Mandarin’s park-like landscaping, moss-draped oaks, and historic homes make this city great. Because of its location on the Saint Johns River, residents of this Jacksonville suburb come to expect sunny and warm weather year-round. Named after the orange in 1830, Mandarin was a prominent supplier of citrus fruits.
Speaking to its past, Uncle Tom’s Cabin author Harriet Beecher Stowe owned a small cottage in Mandarin. Stowe resided here for seventeen years, traveling to Mandarin from her main residence to ride out the cold months in a tropical climate.
Residents of Mandarin are comforted by The Avenues mall, which is surrounded by delicious restaurants. Riverplace Shopping Center is a neighborhood gem, with retailers like Cost Plus World Market and T.J. Maxx encompassing it. Many restaurants, service companies, and retailers are found on San Jose Boulevard. Close proximity to Interstate 295 provides direct access for area residents traveling from their apartment home.

I've grown up in Mandarin. As for Jacksonville neighborhoods, it is very safe. There's many things to do around here and it's in a good spot to travel to St. Augustine or other places.

I love Mandarin and all the parks, shopping and family atmosphere. I wish that they would do more to clean up trash on local roads. During the Hurrican this year the city was able to help us and people around us recovery and rebuild. The community is very strong and we all bond together in times of need. I hope that people will become more involved with the history and nature around mandarin and invest more times in the beautiful parks mandarin offers.

The Mandarin area in Jacksonville is a great place to live. The Mandarin library and South library is nearby and rarely do I here crime happen in the neighborhood. The houses are pretty and the stores you need to go to are close by.
