About Hilliard
Tucked away in northwest Nassau County near the Georgia border, Hilliard offers quiet, small-town living about thirty miles outside Jacksonville. With around 3,000 residents, the community is defined by pine forests, open acreage, and a relaxed, rural pace. While timber and agriculture have deep roots here, Hilliard is also home to a major FAA air traffic control center.
Life in town revolves around local schools, youth sports, and friendly gatherings like seasonal festivals and food truck rallies. Residents enjoy the space and privacy of country living while keeping everyday essentials close at hand through local parks, the branch library, and the YMCA. For big-box shopping, specialized healthcare, or weekend beach outings, both downtown Jacksonville and Fernandina Beach are an easy drive away down US-1 and County Road 108.
