A suburb close to the coast and downtown Jacksonville
East Arlington is the suburban middle ground of Atlantic Beach's gentle surf and Jacksonville's active downtown. "It's the perfect balance," says local Realtor Andrew Young of United Real Estate Gallery. He grew up in East Arlington and recently bought a house 10 minutes from his childhood home. "It's great for people who want to be close to the beach but don't want to worry about the threat of flooding. It's also central to pretty much everything in Jacksonville." Plus, East Arlington is community-oriented, according to Young. "It's friendly, and the neighbors are good," Young says. "They keep an eye on your house." Housing prices are on par with those in the Greater Jacksonville Area but still lower than those on the coast.
Beautiful scenery surrounds you throughout East Arlington.

Sunny days at Leonard Abess Park
Leonard Abess Park opened to the public in 1994 and became an East Arlington staple in the following decades. It's next to Abess Park Elementary School, so it's a popular spot for the kids after school. The park features several playscapes, a splash pad and a few picnic shelters. Plus, it has several sports facilities, including baseball fields, tennis courts and a basketball court. In 2020, the city added a dog park. Some subdivisions feature pocket parks, like the Ashley Woods Neighborhood Park, which features a playset and a few swings. The Blue Sky Golf Club runs an 18-hole golf course adjacent to Craig Airport. The Arnold Palmer-designed course just underwent a massive, million-dollar renovation and features a full bar and grill.

There are a lot of mom-and-pop shops here. There is a large variety of stores so it is very easy to find almost everything you need. Businesses thrive in this city because the city is so large. Popular stores are Walmart, Target, Winn Dixie, Publix, Walgreens/CVS, many department stores, TJmaxx/Marshalls, Ross Dress for Less.
