Everything Atlantic Beach

Atlantic Beach is a small oceanfront town of 14,000 just a half hour east of Jacksonville. Its history dates back to 1900 when it was established as a railroad community. A decade later the land was sold to the Atlantic Beach Corporation, and the population started to grow. Today, the city is no longer a railroad hub, and the Atlantic Beach Corporation is long gone. The name stuck, though, and with two miles of gorgeous white sand beaches, it couldn't be more fitting.

Living in Atlantic Beach

Atlantic Beach is primarily residential, meaning that there are plenty of apartment living options available. With an apartment in the city, you're just a half hour from Jacksonville, and right on the ocean. You get all the benefits of living next to the beach - the salt smell in the air, the beautiful sunrises, and that unmistakable ocean breeze, and you'll still be close enough to the big city to have jobs, attend events, and get your fill of entertainment. Plus, it is home to the Selva Marina Country Club, so at the end of the day you can retreat from the hustle and bustle and spend an evening on the back nine.

An apartment here means giving your loved ones what they deserve - a great, safe location with an emphasis on family. Education is provided through the award-winning Duval County Public School System, which, in 2008, had seven of the nation's best schools according to Newsweek, making it the perfect place to raise a family. Not only will your children be well-educated, they'll be safe as there is a very low crime rate. Though small in size - only 13 square miles – the city has 10 parks, many of which include athletic fields and playgrounds – and one even has a skate park. So you can relax, go fishing, kick a ball around, and have a picnic locally, no matter which neighborhood you choose.
