Small community in South Jacksonville with busy roads
Spring Park is part of a busy area in South Jacksonville, sandwiched between buzzing Interstate 95 and Atlantic Boulevard. Commuters are heading into downtown, about 3 miles west, and travelers are jetting to the beach about 15 miles east. "It's near major highways, with downtown Jacksonville close by," says Fatima Latic, property manager at the local Stonemont Village Apartments. "You're also not far from popular beaches." While cars frequent surrounding roadways, the community's residential streets stay pretty quiet – lined with mature trees and decades-old homes. "It's popular with investors and younger families with kids," says local Realtor Alicia Slater of Momentum Realty. She's sold homes in the area for nearly five years. "It's great for people that don't want an HOA. They can have chickens in their backyards if they want." Investors purchase many of the community's older homes, remodel and rent them out, leading to over half of the community's residents being renters.
The Spring Park neighborhood is full of beautiful scenery and landscapes.

Ranch-styles and multi-family homes
Most homes were built between the 1940s and the early '60s. Buyers will mostly find single-family, ranch-style homes that measure anywhere between 900 and 1,600 square feet with three bedrooms. A few bungalows and cottages line roads like Faws Street and a couple of contemporary colonials live throughout the neighborhood. Single-family homes usually list between $130,000 and $350,000, but a few newly constructed and renovated homes sell between $350,000 and $500,000. "As an older, more established neighborhood, you can find more affordable housing here than in many other parts of Jacksonville," Latic says. Multi-family homes, including the duplexes and quadplexes along Belden Circle, are typically picked up by investors. They usually list between $400,000 and $600,000, with each unit renting between $900 and $1,200 monthly. Spring Park Road features sidewalks and bike lanes, but branching residential streets are narrow and don't have sidewalks. Live oaks line many streets and outstretched branches have draping Spanish moss.

Walks to St. Nicholas Playground
At the heart of Spring Park is St. Nicholas Playground – a small patch of land dedicated to community recreation in the late 1930s. The playground includes baseball fields, a basketball court and a short hiking trail. It's maintained by the Spring Park Neighborhood Association. Cuba Hunter Park is a mile outside Spring Park. It has a popular skate park with a half-pipe, quarter-pipe and a few jump boxes. Plus, the park has a walking trail, a multi-use athletic field and a quarter-mile boardwalk that weaves through a few acres of wetlands. The Cuba Hunter Community Center features a multi-purpose room and an indoor gymnasium. At Community First Igloo, locals enjoy ice skating, participate in a hockey league or clinic, or catch a Jacksonville Icemen game — Jacksonville's minor league professional hockey team.

The area is mostly filled with fast food chains, supermarkets and motels/hotels. All of the corporate jobs are downtown. Unless you are a government worker or have a degree, it is extremely hard to find an enjoyable job to earn a decent wage without simply starting your own business.
