156 townhomes are now on offer at the Villages of Northwood in Duval County, Jacksonville with prices starting at $170,000. The properties can be found off New Berlin Road and Cedar Point Road.

Each home will have between three and four bedrooms with a minimum floor-space of 1,362 square-feet. You can choose between three different floorplans and whether you need a one car or a two car garage.

The properties were built by Ryland, which has been described as “one of the nation’s largest home builders”.

In the words of the builder, Standard Pacific Homes, “The Duo-Home shatters the townhome mold of the past”.   Now one of them could be yours starting at $150,000.

The community of Spring Pointe is located within Spring Tree Village on Jacksonville’s Westside.   In Spring Pointe, the “Jade model Duo-Home” is on offer.   Equipped with four bedrooms and two baths, this 1,923 square-feet of space along with a two-car garage “offers the low maintenence advantage of townhome living and pairs it with the perks of owning your own home”.

Each home offers a dining room, a living room, a breakfast nook and a laundry area.   The master bedroom comes with its own walk-in closet while the master bathroom comes with both a bathtub and a shower cubicle.

There can be no better marketing line for Queen’s Harbour than the one given by Brylen Homes president Bryan Lendry : “Queen’s Harbour sets the local standard for luxury living in Jacksonville”.

Now, Queen’s Harbour is offering a limited number of new homes to interested buyers as well as a select few in its townhouse community, Providence Island (a private island situated inside Queen’s Harbour).

Providence Island is surrounded by trees, marshes and vegetation and it has Mediterranean-style 3-bedroom townhouses. Prices for these properties start at just under $600,000. The properties also have designer ceramic tile, modern kitchens and a stately 8-foot entry door!

Queen’s Harbour has a yacht club and a country club as well as a gated private golf course, and the community has built up a big reputation for its first-class facilities.

“Classic“, “Elegant“, “Cozy“.   These are just some of the words of praise being banded about concerning the new townhouses at Midtowne on Jacksonville’s Southside.

The brownstone residences are located along Gate Parkway West, north of Butler Boulevard, with some model homes now open for inspection and tours.  The houses are being marketed as ideal for people needing quick access to areas such as Butler Boulevard, Interstate-95 and shopping / entertainment centers such as the St Johns Town Center, San Marco and the Beaches.

Each townhouse is very spacious with four bedrooms, a large garage and 2,552 square-feet of space, spread over three floors.   Interested parties can also consider the Burberry floorplan which includes oakwood floors, a curving staircase and a gourmet kitchen.   Ideal for dinner parties or for having the family around.

Prices for Midtowne start in the high $300,000 price tag range and anyone interested in viewing a property can just turn up and join one of the tours.   Some of the homes are available to move in before the end of this year.

Described by the developer as a “prime location tucked away on Jacksonville’s Northside”, the community of Leslie’s Hideaway has begun pre-sales for its 70 spacious luxury townhouses.

Two floorplans are on offer - the 1,591 square-foot Alexia and the 1,615 square-foot Christopher with pricetags starting at a very reasonable $170,000.

You can choose from between two and three bedrooms and the interior of each house can be adapted to include extras such as an extra bedroom or extra bathroom amenities. A showcase kitchen is also included along with an attached garage, beautiful landscaping and nature views.

One big plus for living in Leslie’s Hideaway is that it is minutes away from Jacksonville’s International Airport so any regular commuters to and from the airport will find living in this community a bonus.

The construction company says it could be the best investment of your life and with prices being slashed by $50,000, they’re certainly keen to prove it.   Now priced in the mid-$200,000 price range, the town-houses at Georgetown in Jacksonville are proving to be a very attractive proposition, especially when it is within walking distance of the St Johns Town Center.

Each town-house comes with a multitude of free options such as Corian countertops, tile in the kitchen, bathroom, foyer and laundry room, a full security system for your security and peace of mind, 42-inch cabinets in the kitchen and much more.

Extra amenities are also thrown in including an electronic entrance gate, a fitness center and a pool.

You can choose from between two styles of housing - The Chesaspeake and The Delaware, both having their own distinctive features and each offering at least 2000 square feet of space.

The Georgetown community will have a total of 192 town-houses, each with either two or three bedrooms.   Plus when you look out of the window, you will be able to see three beautiful lakes and a canal running through the center of Georgetown with a bridge connecting both sides.

Doesn’t that sound a beautiful place to live?

The first Berkman tower under construction in Jacksonville has only two townhomes but if you were hoping to find a townhome in the second tower then don’t bother because there isn’t any to be had.

The second tower will be a condo development compared to the first tower which was marketed as apartments.

Construction of the second tower is scheduled to begin sometime in July with final sales prices expected to be anywhere from $170,000 to $600,000 per unit.

Hudson Capital LLC and AMC Delancey Inc will team up to buy $31.5 million worth of property from Jacksonville University, a move designed to alleviate the university’s debt.

The land, covering 62 acres will be re-developed into condos, townhomes and retail space. Also expected to be added is a marina, golf & yacht club and a movie theater.

They haven’t yet disclosed what the going rate will be for buying a home there but past sales in the area indicate that a minimum of $200,000 would not be an unreasonable figure to expect.

No sooner has the First Street Grill succumbed to closing doors than the Lighthouse Grill followed in its wake. The restaurant at the San Pablo bridge is now owned by Chase Properties Inc whose gameplan now is to convert the property into 37 townhouses with a minimum price-tag of $650,000, boat slip included.

What slipped this past the Jacksonville Beach council was keeping the buildings under the 35 feet height limit, something that was the wish of the voters in the 2004 election.

The plan by Chase mirrors similar plans by other developers which involve buying up land, tearing down the property and building anew, resulting in Jacksonville Beach’s character being irrevocably changed.

Renovation plans for the Southbank are underway. 42 acres of riverfront property, which used to be the JEA Southside Generating Station, could soon be turned into condos, office and retail space – if the developer is able to get the project started.

Cowford Riverfront LLC and Case Pomeroy Properties wants to build 2000 condos & townhomes as well as a hotel, office space, retail space and a marina. There would even be 10 acres of open space left.

But the deal, after four years of planning, is not certain. A school board has not yet allowed the building of an access road through their property. That and a rezoning application may slow things down even more. But everyone is hopeful that all problems can be ironed out and construction could begin next year.
