Contemporary subdivisions and suburban convenience in Southwest Jacksonville
Growing rapidly in southwest Jacksonville, Chimney Lakes and Argyle Forest offer a relaxed and convenient suburban lifestyle with top-rated schools, lush green spaces and plenty of places to shop and eat. “The community is mostly made up of older folks. When they sell or move out, it’s often younger families moving in to go to the local elementary school there because it’s very convenient,” says Victoria Gregory, a local agent with Shoe Realty. “It’s mostly single-family homes, but there are some townhouses too — no condos or apartments, so it’s almost all homeowners.”
You can find homes of all sizes in Argyle Forest and Chimney Lakes.
Chimney Lakes/Argyle Forest has connections to anywhere in the city via its surface streets.

A quick drive downtown and close to tons of shopping and dining
Situated between Interstate 295 and the new First Coast Expressway toll road, the community is largely made up of contemporary residential subdivisions clustered around small lakes and ponds. The curvilinear neighborhood streets and cul de sacs are often quiet with very little drive-thru traffic, as there are multiple ways to access each section along Argyle Forest Boulevard, Collins Road and Old Middleburg Road, the three main arterial roads in the community. While the suburban community is nearly 20 miles from downtown, residents are just a short drive away from several shopping malls and commercial town centers with supermarkets, national retailers and a wide variety of casual eateries and fast-food restaurants.

Colonial-influenced homes average about $300,000
Many of the area’s homes are a few decades old now. But around the First Coast Expressway, new residential housing tracts are on the rise. "Chimney Lakes/Argyle Forest has a lot of older houses, but what is unique is the current uptick in new construction. So you will have seasoned homes and newer builds in one area,” says Janel Williams, a local real estate agent with Watson Realty Corp. “That shows the attraction of this particular neighborhood--the community is growing, and people are buying in.” The developments in Chimney Lakes and Argyle Forest are contemporary but influenced by Colonial architectural themes: white arched windows, symmetrical designs and cross-hipped roofs. Craftsman and Mediterranean styles also inform some of the home styles with stucco-clad exteriors and arched doorways on ranch-style homes. Homes in the community typically average about $300,000 with a mix of newly built homes and properties developed in the 1980s and ’90s. Small homes under 1,000 square feet and fixer-uppers that need repairs typically start at around $150,000. The most expensive homes in the community reach around $450,000 and span more than 2,500 square feet with four or more bedrooms.

GreatSchools:
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I am new to this particular area. It is an area that has been developed over the last few years. There are several restaurants and shops and it is close to two parts of town that I previously lived in. I am thankful I get to live in this clean area. The pricing for my single parent is slightly high. The atmosphere is nice.

My rating is "It's okay" because a lot of the shops in this area are fairly new, as in under 5 years and they are chain stores. I would prefer some of the mom and pop shops, organic supermarkets, or even a bookstore.
