Auben Realty Expands to Jacksonville as Property Manager for Cedar Creek Estates Build-for-Rent Community

Dedication Ceremony Scheduled for June 3

Auben Realty is proud to announce its role as the professional property manager for Cedar Creek Estates, a new Build-for-Rent (BFR) community underway in Jacksonville’s Westside. Developed by Ellavoz Impact Capital, the community introduces 45 newly constructed single-family rental homes and marks Auben’s official expansion into Florida.

“We’re excited to bring Auben’s approach to Florida through this Build-for-Rent community,” said Donald Caster, President of Auben. “Cedar Creek reflects our belief in creating places where people can thrive—and where long-term management and long-term value go hand in hand.”

Located in a federally designated Opportunity Zone, just seven miles from downtown Jacksonville, Cedar Creek Estates is designed to meet the growing demand for workforce housing—offering modern, professionally managed rental homes for young professionals, families, and veterans.

“Our Ellavoz team and impact investors such as the Pizzo family are extremely proud to be part of Jacksonville’s redevelopment. As a veteran preference community, we will serve the people who protect us,” said Robert Hutchins, Founder and CEO of Ellavoz.

Each home at Cedar Creek Estates features an open-concept layout, attached garage, fenced yard, and energy-efficient design—blending the freedom of single-family living with the ease of professional management. The community offers three thoughtfully designed floor plans, ranging from approximately 1,200 to 1,650 square feet, to accommodate a variety of household needs and lifestyles.
