Park Ridge balances established character with everyday convenience on Jacksonville’s east side. Set within Arlington, the neighborhood features tree-shaded streets, mid-century ranch homes, and thoughtful updates, with quick access to Merrill Road shops, the Regency area, and Downtown via the Arlington Expressway. Commuters appreciate straightforward routes to Jacksonville job centers and the beaches, while weekend plans rarely require leaving the neighborhood.
Outdoor time comes easy. The expansive Ed Austin Regional Park offers multiuse trails, sports fields, and a popular disc golf course, and the Jacksonville Arboretum & Botanical Gardens invites quiet walks around Lake Ray beneath towering pines. Blue Cypress Park and its public golf course sit a short drive away, and neighborhood streets make for easy evening strolls or bike rides.
Families are served by Duval County and Duval County Public Schools, with nearby elementary and middle campuses and magnet options across the city. Higher education is close at Jacksonville University, which adds lectures, performances, and collegiate energy to the local calendar.
