and taken over by George Davenport, a local developer.
Phase one, two and three, then finally Phase four, now referred to as Erinwood Court.
in the early 1990's, the homeowners began the takeover from the developer. There were mishaps and court cases to get it done, but finally - success.
Southern Oaks Association, INC., has come a long way. Now situated at the corner of Highway 9A and Phillips Hwy., only 1 mile to the Avenues Mall. Jacksonville finally reached the doorstep.
