Florida Real Estate News

When you make your home in a Jacksonville loft home, you’ll find that you have access to everything that you’re looking for: great shopping, the arts, fine dining, the nightlife, business opportunities, sports and, of course recreation.

If getting outdoors and spending time on the beach is your idea of a great time, near your Jacksonville loft home you’ll find Huguenot Memorial Park.

At Huguenot Memorial Park, you’ll find:

• beautiful views;
• a chance to see shrimp boats in the distance;
• a great place for sunbathing and relaxing with friends on the sand;
• a place to try your hand at boogie boarding with small waves that are just perfect for the sport;
• a great site for fishing;
• a relaxing spot to walk the dog, camp out overnight and just be a part of the world around you.

Though you may find that there are crowded afternoons, you’ll be able to enjoy the park beach in the mornings, evenings and during completely uncrowded days in the fall and spring. Huguenot Memorial Park is just one more great place to enjoy near your Jacksonville home.

Clear blue water. Waves crashing in. Beautiful architecture with a Cape Cod style. Quiet communities. What do all of these things have in common? Simple: each is easy to associate with The Cottages at Ponce Inlet and the townhomes that will soon be available there. Who wouldn’t want to be able to see the view of clear waters and hear the sound of the tide rolling in from their own townhome on the coast of Florida? Who wouldn’t want to live in an area that is still far from highly developed that is home to one of the US’s 10 Best Beaches? In your Ponce Inlet townhome, you’ll find yourself surrounded by beauty. You’ll find the relaxed life that you’ve always wanted: waking up in the morning or relaxing in the evening to the sounds of the tide.

A Jacksonville loft home makes it easy to enjoy the best that the city has to offer. From dining to art, from shopping to parks and outdoor activities, there’s something for everyone.

This is even true if you’re looking to play a quick round of golf without having to go too far from home.

The First Tee of Jacksonville offers public play at a Par 34 nine hole course. Similarly, The Blue Cypress Golf Club makes it easy for golfers who are looking for a short course with more of a challenge to try for a Par 36.

If you are looking for a Jacksonville course with a front and back nine, you too will find plenty of courses within a few miles from your Jacksonville loft home.

Consider playing 36 holes at:

• The Hyde Park Golf Club,
• The Mill Cove Course at the Mill Cove Golf Course,
• The Jacksonville Course at the Bent Creek Golf Course, or
• The Queen’s Harbour Course at the Queen’s Harbour Yacht and Country Club.

Each course is open to the public and great for a morning or afternoon trip out on the greens.

It’s not uncommon for people of every age to want to live the best life possible. For some, that means living richly in terms of finances. For others, it means having ready access to the arts. For others still, it means building community.

What’s your concept of living your best life? Do you want to be able to transition smoothly between work and play? Are you hoping to be able to entertain friends without leaving home, but still have choices if you all feel like going out instead? Do you want easy access to the arts, to shopping and fine dining?

For those who want to be able to have a seamless transition from one interest to the next, Jacksonville living makes it easy. There you’ll be able to enjoy the arts and sports, culture and convenience and a sense that everything is within reach.

These seamless transitions in Jacksonville make it a great city in which to live. Similar transitions make The Chelsea Lofts a great place to live.

The open floor plans and convenient location make it easy for anyone to live their best life.

What does it take for you to really feel at home? Is it having your family all around? Is it the comfort that comes from being able to relax – knowing that you have everything you really need? Is it the ability to entertain and impress your friends?

Each of those can help a person to feel at home no matter where they are. But when you are living in a luxury oceanfront home, you’ll probably want just a little bit more.

How about great ocean views? Would you like a walkover to the beach that takes you from your yard past the dunes? Would you like to have plenty of space, both inside and out?

When you choose a Ponce Inlet luxury oceanfront home, you’re likely to find that you’ll have everything that you need to feel at home.

When you make your home in Jacksonville Beach and boating is your passion, you’ll have plenty of options available to you. You’ll be able to head out to the Atlantic and sail away to anywhere. Still, there are going to be days where you’re looking to stay a bit closer to home.

On those days, the St. John River is an ideal option for boating. The river causes few snags. Most people can easily keep their boat under the 45 foot fixed bridges. And, during the fall, you’ll be able to set out and show manatees to the kids as they often be found in the river during the winter months.

If you love boating on the St. John, you’ll be interested in looking into your marina options: along the river you can find both wet and dry storage, as well as slips for temporary storage.

Just because you can head out into the Atlantic easily from your Jacksonville Beach home doesn’t mean that you have to – and the even better news is that the St. John isn’t your only option. Take some time, explore sites about Jacksonville and you’ll find plenty of afternoon trips, day long trips and trips that last even longer.

There are plenty of great reasons to live in Jacksonville, Florida. There’s a little bit of something for everyone – history, the arts and, of course, a great variety of restaurants and clubs to keep everyone entertained. Within just a short distance of a Jacksonville loft home at The Chelsea Lofts, you’ll be able to find great ways to spend your evenings – even if you’re looking to go out rather than staying in. Here’s just a sampling of what you may find:

• If you’re looking for a comfortable, intimate venue that offers guest DJs and live music, consider a night at The Blue Room;
• On Wednesdays through Saturdays, if you’re looking for great music and more, consider spending the evening at the Eclate;
• Looking to shoot some pool, look at some great art, have a drink or two and listen to music, the Monarch is the place to be.

Of course, when you’re living in your Jacksonville loft, you’ll also find plenty of sports bars where you can take in the big game, large and small music venues and even neighborhood bars where you can kick back, relax and spend time with friends.

When you start thinking that you’d love to have a waterfront townhouse in St. Augustine, it only stands to reason that you’d start to identify just what you were looking for. A view from your home of the water. Convenience to the arts and history of the area. And of course, a style that lets you feel like you really are getting away from it all.

The Abacos at Salt Run bring the style of the West Indies to St. Augustine.

That means you’ll be able to get away from work and unwind. If your St. Augustine townhouse is your vacation home, you’ll be able to really escape your day to day style. Or, if your townhouse at The Abacos at Salt Run is an investment property, you’ll be able to use the great location and style to your advantage if you choose to let others use the home.

St. Augustine, the nation’s oldest city, is rich in the arts and history. It’s also a beautiful place to call home – or to call your home away from home.

If you’ve thought about buying a St. Augustine vacation home at The Abacos at Salt Run, but have wondered about the convenience or expense of traveling there, you’ll be glad to know that arriving at St. Augustine is easier than ever.

This is because the discount airline Airbus has begun jet service directly to St. Augustine at an extremely affordable rate.

Whether you live in Ohio, Washington state, San Francisco or LA, Boston or even Kansas City, you’ll find it much easier to travel to St. Augustine – whether you’re looking at vacation homes and condos or you’re visiting your home away from home.

If getting to St. Augustine was the biggest disadvantage that you’d named about purchasing a vacation home in St. Augustine, the time is right to finding the perfect location for you.

There are beautiful homes to be had all over the country, but somehow it seems that many don’t make ideal winter homes. Coastal Maine and Massachusetts get bitter winds that blow in from the Atlantic. Ski resorts – while great for some – don’t hole the same allure for everyone. Northeastern Florida, on the other hand – moderate climates, the chance to still participate in outdoor activities, world class golf and have a great day at the area’s theme parks – is an ideal place to have your winter home.

When your winters are spent in Jacksonville, Jacksonville Beach, Ponce Inlet or historic St. Augustine, you’ll be able to feel confident that you can relax, unwind and enjoy the oceanside views. You won’t have to book a hotel room months in advance to book a winter getaway while the kids are out of school, you’ll simply be able to visit your home away from home.

In other words, you’ll be able to celebrate the winter holidays in whichever way you prefer – whether that means a special brunch prepared in your gourmet kitchen, opening gifts on the balcony or the beach or traveling to a theme park for an even more magical experience. Year after year, when you have a winter home away from home, you’ll find that there’s always some way to fill in the time and still unwind, relax and get away from it all.
