Historic Baker County locale with small-town appeal
Tucked away about 30 miles west of Jacksonville is the small, historic town of Macclenny in Baker County. "A lot of people are finding out what I've known for a long time—it's a fantastic place to live," says City Manager Mike Griffis, a lifelong resident of Macclenny. Tall oak trees with Spanish moss canopy over neighborhood streets that pass decades-old brick buildings like Emily Taber Library. Local businesses have American flags on their wooden porches and nearby parks where residents have gatherings feature architecture from the town's beginnings inside intricate wrought iron fences. Griffis says the area is rapidly growing, but people in town still greet each other by name on the street. "We are protective of our rural character. We know it will grow, but we want to maintain our small-town feel as much as possible."
Mix of homes from ranch-style to modern farmhouse
Late 20th-century ranch-style homes in Macclenny average around $265,000 and feature up to three bedrooms and spacious backyards with one or two willow trees shading the patio. Streets near these homes lay in a curvy grid and sometimes include narrow sidewalks with palm trees scattered along them. Late 20th-century two-story farmhouses with porch swings and French doors average around $475,000; many of these homes include indoor saltwater pools and sit further apart on one to two-acre lots, separated by towering live oaks. Their long driveways connect to gravel roads that travel further out of town. Residential communities like Heritage Oaks offer one to two-story New Traditional houses built in the 2020s that average $280,000; these homes sit closer together on paved grid streets.
Ranch homes with covered porches are found in Macclenny.
Macclenny has a variety of modern Farmhouse architecture.

Outdoor fun at town parks
The small, charming Heritage Park Village takes a step back in time to 1850s "Darbyville," Macclenny's original name, with a collection of historical and re-created buildings from the town’s beginnings; visitors can check out Moonshine Museum and Garage to learn about illegal brewing in the town during prohibition and Paul's Rexal Drugs to read chronicles of Baker County's medical history. The area also features the town's original train depot, which features a red caboose. A rustic windmill sits beside the Burnsed Block-House, Florida's only surviving example of frontier architecture. Griffis says residents like to use the park's gazebo and playground for family reunions, and the salmon-colored village chapel with white French doors is ideal for weddings. Memorial Park, also known as the "duck pond," is another popular spot for locals to play pickleball and visit the dock on the pond.
Residents can take time to enjoy nature in one of Macclenny's pleasant parks.
Popular annual community events
Every year, the community hosts a Ghost in the Oaks event in Heritage Park, where the low-hanging black oaks adorn Halloween décor, and kids dressed in their best costumes trick-or-treat at local vendor booths. For Christmas, the town comes together at Heritage for games, treats and a visit from Santa. Local businesses and the fire department string lights on floats for the Annual Lighted Christmas Parade through downtown Macclenny. BBQ enthusiasts can snack on some ribs at the annual Best in Baker BBQ cook-off fundraiser hosted in Heritage.
