantic Beach Police Station. The park has baseball games and a Sunday farmers market," Bennett says.

Living in a cozy bungalow or a brand new beach house

Like most coastal towns, houses closer to the ocean generally come with a higher price tag. "If you're looking west of Seminole Road but east of Mayport, you may be able to get something small, in the lower $700,000s or a townhome in the high $400,000s," Bennett says. "Anything east of Seminole will be over $1 million." Some of the largest homes in the area list for upwards of $3 million. Bennett says that many older homes have been replaced with new, larger constructions. "From an investment standpoint, there's increasingly more opportunity for flipping a property. Atlantic Beach doesn't allow Airbnbs, so there is a minimum three-month rental period," Bennett explains. Although the community consists of mostly single-family residences, there are a few available apartment buildings. Beaches Habitat for Humanity is committed to building over 40 townhouse units to bring more affordable housing to the area.

Community events celebrating a beachy lifestyle

The community has hosted The Beaches Tour of Homes for the past few years, showcasing the area's diverse architecture. Bennett says the event is a fundraiser for the Town Center. "There is also the BTCA Golf Classic in April and Dancin' in the Streets in May." For over 35 years, Dancin' in the Streets has been an annual festival with live music and local food vendors crowding the Town Center.

Atlantic Blvd. leads to the Town Center

Atlantic Boulevard is a busy thoroughfare brimming with retail plazas and shopping centers. Here, shoppers can reach Publix Super Market and national pharmacies. At the end of Atlantic Boulevard is Beaches Town Center, one of North Florida's prime retail and dining districts. Locals can shop at storefronts or sit down for a meal. Ocean Resort and Spa anchors this vibrant beach hot spot. Although tourists frequent the hotel, locals also come out on weekends for food and drinks with friends. Residents visit North Beach Fish Camp to order from the bar and savor traditional seafood options. At Poe's Tavern, patrons can pay homage to the poet and author while enjoying American-style fare. Although the area hosts a collection of local eateries, chains like Hawkers Asian Street Food are also popular.

Attending top Duval County public schools

Atlantic Beach Elementary, the only public school in the community, has a B-plus grade from Niche. Older students travel just outside the area to attend Mayport Middle, a public magnet with a B grade from Niche. The middle school's Coastal Sciences Magnet Program offers agricultural studies and STEAM electives. Duncan Fletcher High is considered among the top high schools in Duval County, earning an A-minus grade.

Getting in and out of the area

Atlantic Boulevard stretches from the coast to Interstate 295, which loops around Jacksonville and leads to Interstate 95. Atlantic Beach locals have an advantage in parking over tourists and visitors. "There isn't much public parking available. But if you have an Atlantic Beach sticker, you won't have to pay for parking," Bennett says.
