Dock Junction has affordable homes near Turtle River
The Dock Junction community offers budget-friendly living in the northern reaches of Brunswick. It's a convenient location for buyers -- Interstate 95 and major roads runs through here -- which is its primary draw, according to Realtor Deanne Cohrs with Keller Williams, a former Brunswick resident. "The biggest thing is that people can easily commute to the big areas around there; it's really accessible," Cohrs says. "It's a car-dependent area, but you can reach the major retail area in a few minutes. You can also easily get to downtown -- its restaurants, the historic district and the different shops or events there." In addition to commercial areas, Dock Junction is close to the Turtle River and various parks where residents can get outdoors. Schools are well-rated here, too, so families may find this area desirable.

Some local eateries include the Hungry Crab, a colorful seafood boil joint, and Tup Tim Thai Cuisine, which offers rich, fragrant curries and noodle dishes. More options are available on New Jessup Highway, which has a Winn-Dixie and more dining establishments like 1800 Mexican Restaurant, a popular place for margaritas and enchiladas.
