- Mandarin
- Just north of the St. Johns County line is
the beginning of Mandarin. During the past decade, Mandarin has undergone the
greatest growth of any community in Jacksonville. Located at the southern end of
Duval County with the St. Johns River to the west, Mandarin is the oldest area of
Jacksonville, having been settled before Jacksonville was founded. The community,
home to almost every kind of business and service, had been a rural community until the
end of the 1960s, when developers began building homes. The area is marked by huge
oaks and sizable estates. Highway 13 leads through the heart of Mandarin
intersecting with I-295, making access to other parts of Jacksonville a breeze. The
entire community is viewed as maintaining or increasing in value.
Northwest St. Johns County is just south of Mandarin and Julington creek which flows into
the St. Johns River just to the west. Julington Creek Plantation, a
multi-neighborhood planned community dominates this part of Northwest St. Johns County.
It shares similar attributes with Mandarin and also enjoys lower taxes and more of
a rural setting. The public schools are considered with the top ten within the state
academically. Northwest St. Johns County is the fastest growing area of Northeast Florida
and has seen much appreciation in home prices over the past five years with the trend to
continue for the foreseeable future.
