Carter acquires Valencia Condominium in Jacksonville Beach, Florida

Valencia, a condominium community in South Jacksonville Beach located minutes from the Atlantic Ocean, has been acquired by Carter, an Atlanta-based real estate investment and development firm. Under the new ownership, Valencia has reopened for sales with homes priced from $189,900.

"Valencia provides an amazing opportunity to homebuyers and we have already sold several homes in the community since taking ownership," said John Akin, senior vice president of Carter. "It's a new day at Valencia and we are making numerous enhancements to this already outstanding community. We are certain Valencia will be the most sought-after condominium in Jacksonville Beach."

Valencia currently has 162 completed homes and 42 residences under construction. At completion, the community is anticipated to have 245 homes in five buildings.

Valencia is designed with elegantly appointed one-bedroom plus den, two- and three-bedroom homes ranging in size from 1,350 square feet to 1,868 square feet. Each residence is designed with the features typically found in a single-family home such as 10-foot ceilings with trey accents, arched openings, eight-foot solid wood doors and recessed lighting. Gourmet kitchens include GE appliances, granite countertops, 42-inch designer cabinetry, center island and breakfast bar. Luxurious master suites are designed with spacious walk-in closets and a garden tub and glass-enclosed walk-in showers in the master bath. A new model showcasing these features is now available for viewing.

The Valencia lifestyle is like living in a top-of-the-line resort year-round. The gated community’s amenities include an elegantly appointed community clubhouse, fitness center with sauna and resort-style pool and lounge. Plans for several additional enhancements are underway including a community park with bocce ball courts and croquet lawn, a fenced community dog park and a large gardening area.

The community is situated between the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway marshes, offering residents one of the most convenient locations available. Valencia is within walking distance of many restaurants, entertainment and shopping including Publix and Target stores, and is a short bike ride from the beach. The community offers quick and easy access to J. Turner Butler Boulevard and Florida A1A, making Valencia a short drive from downtown Jacksonville, the St. Johns Town Center and the world’s best golf and tennis locales in Ponte Vedra Beach.

To experience the coastal lifestyle Valencia has to offer, visit the community. From Interstate 95, exit at J. Turner Butler Boulevard and travel east to the Jacksonville Beaches. Exit at Marsh Landing Parkway and continue to South Beach Parkway. Turn right at South Beach Parkway and Valencia will be on the right. For more information, call (904) 285-1132.
