Centrally located area 15 minutes from Jacksonville
Arlington Hills, 15 minutes from Jacksonville, is a community close to everything. Arlington Hills was one of the first built-out neighborhoods after the construction of the Mathews Bridge in 1953, which connected the Arlington area to the Jacksonville area. “You’re about 15 minutes from downtown, 20 minutes to the airport, 25 to the beach,” says Amy Feick, realtor with eXp Realty. “It’s really centrally located.” Arlington Hills is 5 minutes from Jacksonville University, a private liberal arts college that gives back to the community through the Communities in Schools of Jacksonville program. University students mentor youth at risk of dropping out at the local Terry Parker High School and Arlington Middle School.

Condos and townhouses with single-family homes
Arlington Hills has many residences that are nestled close together in subdivisions, filled with a mixture of orderly gridlines and curvy roadways. Along these streets are homes built between the 1960s to the 2010s. Minimal traditional houses sit within the same neighborhood as split-levels, ranch-style buildings and Mid-century modern structures. “It’s a nice neighborhood, quiet and across from the river,” says Feick. “Good for first-time home buyers and families, one of the more affordable zip codes east of the river.” Homes in the area range in price from $160,000 to $415,000. Single-family condos and townhouses go for $160,000 to $250,000, while single-family homes go for $200,000 to $415,000.
The Neighborhood is laid out in a nice grid in some areas.

Rondette Park is a go-to community gathering space. The grounds contain four youth baseball diamonds often utilized by the Rondette Athletic Association. Past the sporting fields is Southern Pond, guarded by dense woods. “This section of Arlington attracts locals who love the water, like recreational boaters and fishers,” says Millie Kaynar, Broker Associate at Watson Realty Corporation and longtime Charter Point resident.

Response time by emergency vehicles is a bit slow but logical, reaction time by police officers can be 20-minutes slow depending upon the crime reported but the proximity to these resources is relatively close by Jacksonville's standards.

due to the spread out nature of my city community is spread among area set groups where people will identify with those groups

There are several nearby gyms but I wouldn't trust the nearest hospital (Memorial Hospital) as they have a bad reputation for messing up simple procedures and extending stays
