Quietly nestled along the banks of the St. Johns river in one of the First Coast’s most historic communities lies a gem in the heart of Mandarin. River Story, a unique and rare enclave of estate sized lots in a custom home community is surrounded by Mandarin’s most authentic characteristics. From historic parks and homes along Mandarin Road, to the sounds of the river splashing against the bulkhead, to the intense colors of each sunrise and sunset, Mandarin offers an easy, peaceful environment that is conveniently surrounded by some of the area’s finest restaurants, boutiques and spas.

Mandarin is a quintessential community for raising a family because of its convenient location close to parks, schools, and churches while also offering empty nesters a perfect place to enter into their next chapter because of the peaceful, romantic and timelessness of the surroundings.

Once described as “a tropical paradise” by Harriet Beecher Stowe, the famous author and one-time area resident, Mandarin boasts magnificent oak trees draped with Spanish Moss that imbues the whole area and leaves a lasting impression on anyone lucky enough to spend time there.

Mandarin today is a blend of residential areas and shopping centers so that everything you need is within easy reach without sacrifice to the enjoyment of nature in its splendor.
