Natural Landscape: Bordered by the St. Johns River to the west and historic San Marco to the north, the area features a classic Florida landscape filled with palm trees, large oaks, and small neighborhood lakes.
Academic Street Names: Reflecting its post-WWII development era, a unique hallmark of the community is its street names, which are named after prominent colleges and universities (such as Clemson, Cornell, Fordham, and Emory).
