MANDARIN

Continuing north from Switzerland and Fruit Cove on Highway 13, just across Julington Creek (dividing St. Johns and Duval Counties) is Mandarin. During the last decade, the Mandarin area has undergone the greatest growth of any community in Jacksonville. Located at the southern end of Duval County with the St. Johns River as its eastern boundary, Mandarin is also one of the oldest areas of Jacksonville, having been settled before Jacksonville was founded.

The area remains very popular. As the area has been building, some builders have redefined the parameters of popular communities like Mandarin, stretching historic boundaries ever outward.

Home to almost every kind of business and service, the community had been a rural community until the end of the 1960s, when developers began building homes.
Now throughout the area are many types of residential neighborhoods, including some of Jacksonville’s most affluent. Huge oaks and sizable estates mark the area. Highway 13 leads through the heart of Mandarin, intersecting with I-295, making access to other areas of the city a breeze.
In spite of rapid development, the Mandarin Community Club works diligently to maintain the integrity of the community and the entire community has maintained or increased its value.
