Mandarin Homes for Sale
Buying a home in the Mandarin area of Jacksonville, Florida
One of Northeast Florida's most distinguished neighborhoods is Mandarin. Named for the Mandarin orange groves that once occupied the land there, the area is located in southern Duval County along the banks of the St. Johns River. Mandarin is regarded for its beautiful historic homes on spacious lots, close-knit community feel and proximity to schools, amenities and recreation. Author Harriet Beecher Stowe once called the neighborhood home and referred to Mandarin as a "tropical paradise." The area experienced substantial growth in the late 20th century and continues to be a coveted residential destination.
