If you are Buying or Selling a home in  Mandarin, North St Johns County, Florida, San Jose Corridor,  Avondale,  Riverside, San Marco, South Jacksonville, or affordable communities near the beaches, I'm your REALTOR®! I specialize in these areas. I have lived in Jacksonville most of my life and appreciate all the beauty and versatility our city offers.

Description of These Communities and Neighborhoods


Avondale, Riverside & San Marco
The historic areas of Avondale, RIverside and San Marco hug the St Johns River and present the authentic beauty of their old, elegant homes.  They have the gorgeous tree lined streets that offer the charm of living close to your neighbor and saying "Hi" to people from your front porch, as they walk by. 

San Jose Corridor
Moving south, along San Jose Blvd, which still hugs the St Johns River, there are many different neighborhoods, still close to town, that offer a wide variety of price ranges. As you move south, the Baymeadows area is revitalizing with new shops and beautiful condominium communities.

Affordable Communities Near The Beaches
Moving East, in South/East Jacksonville, near University Blvd South & West, Beach Blvd, and Atlantic Blvd, homes are still close to town, yet only 15 minutes to the beach.  Again, there are a variety of prices.  As you go further East toward the Atlantic Ocean, near University of North Florida, there are newer homes with neighborhoods of various prices.

Mandarin
Going back to San Jose Blvd and moving South is Mandarin, a charming area of homes whose borders are I95 on the East and the St Johns River on the West.  Mandarin used to be in the country not so long ago and consisted of horse farms and large plantations on the river.  Now, since it developed in the 80's and 90's (and is still developing, especially toward the East), it is a beautiful conglomerate of: historic Mandarin Rd with its canopied trees moving parallel to the river; communities of a variety of prices and styles including single family homes, townhomes and condominiums on either side of San Jose Blvd; and the newer area of Bartram Park which borders I95 with its newer shops and community, mostly consisting of attractive townhomes and condominiums.
 
St Johns County, Fl (Julington Creek, Fruit Cove, Switzerland, & CR 210)
Continuing south along San Jose Blvd or south along I 95, you will run into St Johns County.  San Jose Blvd turns into State Road 13 after you cross Julington Creek. Here, going either way, you will enter upon hundreds of planned comminities, the largest of which is Julington Creek Plantation. Off of SR 13, the "plantation" offers a variety of activities and price ranges.  Going south down I95 and taking the first exit, CR 210, you'll be met with a large choice of golf and other planned communities, each with their own individual beauty. Much building is still going from this area to SR 13. The intersection of I95 & CR210 is only 15 minutes to the oldest city in the country, St Augustine and is still convenient to Jacksonville. 

If you are a Buyer and one of these areas peaks your interest, call me. We'll schedule an appointment to meet, so that we can find you a unique home for you and your family. 

If you are a Seller and live in one of these areas, call me at (904)514-6750.  I treasure each area for its own special qualities and benefits.  I want to show these special qualities and benefits to the Buyers I meet with.
