WHY ITWORKED: In Jacksonville, Fla., most of the luxury condo buildings are located at the beach or miles away along the St. John's River. Deerwood Place Condominiums is the first luxury mid-rise to be built on the Southside, in the heart of the city's newer business and entertainment district.

  • The gated community features a pool, a fitness center, a clubhouse with a summer kitchen, and private storage units.
  • The best-selling, 2,025-square-foot Elmwood plan offers three bedrooms and a large, central family room that opens to the dining area, the kitchen, the owner's suite, and the balcony.
