The Neighborhood

Cecil Pines has the warm and peaceful atmosphere of a small-town neighborhood. It's the type of place where you may never feel the need to leave. But the growing Jacksonville area is full of exciting opportunities for exploration. Just a few miles down the road, the beautiful riverside city of Jacksonville boasts more than 57,000 acres of parks, number one in the U.S. in this department. And if you are a beach lover, you can enjoy miles and miles of unspoiled white sand coastline, with some of the best sport fishing and boating in America. Downtown Jacksonville is also where the Old South meets urban chic, with everything to enjoy from cafés to boutiques to museums and galleries. And our sports lovers never miss a chance to go catch a Jaguars football game at sunny Jacksonville Municipal Stadium.

Outside the Jacksonville city limits, you can explore historic old St. Augustine, the nation's oldest city. And a little further away is one of Florida's best kept secrets, Cedar Key. A quaint haven for those who crave the simple pleasures of 'Old Florida,' this community is a laid-back collection of artists, nature-lovers, fishermen and locals, who always have a story to share. It's a fantastic place to day-trip, do some artisan shopping, dine on fresh fish right on the docks and experience the pristine beauty and relaxed lifestyle of Florida’s Gulf Coast.
