The area known as Fleming Island has emerged as one of Clay County's fastest growing residential areas. Unspoiled natural beauty creates a scenic backdrop for a virtual showcase of ingeniously planned, high-quality neighborhoods that mix beautiful single-family homes with handsome multi-family developments to offer housing options that appeal to a wide range of tastes and budgets. Residential areas integrate rolling fairways, good schools, sports fields, swimming pools, tennis courts, and nature preserves with commercial developments of retail shops and services, business offices, and light industry. Included on the high-growth corridor that is spreading southward from Orange Park, the Fleming Island area is maturing as a semi-rural, suburban haven.
