The John Gorrie a condominium, one of Jacksonville’s premier condo communities, offers homebuyers a diverse array of beautifully appointed homes in meticulously restored historic school buildings. The condominium community also offers a unique, local-centric lifestyle for residents who enjoy cultural ambiance with modern conveniences.

“I like that I live in a building that is unique to everything around it,” said homebuyer John Hoffman, who recently purchased one of the 68 residences that comprise The John Gorrie. “All too often, people end up buying the home that looks exactly like their neighbors, with no personal style or appeal.”

There are plenty of options for homebuyers at The John Gorrie, where available homes include studios, one- and two-bedroom condominiums and two-story townhomes ranging in size from 800 square feet to 1,800 square feet and priced from the low $100,000s. The diversity of floor plans and pricing was one of the draws for Hoffman, who chose his home specifically for its size and affordability. His one-bedroom, one-bathroom flat features the original hardwood floors from a classroom and eight-foot windows that overlook the majestic oak trees adorning the school’s landscape.

Great lengths were taken to modernize the buildings to today’s housing standards. Residents enjoy contemporary amenities including a custom-designed fitness center, elevators, private gated parking and a resident reading room featuring Wi-Fi internet access. The restored original private courtyard provides residents with a tranquil outdoor gathering space. Modern luxuries in all residences include stainless steel GE appliances, CaesarStone countertops, gourmet kitchens and pedestal sinks in bathrooms.

Located at 2525 College Street, residents are within walking distance of cozy neighborhood restaurants, local boutiques and charming storefronts. Residents also enjoy close proximity to the banks of the St. Johns River, oak-canopied streets and a sampling of the area’s most marvelously maintained parks. The community is minutes from downtown Jacksonville, cultural landmarks such as The Cummer Museum of Art and Gardens and national sporting venues.
