A mid-century residential community near Orange Park
Bellair-Meadowbrook Terrace, a community of over 13,000 residents south of Jacksonville, is home to mid-20th century houses and the 953,000-square-foot Orange Park Mall. “This is a very well-established, older area near the city of Orange Park and the mall,” says Realtor Maggie Kingsley of United Real Estate Gallery. She’s sold homes across the region for nearly a decade and lives in Clay County. “The houses have been here for a while,” she says, “and they’re modestly priced and sized.” Kingsley says the area is predominantly residential, but plenty of shopping is available at its doorstep. “It’s right by Kingsley and Balding, and there’s a lot of commercial activity right there.” The military is the largest industry in the area. Bellair-Meadowbrook Terrace is located just south of the Jacksonville Naval Air Station, a leading employer in Clay County. Camp Blanding Joint Training Center, a training site for the Florida National Guard, is about 21 miles away. HCA Florida Orange Park Hospital is the community’s top private employer.
The Orange Park Mall is a great place to go to find many retailers and catch a movie.

Modest ranch-style homes from the 1960s
The median home price in Bellair-Meadowbrook Terrace is around $254,000, over $100,000 below the national median. The market is primarily single-family homes; ranch-style and midcentury modern homes are the community’s most popular styles. “Homes here typically have three to four bedrooms and measure around 1,500 square feet,” Kingsley says. Many homes date to the 1950s, but housing development wasn’t in full swing until the 1960s. There’s minimal new construction in the community. “Most new construction is farther south than this area,” Kingsley says. A few townhomes and condominiums are available north of Wells Road.
