On the edge of Duval and Clay counties

At first glance, Duclay may seem like a secluded community on Jacksonville's westside. In this area, private farms and horse stables are woven between pockets of subdivisions. Ron and Janel Williams, Realtors with Watson Realty Corp., say it's typical to see someone riding down the road on horseback in this part of the city. "That's a common characteristic here. Very West Jax," says Ron Williams. However, the area is surrounded by active roadways such as Interstate 295 and the commercial route Blanding Boulevard. The eastern side of the community, called Duclay Forest, contains more greenery. Just beyond the neighborhood is the Jacksonville Naval Air Station, a major employer for the city.

Buying into Duclay

Most homes built around the turn of the 21st century have homeowners associations. New townhouses are found inside Ashers Landing Subdivision, while detached houses rest inside Westland Station. Typically, houses built over the last 25 years cost between $200,000 to almost $400,000. Older homes often range in price between $100,000 to $300,000. The area also contains a manufactured homes community, Country Roads, and apartment complexes to the south.

Heading south for shopping and dining

Residents take to Blanding Boulevard, an active commercial roadway, lined with businesses and car dealerships. Most retail and dining await to the south near Interstate 295. Seafood lovers frequent Juicy Crab, a popular spot for shrimp and crab legs. Wicked Batter Café serves sandwiches, cupcakes and has a keto-friendly menu. Argyle Village shopping center includes a Publix Super Market while Walmart Supercenter and Costco are two miles away. The farmers market on Blanding Boulevard has been a staple of Jacksonville's westside since the 1970s. Although the vendor space has recently come under new management, locals can still find antiques, clothing items and fresh produce from Wednesdays to Saturdays.

Publix is conveniently located in the Argyle Village Shopping Center.

Ringhaver Park is the main outdoor destination

Ringhaver Park is on the eastern edge, next to the Ortega River. A dense collection of pines and oaks covers the Ortega Stream Valley Trail, which leads to the waterfront. The Westside Soccer League frequently uses the public fields. Ringhaver Park received significant upgrades in recent years, including a new pickleball court and accessible playground. Locals can head to Wayne B. Stevens Boat Ramp about 5 miles north to explore the nearby rivers.

Close to I-295

Interstate 295 reaches along the western and southern sides of Duclay, leading to the rest of the city. Although most travel by car, limited public transportation options are available. The Jacksonville Transit Authority has routes down Blanding Boulevard, including the Green Line and the First Coast Flyer, a bus rapid transit service. Ascension St. Vincent's Emergency Care is three miles from the community's center. Those looking for houses of worship can attend Calvary Chapel West Jacksonville or Bhavana Meditation Center. The neighborhood is less than 5 miles from Clay County.

I feel very safe in my immediate neighborhood, although there have been incidents of cars broken into, and some houses. Outside of our immediate neighborhood, crime is worse. I also feel better in my neighborhood because of very attentive and helpful neighbors who know us.

There are not a lot of unique restaurants. It would be nice to have more variety.
