The relaxed suburb of Arlingwood

The quiet suburb of Arlingwood sits minutes from Downtown Jacksonville, as well as nature reserves and retail areas. "This area is unique and different from the rest of Jacksonville. The family-oriented atmosphere is what sets Arlington apart. We have got parks, ice cream parlors and schools," says Realtor Alton McGriff with Fathom Realty, a native of Jacksonville. This type of atmosphere, along with the prices of its homes and centralized location, draws buyers to the community.

Outdoor time at Arlingwood Park and Tree Hill Nature Center

The neighborhood gets its name from its community green space, Arlingwood Park, which started development in 1953. The park offers tennis courts, a playground and picnic areas that are popular for birthday celebrations and family gatherings. Nearby, Tree Hill Nature Center offers a surprising oasis in the middle of the city. This large nature reserve has several miles of trails winding through lush forests and colorful gardens. It's also a sanctuary for dozens of animals, including pygmy goats, opossums, gators, snakes, birds and butterflies. A natural history museum offers visitors a chance to cool off while they explore the area's flora and fauna.

Shop local on Merrill Road

One of the neighborhood's biggest draws is that it's close to so much of Jacksonville's amenities, according to McGriff. "It's 10 minutes from the airport and beaches and just five minutes from downtown. You're very central so that you can get to places quicker," McGriff says. Merrill Road, which runs north of Arlingwood, has small, locally owned businesses and commercial retailers. A Walmart Neighborhood Market and a Publix are also available for grocery shopping. Restaurants in the area include Robert's Seafood & Hot to Go Kitchen, which has been serving the Jacksonville area since 1985. The eatery offers everything from popcorn shrimp and snapper filet to hot wings and snow crab. Arlingwood is 3 miles from Regency Square Mall, which has retail chains, department stores and a movie theater. Less than 10 miles away, St. John's Town Center is a more recently built outdoor shopping mall. There are upscale retail shops, big box stores like Costco and Target and grocery stores like Publix and Sprouts Organic Market. Residents can head downtown to the 15,000-seat multi-purpose VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena or The Florida Theatre for concerts, plays and sporting events.

Love my neighborhood. Quiet and peaceful. Neighbors are polite and helpful. The only complaint I would have is people speeding.

I had to move in with my husband, who was my boyfriend at the time, as I was unable to afford rent in my previous residence and the owner had to sell the property.
