Peaceful living on the Intracoastal Waterway
Girvin is a collection of well-maintained subdivisions outside Jacksonville along the Intracoastal Waterway, surrounded by swaths of lush marshes, quiet creeks and pine woods. The neighborhood is close to a bustling retail corridor and a short drive from the Atlantic Ocean. The homes also have a location that draws buyers to the area. "You cannot get waterfront lots like this anywhere else in Jacksonville, so close to the beach. On Girvin Road, there are lots sized from one to five acres," explains Crystal Moyer, a 13-year Realtor with Peninsula Properties Realty Inc.
Many residents of Girvin enjoy walks near the Intercostal waterway.

Ranch-style homes, New Traditionals and Queen's Harbour
The community consists of various subdivisions winding around patches of forests and marshes. Many homes were built during and after the 1980s, and many homes on the market have been updated. The southern section of Girvin has ranch-style homes, New Traditional homes and split levels, with prices ranging between $350,000 and $425,000. The Queen's Harbour Yacht & Country Club gated community comprises Girvin's central and northern sections. Moyer says that Queen's Harbour offers residents a beautiful community with manmade lagoons, verdant grounds, and a private marina that only retains freshwater. The community offers homes overlooking marshes along the Intracoastal Waterway and sprawling New Traditional estates, typically priced between $800,000 and $3 million. "It's a special community," says Realtor Jim Grigg with Re/Max Specialists, who has lived in Queen's Harbour for eight years. "It's the kind of place where we know our neighbors by name and have block parties. It's very family-friendly and well-maintained. We're also one of the last waterfront communities with a lock system for boats to come in and out, so it’s a unique opportunity for boaters.”

To the north of the neighborhood, Theodore Roosevelt Area at Timucuan Preserve is a quiet greenspace with miles of well-maintained trails meandering throughout marshy wetlands and flatwoods. The trails follow creeks that lead to the St. Johns River and the Intracoastal Waterway. With access to the waterway, boaters can navigate it to the Atlantic Ocean, and anglers can fish for trout or mackerel underneath the Atlantic Boulevard Bridge. Girvin is surrounded by golf courses, including the neighborhood's Queen's Harbour Yacht and Country Club.
Dog lovers often take their puppies to Abess Park to play fetch.

St. Johns Town Center is 10 miles from the community, offering big-box stores like Target and Costco, retail outlets and chain restaurants like Maggiano's Italian.

I cannot say much about the employment quality here, because I've only ever had one job, a lifeguard at Jacksonville Beach.

Most of the people I went to school with, at a school of the arts, were extremely diverse. I went to school with transgenders, bisexual kids, gay kids, straight kids, you name it. I enjoyed, though, how no one was judged for being different. I don't know if i can say the same for the rest of my city, though, but i can hope that they treat everyone with the same kindness that i experienced at my high school. The overall friendliness of people here I cannot say much about. There have been riots, fights, and crime, however there have also been wonderful accounts of community outreach and service towards others.
