Situated on the banks of the St. Johns River, Clay County has become one of the top destinations for homebuyers in Northeast Florida. The county, which includes the vibrant suburban communities of Fleming Island and Orange Park, is surrounded by magnificent natural beauty and offers an exceptional quality of life.

“Clay County is a very appealing place to live and raise a family,” said Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Florida Network Realty Founder, President and CEO Linda Sherrer. “The county has experienced tremendous population growth, including a younger, more affluent demographic, that is outpacing other areas in Northeast Florida.”

With a population of more than 200,000 people, Clay County has the second-highest household income in the region. In addition to an outstanding selection of homes, buyers are drawn to the area’s quick access to big-city amenities and A-rated public schools. The county has great appeal to those who love nature and the outdoors.

“Clay County is home to some of the region’s top golf courses, public parks, and walking and bicycling trails,” said Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Florida Network Realty Broker/Executive Vice President Christy Budnick. “With 46 square miles of lakes and rivers, Clay County provides endless opportunities for enjoying boating, fishing, canoeing and kayaking.”
