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.

Plus, it has several sports facilities, including baseball fields, tennis courts and a basketball court. In 2020, the city added a dog park.

The schools have excellent grades, are very safe, and within walking distance. Everyone is friendly, helpful, and welcoming. There are plenty of places to shop and things to do with the family, and the beaches are only 15 minutes away. I feel safe raising my kids here, and if i I had to do it all over again, I would. It is one of the better areas that I've lived in, with a more relaxed and slower paced style of living. There is continual growth around the area providing more opportunities to learn, work, and have fun.
