Not unless you want it to be. You can choose an acreage property tucked in the woods or a newer home in a well-developed subdivision. It’s flexible.

“Is the commute manageable?”

Most residents commute toward Orange Park, NAS JAX, or Fleming Island. With the First Coast Expressway expanding, commute options continue to improve.

Many do — especially homes on acreage or without strict HOA restrictions. It depends on the property.

“Are there newer neighborhoods?”

Yes. Middleburg has seen steady new construction, especially near main corridors.
