The trendy appeal of 1960s-era homes
While it was once a literal gold mine, today, Duval County’s community of Arlingwood has evolved into a residential neighborhood that’s rich in diversity, history and convenience. Residents here enjoy a less than 15-minute drive to Downtown Jacksonville across the St. John's River, giving them easy access to the city's prime shopping, dining and entertainment options.
The area is not only increasing in popularity for its proximity to downtown, but for the timeless charm of older homes. “Young people just love the novelty factor of 1960s-era homes right now,” says Lori Neighbors, listing agent and broker with St. Johns Realty group, Assist2Sell. “The retro aesthetic is becoming more popular than the modernism aesthetic. This neighborhood offers new and old homes, but the majority are mid-20th century.”
A large front yard is a great place to run and play.
Single family homes in the Arlingwood area are larger brick ranch and many have pools.

Waterfront homes on Matthews Manor Drive
The neighborhood is dominated by single-family homes. There’s an abundance of traditional brick, one-story ranch-style houses, but there are also a few two-story models and condos sprinkled throughout the community. On the western side, homes are neatly arranged in a grid-like pattern, allowing residents to navigate easily through the neighborhood, while roads on the eastern side wind and curve. Prices range anywhere from $160,000 to $450,000, with three-bed, two-bath condos on the lower end and three-bed, three-bath traditional houses on the higher end. Waterfront properties can be found along Matthews Manor Drive, Westwick Lane, Salt Lake Drive and at the Merrill Pines Condo Association.

295 takes residents where they need to go
Arlingwood borders Interstate 295 on its eastern side, which can take residents farther east to the Jacksonville Arboretum & Gardens — or north across Mill Cove and the St. Johns River. While the neighborhood itself is walkable, residents have the option of using the Jacksonville Transportation Authority’s 51 bus to get around the city. The Jacksonville International Airport is located roughly 16 miles away from the neighborhood via 295, while the HCA Memorial Hospital is about a 15-minute drive away.

Love my neighborhood. Quiet and peaceful. Neighbors are polite and helpful. The only complaint I would have is people speeding.

I had to move in with my husband, who was my boyfriend at the time, as I was unable to afford rent in my previous residence and the owner had to sell the property.
