The Cape blends marshside quiet with easy access to city life, tucked into northeast Jacksonville where creeks meet the St. Johns River. Residents prize roomy homesites, leafy streets, and quick connections via the Dames Point Bridge and I-295, putting downtown, the beaches, and Jacksonville International Airport within an easy drive. For frequent flyers, the airport’s official hub offers up-to-the-minute flight info and parking details at Jacksonville International Airport.
Weekends here lean outdoorsy. Explore miles of waterways and trails across the Timucuan Ecological and Historic Preserve, from kayak launches to birding spots rich with herons and osprey. Nearby, Pumpkin Hill Creek Preserve State Park rewards hikers with coastal scrub, wildflowers, and wide-open views, while Yellow Bluff Fort Historic State Park adds a dash of Civil War-era history under a canopy of live oaks. Local favorites like Sheffield Regional Park and Bogey Creek Preserve expand the options for ballfields, dog walks, and quiet nature loops.
Families appreciate everyday convenience as well. Area schools include New Berlin Elementary, Oceanway Middle, and First Coast High within Duval County Public Schools, and the Oceanway Library and Community Center anchor programming close to home. Shopping and dining cluster at River City Marketplace and along the New Berlin Road corridor, while nearby Oceanway adds even more neighborhood services.
