From an orange grove to a Jacksonville suburb
The North Florida enclave of Fruit Cove, originally an orange grove along the St. Johns River, has steadily developed into a community of over 30,000 living comfortably in the suburbs of Jacksonville. “It’s a little bit more like old Florida; there are lots of trees and a lot of green,” says Erica Jolles, a real estate agent with Round Table Realty.

Wide Selection and low HOA activity
The median price for homes here is $557,000, higher than Florida’s and the national median. Jolles says that home styles are “definitely not cookie-cutter.” Residences can vary from ranch to Mediterranean-inspired, as well as New Traditional and Craftsman styles. There is also a selection of Colonial Revival mansions on the river. Jolles says Fruit Cove has very little HOA activity, with most properties not being part of any association. Workshops or other small businesses on private properties are found throughout the city. She also noted that people moving to the area include a mix of retirees and those looking to get away from larger subdivisions.
Newly constructed neighborhoods continue to pop up in Fruit Cove.

Crime and hurricane activity in Fruit Cove
