Slower pace of life in Nassau County
Known as the birthplace of one of Florida's first train depots, the tiny Nassau County town of Callahan offers quiet, country living with plenty of history. "When I first moved here, I felt like it was a step back in time," says Stephanie DeAngelo, a Realtor with Engel and Volkers First Coast who's lived in Callahan for 19 years. Decades-old boutiques with white-fenced porches and brick churches with steeples line the neighborhood streets; a bright red train car sits next to the West Nassau Museum of History in the center of town, where residents gather for a yearly Railroad Day Festival. DeAngelo says as people drive out of downtown, the landscape opens to rural farmland. "When people move here from the hustle and bustle of a bigger city, they get a house with enough room to raise chickens or goats," she says. "They get to slow down a bit."
Callahan is a warm amd welcoming community.
There is a lot of train history at the West Nassau Historical Society Museum.

Traditional and ranch-style homes with acreage
Deangelo says more people from Jacksonville are flocking to the area, and home prices have gone up and down for several months. But even with fluctuating prices, she says, "It's very typical for a house to be on one to several acres of land, and people are willing to pay for that." Renovated early 2000s mobile homes with up to four bedrooms sit beside narrow, dirt roads lined with low-hanging oak and pine trees and average $230,000. Some homes have white fences surrounding grassy lots, and others have gravel driveways that cut through front lawns. Early 2000s ranch-style homes with brick and stucco exteriors offer up to four bedrooms and average $310,000. These houses sit closer together but offer front and back yard spaces shaded by cypress and live oak trees; streets are laid out in a grid and feature narrow, well-paved sidewalks. New Traditional houses built in the 2020s, with up to four bedrooms range between $550,000 and $680,000. These homes typically sit on 5 to 10 acres of land, surrounded by groves of tall oak trees, and some include private ponds. Long gravel driveways lead out to county roads, passing rows of crops and farmland.
This brick home can be found in Deerwood Creek Estates.
