ORANGE PICKER ROAD

HOMES AT GREAT VALUE

As part of our commitment to Jacksonville as a great destination for new home buyers, we chose to develop our Orange Picker Road community in the Mandarin area, just a short drive south of the city center, near San Jose Boulevard and I-295.  It's become a sought-after place to live, and it has a rich history.

You're right if you guessed it was named for the Mandarin orange.  Established in 1830, this neighborhood just south of San Marco was described as “a tropical paradise” by Harriet Beecher Stowe, a former resident and the author of Uncle Tom’s Cabin.  Its spectacular oaks are draped with Spanish moss, and Mandarin – once an important port for shipping citrus - presents some of greater Jacksonville's best views of the St. Johns River.

One of the reasons we enjoy being a homebuilder in Jacksonville FL is that we get to share the joy of the new arrivals who discover how much they love the Mandarin lifestyle.  They have an up-front seat for The Mandarin Art Festival, a high-quality, juried event that draws thousands of visitors every Easter weekend.  And December’s Winter Celebration brings about a thousand people to Walter Jones Historical Park to experience a day of old-fashioned fun for all ages.

Compared to national averages, Mandarin’s per capita income is 71 per cent higher, median household income is 76 per cent higher and the unemployment rate is 29 per cent lower.

Artisan Homes is a collaboration of local builders and developers with over 75 years of combined experience designing and building the kind of new Homes Jacksonville Florida knows represent quality craftsmanship and unparalleled customer service.  We invite you to stop by our Orange Picker Road community in Mandarin soon and let us give you a tour.
