With easy access to I-295 & Dames Point, you can be anywhere in town in 30 minutes or less! Very near the new River City Marketplace for all types of shopping, the Jacksonville International Airport, the new UF Health medical facility, the Jacksonville Zoological Gardens, area beaches, the new Amazon facility and more.

Be sure to check out the Wm. F. Sheffield Regional Park featuring three basketball courts, a picnic pavilion with grills, two soccer and football multi-use fields, a fishing pier, a canoe launch, asphalt trails, concessions and rest rooms.

Just up the road a bit is the Betz Tiger Point Preserve, "surrounded by awe inspiring broad expanses of saltwater marsh. Stunning scenic views as well as abundant wildlife can be seen in this natural setting. With its adjoining neighbor, Pumpkin Hill Creek Preserve State Park, visitors can enjoy miles of nature trails for hiking, biking and equestrian use, kayak/canoe areas, and ample fishing. Use the canoe launch a few hundred feet south of the Preserve to launch your canoe and explore the salt marshes."
