Why Purchase a Home in Amelia Park

Last year, I wrote about why Amelia Park is such a great neighborhood. Well, a lot of buying and selling has happened in the past six months and we’ve since welcomed quite a few more readers. So, I decided I would re-post the article, so no one has to miss out.

(Note: If you’re currently thinking about buying a home in the Amelia Island area, we have some great resources to help you along with your preliminary search. For instance, just last month I posted this breakdown of everything you need to consider when buying a home. Additionally, you might find helpful our  homemade Featured Listings section complete with updated pictures, information and videos of homes currently on the market, and our MLS Search feature which allows you to search properties several ways, by price for example. As always, it is my pleasure to assist you in buying and selling real estate in any way I can!)

Why Amelia Park is So Wonderful

From a heavily treed pasture in the center of Amelia Island came a breathtaking sub-division known as Amelia Park.  Amelia Park was named after the Island and the daughter of one of the first explorers to discover the beautiful NE Florida Barrier Island.  Amelia Park is truly a park like setting within the city limits of Fernandina Beach, and boasts timeless coastal architecture of days gone by.

The values of the area are built on neighbors and community.  The lifestyle is quiet while vibrant.    As you drive through Amelia Park you will see park like settings and lakes, white picket fences, and all types of porches.  Homes range from cottages to low country to two story Florida style homes, villas, town homes, and condominiums. The focus of special events, community gatherings, picnics, and holiday celebrations is at the neighborhood square.  It is an easy bike ride to the beach and Historic Downtown Fernandina Beach.  At the East entrance to Amelia Park you will find the YMCA and a beautiful new chapel.  The YMCA provides exercise facilities, a gym, an Olympic size swimming pool, play areas, recreational facilities, and meeting places. At the West entrance you will find a day spa, restaurants,  shopping, and offices.   Amelia Park’s central location allows residents to live close to schools, world-class golf courses, tennis, dining, recreation, doctors and the highly rated Baptist Medical Center.
