WELCOME TO "THE FOREST"
|
Fairways Forest is a lovely established Arlington neighborhood of 253 brick or Mediterranean-style homes built in the early '70s. Its first residents were largely newcomers to Jacksonville who were relocated by corporations and the military branches, as well as homeowners wanting to move up to larger, modern homes. Jacksonville, first and foremost, is a Navy town and Fairways Forest is well represented by those who have served and are serving their country.
The Forest’s sprawling acreage was developed by Lonnie Wurn (deceased), a local attorney/real estate developer who added many communities in this city. A brick wall to harmonize with its brick homes lines the North side of the community. It was built in 2001 courtesy of a special fund-raising drive. Though the Forest has experienced continual cultural change throughout its years, its flag-flying, signature lampposts and spirit remain. Fairways Forest continues to attract buyers who recognize its charm, character and value. When residents choose to move into the Forest, they tend to remain long into retirement. Many residents volunteer to serve in the governing civic association year after year. Fairways Forest truly defines "there's no place like home." |
