About
Sandalwood
Sandalwood, located between Arlington Expressway and Beach Boulevard, is a residential and retail Jacksonville neighborhood with broad arterial roads and pocket parks. The area reads as late-20th-century Jacksonville: ranch-style houses, cul-de-sacs, and apartment communities set behind pines and palms. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Atlantic Boulevard and Southside Boulevard intersection, where big-box storefronts, strip-plaza eateries, and steady traffic set the tempo. Regency Square Mall stands as a long-running landmark and reference point for locals. Ed Austin Regional Park adds trails, fields, and a wide-open horizon. Daily life orbits errands, gyms, and green space rather than a single main street.
