Location has always been part of the appeal of Glen Kernan. This private gated golf course community is close to many of Jacksonville’s favorite destinations, including St. Johns Town Center, Mayo Clinic and the beaches.
And there’s even more on the way. The Village at Seven Pines is taking shape nearby, bringing new shopping, dining, fitness and everyday conveniences to the area.
Shopping and Dining at St. Johns Town Center
Coming Soon: The Village at Seven Pines
One of the biggest additions coming to the area is The Village at Seven Pines, a new Publix-anchored shopping center near J. Turner Butler Boulevard and Interstate 295. The first retail locations are expected to open in 2027.
- Shopping: Williams Sonoma, West Elm, Pottery Barn Kids, Beau Outfitters, Chey & Chawn and Toytopia
- Dining: Ember + Iron, Hawkers Asian Street Food, Lynora’s, 1928 Cuban Bistro, Chipotle and Pure Green
- Fitness and wellness: Yoga Joint, Solidcore, Sweathouz and RE SPA
- Everyday conveniences: Publix, Publix Liquors and Chase Bank
For Glen Kernan homeowners, that means even more places to shop, dine and take care of everyday errands close to home.
Close to Mayo Clinic
Mayo Clinic’s Jacksonville campus is another major destination near Glen Kernan. Opened in 1986 as Mayo Clinic’s first expansion beyond Rochester, Minnesota, it is a longstanding part of Jacksonville’s medical community.
For buyers who want to live close to Mayo Clinic, Glen Kernan offers the opportunity to build a custom home within an established gated golf course community nearby.
Jacksonville’s Beaches Within Reach
The coast is close, too. Jacksonville Beach offers plenty of opportunities for a morning walk, beach day or dinner by the ocean, while Neptune Beach and Atlantic Beach offer even more shopping and dining to explore.
It’s one of the perks of Glen Kernan’s location: the beach can easily be part of the weekend without feeling far from home.
A Private Community Close to It All
Glen Kernan offers a private residential setting without feeling removed from the rest of Jacksonville. St. Johns Town Center, Mayo Clinic and the beaches are all nearby, with The Village at Seven Pines adding even more to the area in the years ahead.
