Kendall Pointe Townhomes???
Hello all! Glad I found this site...I need to find a place in the next two weeks. I am moving from Miami and will be working at Jacksonville International airport. My budget is up to $1000/mo...I would prefer a home/townhome within 20 minutes to the airport. Found a nice new townhome in Kendall Pointe for $995...I am over apartment/condo living! Anybody have any info on this place/area? Or maybe another? I am open for suggestions! I am driving up next week to take a look around and get some ideas...Thank you so much!
Biggest factors in order:
1. Safety
2. Price
3. Location (driving distance)
4. Area amenities (I am 29 and single and want to be somewhat close to the action!)
Can't wait to hear the suggestions! Thanks again, Kristen

Hi Kristen,
Great location - especially for your commute to JIA. You'll be right off of 9A (literally '"right off" - you could walk to it  ), so from there I'd expect your commute to be no more than 20 mins to JIA.
You'll be just east of the Regency Mall and shopping area - lots of restaurants, big movie theater, everything you could need right there. There's actually a new SuperWalmart (nice one) inside of Kendall itself and more commercial development to come. Hop on 9A and head south 3 exits and you'll be at the Saint Johns Town Center in less than 10 minutes. Beach is 15-20 minutes from Kendall, downtown is 15...in short, very convenient spot.
Safety is pretty good - I have not heard of any issues at Kendall. It's a busy area with some apartments across the street (nice ones), no real issues, but you'll want to keep your guard up of course.
I also like Georgetown (by SEDA...still early in the building phase) at the Saint Johns Town Center - gorgeous townhomes!
Drayton Park on Touchton Road (just off Southside Blvd) has some nice townhomes too (these are resales), but these may be a bit further out for the commute you want.

Southside/St. Johns Town Center is the center of the action if you do not want to mess with the beach.
Midtown might have some Townhomes, right off JTB, close to I95. Georgtown is also a new development in that area.

I used to live at one of the apartments across from Kendall. I liked the area. Riveree is right everything you need is there. Of course I have since moved to the beach (I had a sublet 1 bedroom apt $675/mo) and that is the area I would pick by FAR. Again though your commute would be hell, Kendall would be perfect commute wise.
Now that I am buying a house it is bye bye beach, and I am back to near regency again lol

I live in S. Fl. and owna condo in Kendall Pointe. It is currently rented but you cannot beat the location. A quick jump on 9A and a short drive to Jax Int'l Airport. Kendall Pointe is new. My condo is a 2/2 and 1/2 and a steal at $950.00/month. It is brand new, and very, very nice. Location, location, location.

Gonzalez,
You posted on the Jacksonville forum. We're talking about a complex called Kendall in Jax. Sounds like you want to post on the Miami forum. |
