About Arlington, Jacksonville

Arlington occupies a large section of Jacksonville east of the St. Johns River, generally bounded by the Arlington Expressway (SR-115) to the south and west, the Intracoastal Waterway to the east, and the Trout River and Fort Caroline areas to the north. The core ZIP codes — 32211, 32225, and 32277 — cover a mix of post-war subdivisions, mid-century ranch neighborhoods, and some newer development near the Town Center and Kernan Boulevard corridors.

The area developed rapidly in the 1950s and 1960s as Jacksonville expanded eastward across the river. The Mathews Bridge (1953) and the Arlington Expressway connected the area to downtown, triggering a suburban building boom. Many of Arlington's most established neighborhoods — including the areas around Arlington Road, Cesery Boulevard, and University Boulevard — feature concrete block or wood-frame homes built during this era on quarter-acre to half-acre lots.

Regency Square Mall, once the area's commercial anchor, has seen significant decline and is slated for mixed-use redevelopment. However, the broader Arlington commercial corridor along Merrill Road, Beach Boulevard (US-90), and Atlantic Boulevard continues to serve the area. The Jacksonville Arboretum and Botanical Gardens — a 120-acre nature preserve off Monument Road — is one of Arlington's most significant public amenities.

Arlington students are served by a mix of Duval County Public Schools including Arlington Elementary, Arlington Heights Elementary, Arlington Middle School, and Terry Parker High School. The area is also home to Jacksonville University, a private institution on the banks of the St. Johns River near the Arlington-Fort Caroline border.

Arlington Real Estate Market

Arlington's real estate market reflects its age. The median home price in ZIP 32211 sits around $200,000-$240,000, with significant variation based on condition and location within the area. Updated homes near the river or in the more desirable sections around Rogero Road and Cesery Boulevard command premiums, while unrenovated homes in the interior neighborhoods can trade for $130,000-$180,000 — creating strong investor interest.

The primary challenge for Arlington homeowners looking to sell traditionally is the age-related repair burden. A home built in 1962 with original everything — roof, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, windows — needs $30,000-$50,000 in updates to compete with renovated inventory on the MLS. And Arlington has a lot of renovated inventory, because investors have been buying and flipping homes in the area for years. Your unrenovated ranch is competing against the one down the street that just got a $40,000 makeover.

Insurance costs have hit Arlington particularly hard. Many homes in the eastern portions of 32225 and along the Intracoastal are in FEMA flood zones, requiring flood insurance that can add $1,500-$4,000 annually to carrying costs. Combined with Duval County property taxes and the general Florida insurance crisis, some Arlington homeowners are seeing their total housing costs increase 25-40% over what they were paying three years ago.

For homeowners falling behind on payments due to these cost increases, a cash sale can be the fastest path to financial relief. We close in as little as 7 days and cover all closing costs.

Why Arlington Homeowners Choose Us

Arlington has one of the highest concentrations of inherited properties in Duval County. Many of the families who bought homes here in the 1960s-70s are now passing those properties to adult children who live elsewhere. Those heirs face a choice: invest $25,000-$40,000 to bring a 60-year-old house up to modern standards and list it for maybe $225,000 after agent commissions, or sell it as-is to a cash buyer and walk away with a check in two weeks.

We buy all types of Arlington properties: the brick ranch on Kingswood Road with the original terrazzo floors and a roof that's 5 years past its useful life, the block home on Justina Road with the converted garage and unpermitted addition, the duplex near Regency that hasn't been updated since the tenant moved out. Condition isn't a factor in whether we'll buy — it only affects the price, and we show you exactly how we arrive at our number.

The Regency area redevelopment is generating long-term optimism for Arlington property values, but that doesn't help homeowners who need to sell now. Long-term appreciation projections don't pay this month's mortgage or fund a $12,000 roof replacement. If you need to sell your Arlington home quickly for cash, the current value — not a future projection — is what matters.
