Orange Park Real Estate is as important now is it was back when the town was first incorporated. The history and small town feel of Orange Park enhances the towns vision of the future while letting traces of Orange Parks roots remain at the forefront of future development. Orange Park is a flourishing community and the residents here all love the feel of this quaint small town where finding homes for sale is as easy to performing a property search.
Located South of Jacksonville and just west of the St Johns River, Orange Park is named for orange trees that grew here. They were ultimately destroyed in The Great Freeze 1894-1895. The crops never came back. Being on the St Johns River offers water enthusiasts hours of fun and relaxation.
Leave a comment » Before you purchase or remodel an older home in Jacksonville Florida........Asbestos Removal and Greener Alternatives
There are many things to consider when remodeling or purchasing an older home. Homes built before 1980 have the strong likelihood of containing asbestos. Due to a steady progression of technology and green sustainable methods, there are many ways to ensure your home or property is asbestos free. If you are interested in saving money, remodeling and improving your carbon footprint, here is some information to get you on the right track. Used in millions of homes throughout the last quarter of the 20th century, asbestos insulation can become a real dilemma for homeowners due to causing a variety of health problems, including Peritoneal Mesothelioma and Malignant Mesothelioma. These types of cancer take the lives of thousands each year. Non-regulated asbestos material can be legally performed by homeowners, regular contractors, or licensed asbestos abatement contractors as long as the National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) are not violated. Asbestos removal in public facilities, homes and workplaces must be undertaken by a licensed asbestos abatement contractor. Once the removal is complete, green insulation options should be given serious consideration, such as: Cellulose, Cotton Fiber and Lcynene. The United States Green Building Council (USGBC), in a study conducted in 2003, estimated a savings of $50-$65 per square foot for well-constructed green buildings in the U.S. (see table below) during that year. The numbers continue to improve as more eco-friendly options become available, and those kinds of figures have finally begun to attract those who thought eco-friendly construction was just a bunch of hogwash.

Here’s what Clay County Real Estate in August 2007 looked like:
The numbers for 2008 are showing improvements over 2007! I would not be surprised to see September’s numbers slide back due to the economic challenges we have faced with Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, other government bailouts and price gouging at the gas pumps. These figures are based on residential homes (single family, town homes & attached). They exclude condos, commercial property and vacant land. Information is deemed to be reliable, but is not guaranteed.
