Gated communities with private amenities and easy access to Beach Boulevard
The Beach and Hodges neighborhood began in 1987 when Arvida Corporation, a Disney-owned real estate company, bought 732 acres of land to construct the Jacksonville Golf and Country Club (JGCC). The first Mediterranean ranch-style homes were built in 1989, just off the fairways and freshwater lagoons. Since then, the gated golf course community has expanded to include over 900 single-family homes ranging from 1,900 to 5,000 square feet. Cammie Thomas, a Realtor with Better Homes & Gardens Real Estate Lifestyles Realty, says the area attracts university students, beachcombers, and golfers. Separate gated communities with private amenities now cluster around its tree-canopied residential streets. And on the neighborhood’s north side, two shopping centers with a grocery store and local restaurants border U.S. Route 90.
Beach and Hodges blends suburban living with easy coastal access.

Fairway and lagoon views in the Jacksonville Golf and Country Club community
Beach and Hodges' homes sit neatly in different gated communities with their own private amenities. "On average, home prices start around $350,000, but the community contains multimillion-dollar properties," says Marc Fagan, a Realtor with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Florida Network Realty. The Jacksonville Golf and Country Club (JGCC) community comprises most of the neighborhood, sprawling across 732 acres. Most Mediterranean ranch-style homes were built in the 1990s when Clyde Johnston first designed the golf course. The JGCC Property Owner’s Association fees are less than $200 per month, and there are no additional Club membership fees for homeowners. The listings here start around $700,000 for a three-bedroom just off the golf course, and five-bedroom homes with fairway or lagoon views can cost up to $1.5 million. Palermo is another nearby subdivision with Spanish Revivals ranging between $850,000 to $1.25 million. Vernacular homes with paver driveways and Craftsman accents line cul-de-sacs in Highland Glen. These listings typically range from $650,000 to $950,000, while smaller Mediterranean ranch-style homes can go for as low as $475,000 just a few streets over. One- to three-bedroom condos with designated parking spots range from $175,000 to $250,000 in the Avanti subdivision. Wolf Creek has larger condos and two- to three-bedroom townhomes for about $300,000 along Beach Boulevard, and Vizcaya has Spanish-style townhomes with attached garages right next door. These larger luxury townhomes can range up to $600,000.
Beach and Hodges is situated just outside Jacksonville's flood zone, but high wind speeds are still a concern during hurricane season, which runs from June through November. Most homes and condominiums feature sturdy stucco exteriors to help protect against wind damage. This cement material is not only weather resistant but also helps keep homes cool during the sweltering Florida summers.

Play tennis, golf or swim at the Jacksonville Golf and Country Club
The Jacksonville Golf and Country Club's 18-hole championship golf course weaves around 26 freshwater lagoons, where residents and other Club members can fish for bass and bluegills. A practice driving range, 10 Har-Tru tennis courts and a heated pool surround the central clubhouse. Its indoor fitness center offers group exercise classes and personal training sessions, and the spa has an on-site massage therapist. A 3-acre park sits just past the community's north gate. Managed by the JGCC Property Owners Association, the park features baseball and soccer fields, a pickleball court and a playground shaded by Carolina pines. While anyone can become a Club member, the surrounding gated communities have their own resort-style pools and fitness centers.
