When potential buyers are looking for a home, it is tempting to only focus on square footage, amenities and price. While these factors are important, one additional characteristic that can separate one home from another is the community in which it is located. The North Jacksonville community of Cedar Bay gives a first impression that is worth experiencing, and one that visitors notice immediately.

From the immaculate and appealing neighborhood entrance to hilly streets that lead down to a breezy and shaded riverfront park, Cedar Bay is truly unique – and merits a look by even the most discriminating of buyers.

Cedar Bay is tucked away on a beautiful piece of riverfront property alongside the scenic Broward River. The neighborhood has been carefully planned and designed with traditional architecture, a welcome change from the typical “Florida-style,” and this look and feel is consistent throughout homes and amenities.

Sloping hills are dotted with one- and two-story homes, and invite bike riding and walking – and indeed, resident families are often seen doing these very things.

“Cedar Bay is a distinct community for Jacksonville,” said Roger Postlethwaite, president of GreenPointe Homes. “Not only does it have award-winning homes at exceptional prices, but the overall feel of the neighborhood is unique. Our residents love living here.”

There are 135 families living in Cedar Bay, and the community welcomed six new families during the month of May. The community is nearly built to capacity, but GreenPointe Homes has reserved some of its best homesites – including options on the river – for today’s buyers. There are several move-in ready residences for immediate occupancy, or buyers can choose from one of GreenPointe Home’s wide range of floorplans.

“There is incredible pride of ownership here. Residents are always working in their yards, and the homes are beautifully maintained,” said Vicki Bratvold, president of GreenPointe Realty. “For buyers looking for a one-of-a-kind neighborhood, Cedar Bay is truly special. And right now, buyers can purchase a riverfront home or homesite for an extremely low premium – only $15,000 to $20,000 above the base price.”

Cedar Bay is conveniently located near River City Marketplace, the largest shopping complex in North Jacksonville, which offers homeowners an opportunity to take advantage of numerous shopping and dining opportunities. It is a short drive from the Jacksonville International Airport and from downtown Jacksonville. It is also an easy commute to several military bases.

“If buyers are seeking a unique community in a peaceful area of the city, I encourage them to take a look at Cedar Bay and tour our GreenPointe Homes model home,” said Bratvold. “Everyone who visits here is amazed, and many end up calling it home.”
