Arava Subdivision in Lake Asbury Green Cove Springs Fl 
Why Do People Live Here?
I’ll speak for myself and I think many agree with me. I’ve always liked the Lake Asbury area. I always enjoyed the scenery and it really has a cozy feel to it. It’s really not so far away from other areas, so you won’t have to drive long distances to get to shopping centers, restaurants, schools and more. Middleburg is right around the corner. Fleming Island is just off of 220 or 17, depending on which way you take. Many military folks live in this area. It’s an easy jump to get to Highway 17 to go north to get to NAS JAX. It does not take long to get to St Augustine, maybe about 35-40 mins to get to downtown by taking the scenic route through the back roads of Clay County and St Johns County. See the map below.
