Fairways Forest is a leafy enclave in Jacksonville’s Arlington area where broad canopies and wide streets frame a mix of mid-century ranches and updated homes. Residents value the neighborhood’s calm, walkable blocks and quick access to work and play—downtown, the river, and the Beaches corridor are all an easy drive—while the community vibe remains warm and neighborly.
Weekends often revolve around the outdoors. Ed Austin Regional Park’s sprawling fields, trails, playgrounds, and disc golf course offer something for everyone, and its dog park is a local favorite. The nearby Jacksonville Arboretum & Botanical Gardens delivers miles of shaded paths and seasonal blooms, perfect for morning jogs or family strolls. History and salt marsh vistas await at the Timucuan Ecological and Historic Preserve, where boardwalks and the Fort Caroline story create a distinctive sense of place. Riverfront parks and boat launches around Arlington make spontaneous sunset picnics and paddling outings easy.
Families appreciate the education options, with neighborhood students typically attending Fort Caroline Elementary, Arlington Middle, and Terry Parker High within Duval County Public Schools. Lifelong learners and sports fans alike enjoy cultural events and athletics at Jacksonville University just up the road. Everyday conveniences—groceries, cafés, fitness, and services—are close by, keeping errands efficient.
