The oldest gated community in northeastern Florida
About 15 miles southeast of downtown Jacksonville, Deerwood is home to the area’s oldest gated community, anchored by the Deerwood Country Club. In 1960, long before modern developments and highways had reached the south side, the Skinner family designed Deerwood as a secluded escape from the city; today, it's still known for its quiet streetscapes dotted with palm trees and an expansive, professional-grade golf course. “Residents spend a lot of time inside the neighborhood as opposed to outside,” says Glen Morrison, a local real estate agent with Regatta REI and nearby resident of eight years.

From mid-century to modern homes
Although most of the homes here date from between the 1960s and 1980s, many were also built around the turn of the century. “It’s mostly single-family homes here, and many of them are quite large,” Morrison says. One-story French Colonial Revivals from the 1970s and '80s with prominent two-car garages can sell for $550,000, while four-bedroom ranch-style homes with brick facades sell for over $700,000. Multi-story, five-bedroom 1990s New Traditional-style homes with side-gabled roofs and arched doorways sit on large, vibrant grassy lots with winding driveways and covered backyard patios, often selling for upwards of $1.5 million. On the neighborhood’s northeast corner, some smaller gated communities and apartment complexes are unassociated with the Deerwood Country Club. In this area, newly-built New Traditional-style rowhouses with gabled roofs and fenced-in yards can sell for $500,000, while condos and townhouses with neutral-colored siding and attached one-car garages sell for around $250,000.
