An east Jacksonville suburb that's undergoing a few changes
Over the Matthews Bridge and the St. Johns River is Arlington, an east Jacksonville community that's been around for a few generations. "It's a well-established, older neighborhood that's right outside our urban core," says local Realtor Alicia Slater of Momentum Realty. She was born and raised in Neptune Beach, about 12 miles from Arlington. "It fell into disrepair a little bit, but they're starting to revive the neighborhood." Several homes have been remodeled and new developments, like the College Park Shopping Center, are starting to pop up. Local Realtor Tom Moore of Watson Realty Corporation grew up in Arlington and has noticed the growth and redevelopment first-hand. "New businesses are moving in," Moore says. "It's exciting for people who have wanted the area to return to its greatness." The nearby Jacksonville University plays a significant role in Arlington's growth by investing in these new developments and inviting a wave of new people to the neighborhood.
The view of Arlington shows a transforming neighborhood in action.
Many of the homes in the area have been remodeled and are very desirable.
