Comfort and convenience in Mandarin Station

Less than 20 miles south of downtown Jacksonville and 20 miles inland from the Atlantic Coast, the suburban neighborhood of Mandarin Station attracts families who want a slower-paced lifestyle with convenience to amenities. “It’s very close to grocery shopping, restaurants and highly rated public and private schools,” says area native Cathy Sloan, a Realtor with Re/Max. Just east of the St. Johns River, Mandarin Station also attracts buyers looking for easy access to fishing, boating and other water recreation. “Lots of people here own boats since it’s just a short drive to the launch point in Mandarin,” Sloan says.

More affordable options compared to surrounding areas

Quiet, leafy and sidewalk-lined subdivisions span the neighborhood, all cushioned by open green space and some with ponds. Mid-size ranch-style homes date to the late 1970s, while most listings are larger, brand-new Craftsman-style models; well-maintained, grassy lawns can sprawl up to two acres. “Homes here are generally more affordable than in Mandarin and other surrounding areas,” Sloan says. "The ranch-style homes tend to be around $300,000 to $400,000, with 1,600 to 2,000 square feet and three bedrooms." Spreading as much as 4,000 square feet and up to five bedrooms, new-construction homes commonly range from $500,000 to $700,000, while some can go for up to $1 million.
