Welcome to Southbrook Condos, a quiet gated community just off Beach Boulevard in Jacksonville's popular Southside area, where Spanish-inspired architecture, mature shade trees, and a sparkling community pool set a relaxed Florida tone. This ground-floor end unit offers 1 bedroom, 1 full bathroom, and 725 square feet of easy-living space, making it a smart fit for first-time buyers, downsizers, and investors alike. Inside, tile flooring runs throughout the open living and dining areas, complemented by ceiling fans and track lighting. The kitchen features rich wood cabinetry, an electric range, over-range microwave, and a double-basin sink. The generously sized bedroom enjoys two bright windows and its own ceiling fan, while a hall closet and a dedicated washer/dryer hookup closet add everyday convenience, and the full bath offers a tub with shower. Out back, sliding glass doors open to a covered porch overlooking the community's green space, perfect for morning coffee or winding down in the evening. The building's classic stucco archways and tile rooflines give the community its distinctive character, and the community pool and assigned parking are just steps from your door. The location is hard to beat: minutes to Beach Boulevard, University Boulevard, and Southside Boulevard, with quick connections to the Arlington Expressway and I-95. St. Johns Town Center shopping and dining, Memorial Hospital, Baptist Medical Center, Jacksonville University, and UNF are all a short drive, and downtown Jacksonville and the beaches are each within easy reach. Affordable, low-maintenance, and move-in ready, this condo delivers comfort and convenience in one of Jacksonville's most accessible locations.
