The beauty and seclusion in Jacksonville that is Queens Harbor

I am representing the seller of a property in Queens Harbor, , the address is 1058 Shipwatch Drive. Besides it having 6 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms, private dock and quick access to the freshwater/saltwater lock system that leads to the Intracoastal Waterway, if you do a search on Queens Harbor, you will be hard pressed to find any history of the community.

Perhaps that is what people of this 1,000 acre development want to see in Jacksonville. Many prominent people including NFL players and other professional sports live in this community. It is a gated community with a great golf course, tennis courts, beautiful clubhouse and other member amenities, but I think the most amazing part of Queens Harbor is how private the area has become and how its hard to publicize the area.

I had no idea that the community sponsors a fitness center sprint triathlon, or that there is a fall festival that coincides with a teen festival. There is a boat light parade during the holiday season. I find it that the area has really taken on its own identity and it is a mere 10 minutes to downtown and 10 minutes to the beaches. You only really know about it from the sign out front next to the fast food restaurants.

Most homes in Queens Harbor are less than 20 years old, since the development was first started in 1989. The streets are curved and the sidewalks allow for families to enjoy the trees, of which many remain, and those that were removed seem to have filled in with new foliage, making this a great urban place to hide and seem refuge from the busy world just outside its gates. Call me today if you are interested in looking at the listing on Shipwatch or if you know someone who would be interested.
