Greater Arlington is the east bank north of Beach Boulevard. The name is the one the City's planning district and the civic council use, and the grouping under it is ours. Residents call the whole east side Arlington; the Arlington guide is narrower, the City's Arlington Community Redevelopment Area, 1,048 acres and 9,337 residents along University Boulevard and Merrill Road north of the Arlington Expressway, reaching the St. Johns, the Arlington River and Interstate 295, with Jacksonville University 230 meters outside it. Woodland Acres is the City Council's action plan area of that name, 733 acres and 6,408 residents between the Arlington Expressway and Atlantic Boulevard, with Regency Square Mall 0.77 kilometers east and outside. East Arlington is narrower than its name: it is the area the Arlington East Neighborhood Association filed, 1,526 acres and 5,371 residents between Atlantic and Beach Boulevards just inside Interstate 295, not the whole east side to the Intracoastal that residents also call East Arlington, which another organization's filed area puts at 55,031 people. 3 guides are listed below.

All three are Duval County Public Schools and inside the consolidated city, so the levies on a homesteaded bill are the same as anywhere in Jacksonville, and the non-ad valorem lines on the parcel's bill, which were not read here, are what to check. The Arlington Community Redevelopment Area is tax increment financing and adds no rate, and the City's Arlington zoning overlay, in six subareas, covers exactly the same residents; its rules were not read here. The Old Arlington action plan area holds 6,219 of Arlington's residents and runs well beyond it, which is why it is not a guide of its own. Arlington touches the St. Johns and the Arlington River, and Woodland Acres is 0.55 kilometers from the Arlington River, so how close the water runs is worth reading on FEMA's flood map for the exact address before an offer. A Florida homeowners policy covers wind and not rising water, and from 1 January 2027 every Citizens Property Insurance homeowners policy with wind cover must carry flood as well, wherever the house is.
