Marietta blends country living with suburban convenience
About 15 miles from downtown Jacksonville, locals get a small taste of country living in Marietta. This westside neighborhood has southern-style barbecue, access to locally grown produce, and lush preserves brimming with salty wetlands and local history. "Marietta is a rural community that is close to the city. It is only twenty minutes from downtown, but you'll see big lots, older homes, chickens in the yard, and horses," says Ron Williams, a Realtor with Watson Realty Corp. The homes also have a rustic nod, leaning heavily toward ranch abodes.

Mix of midcentury and newer homes on spacious lots
The community has an even mix of dwellings from the second half of the 20th century to more contemporary homes built within the last ten years. Newer subdivisions include move-in ready houses with masonry facades or lapped siding. Some sections show modest manufactured homes and sturdy brick houses on spacious plots with generous setbacks. "The neighborhood retains mostly long-term homeowners, and properties don't tend to stay on the market for long," says Julie Morrow, a broker and owner of Julie Morrow Premier Realty Inc. Morrow says potential homebuyers can expect an average price range from $300,000 to $400,000. However, smaller homes around 1,000 square feet can list for under $200,000.
Many homes in the Marietta neighborhood feature large driveways and two-car garages.

The space was made accessible to locals in 2019 and contains the only natural waterfall in the city.
