Atlantic Highlands offers an easygoing, well-situated slice of life on the east side of Jacksonville, tucked within the broader Arlington area. Tree canopy, modest lots, and a mix of mid-century homes and newer infill give the neighborhood a comfortable residential feel, while quick connections along Atlantic Boulevard, the Southside Connector, and I-295 make commuting to downtown, the river, or the Beaches straightforward.
Weekends often revolve around nearby green spaces. The sprawling fields, disc golf course, and miles of paths at Ed Austin Regional Park invite pick-up games and sunset jogs. Just up Monument Road, the lakes and shaded trails at the Jacksonville Arboretum & Botanical Gardens make a peaceful escape. For a deeper sense of place, explore the waterways and history of the Timucuan Preserve at Fort Caroline National Memorial, a short drive north.
Families value the neighborhood’s placement within Duval County and access to Duval County Public Schools. Higher education is close at hand with Jacksonville University nearby, bringing cultural events and collegiate energy to Arlington. Daily needs are covered by local grocers, casual eateries along Atlantic Boulevard, and services clustered around the Regency corridor.
Whether you’re drawn by attainable single-family options or the convenience of being minutes from trailheads, river views, and urban amenities, Atlantic Highlands delivers a balanced everyday experience. If you’re planning to buy or sell here, Agent Pronto can connect you with a top local agent who knows the neighborhood well.
