Arlingwood is an established, mostly single-family neighborhood in the Arlington area of Jacksonville, in Duval County, developed largely in the 1950s and 1960s. The housing stock is dominated by mid-century brick ranch homes on mid to larger lots, with some two-story homes and a share of condos. Because these are resale homes rather than new construction, each one trades on its own condition, updates, and lot rather than on a builder price sheet.
realMLS (Northeast Florida) sales records identify 525 homes in Arlingwood that have changed hands since 2001, built between 1953 and 2025 (median 1961), with a median living area of about 1,680 sq ft and a typical 3-bedroom, 2-bath layout; 100% are single-family homes. Source: realMLS (Northeast Florida) closed-sale history compiled by Momentum Research; counts reflect homes with a recorded MLS sale, not every home in the community.
County records show 75 qualified sales in Arlingwood across 2024–2025 (50 in 2024, 25 in 2025), median $290,000 — the last recorded sale per parcel on the Florida DOR 2025 assessment roll, independent of the MLS.
The neighborhood takes its name from Arlingwood Park, a City of Jacksonville park with tennis courts, a playground, and picnic areas near Mill Creek and Lone Star roads. The western side of the neighborhood follows a grid street pattern, while the eastern side has more winding streets. Some homes sit near the St. Johns River and its Arlington-area tributaries, but direct water access varies street by street and should be confirmed on the specific parcel.
The bigger picture is location. Arlington sits directly across the St. Johns River from downtown Jacksonville by way of the Mathews Bridge and the Arlington Expressway, putting downtown, the sports and entertainment district, and major job centers within a short drive. The city is also reinvesting in Arlington through the Renew Arlington redevelopment effort, while the aging Mathews Bridge is drawing longer-term replacement discussion. Both are worth watching for how they shape access and demand.
