An east Jacksonville suburb that's undergoing a few changes

Over the Matthews Bridge and the St. Johns River is Arlington, an east Jacksonville community that's been around for a few generations. "It's a well-established, older neighborhood that's right outside our urban core," says local Realtor Alicia Slater of Momentum Realty. She was born and raised in Neptune Beach, about 12 miles from Arlington. "It fell into disrepair a little bit, but they're starting to revive the neighborhood." Several homes have been remodeled and new developments, like the College Park Shopping Center, are starting to pop up. Local Realtor Tom Moore of Watson Realty Corporation grew up in Arlington and has noticed the growth and redevelopment first-hand. "New businesses are moving in," Moore says. "It's exciting for people who have wanted the area to return to its greatness." The nearby Jacksonville University plays a significant role in Arlington's growth by investing in these new developments and inviting a wave of new people to the neighborhood.

Midcentury modern and ranch-style homes

Most houses were built in the 1950s. Midcentury modern and ranch-style homes are most common, measuring between 1,000 and 1,500 square feet with three bedrooms. A few houses measure over 2,000 square feet. A single-family home in Arlington can sell between $100,000 and $350,000. A house needing a few repairs lists closer to $100,000, while a recently renovated typically lists from $250,000 to $350,000. Homes sit on lots just under 10,000 square feet, often with fenced-in backyards. Sprawling oaks and shaggy palm trees line narrow streets and fill most yards. The few sidewalks in Arlington line the community's busier streets, like Rogero Road and Cesery Boulevard, but residents still enjoy walks outside. "People are often out walking or riding bikes," Slater says. Condominiums are available at the Hidden Oaks condo complex. They feature two-bedroom units that list between $80,000 and $100,000.
