the American Planning Association, a not-for-profit community development organization. A number of homes have been restored through Riverside-Avondale Preservation to keep the diverse architecture and history alive. This desirable community also features brick quadruplexes and duplexes, as well as other multi-unit buildings.
The San Marco-Miramar area is south of Downtown
Jacksonville’s Southbank, west of Philips Highway and east of the St. Johns River. A diverse community, potential residents have an array of housing choices including small bungalows, riverfront mansions and brick apartment complexes. The San Marco Preservation Society ensures that the community’s historic properties are restored to their original splendor. San Marco Square is the center of the neighborhood and offers shopping, dining and entertainment. The historic San Marco Theatre and Theatre Jacksonville, the oldest continuously running community theatre in Florida, are also located within the square. Furthermore, Walk Score has listed San Marco as Jacksonville’s second most walkable neighborhood, allowing for a less car-dependent lifestyle.
Founded in 1869 as Jacksonville’s first subdivision,
Springfield has seen some rough times due to poor zoning, suburban flight and crime. However, the neighborhood has bounced back with great energy. In the January 2010 issue of Southern Living, Springfield was named one of the South’s best comeback neighborhoods. Bordered to the west by Boulevard Street, to the east and north by railroad tracks and to the south by Hogan’s Creek, historic Springfield features many renovated prairie-style and Queen Anne homes. In addition, the neighborhood has newer homes with the same popular, architectural-style features of the area’s original homes.
MANDARIN This southernmost neighborhood of Jacksonville is
enriched with nature and history. Mandarin is bordered by the St. Johns River to the west, Philips Highway to the east, Julington Creek to the south and Beauclerc/San Jose to the
north. Officially named Mandarin in 1830 for the area’s major crop—Mandarin oranges—the community became part of Jacksonville in 1968. Today, Mandarin is a convenient location that offers residents a selection of housing.
Beauclerc and San Jose are two older neighborhoods that
lie between the San Marco-Miramar area and Mandarin. Most of the homes along Beauclerc Road are a mixture of architectural styles such as brick rambler homes and two-story contemporaries. San Jose is a prime residential area with the majority of homes built in the 1950s and 1960s, with the exception of some new developments with single-family homes and condominiums.
NORTHSIDE/OCEANWAY The Northside of Jacksonville consists of neighborhoods
north of the Downtown area and a large portion of undeveloped land above the St. Johns River. Residents of the Northside enjoy living in close proximity of the Jacksonville International Airport, the city's Amtrak station, the Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens, the Budweiser Brewery, the Dames Point Bridge, and River City Marketplace. New housing developments, apartment complexes and shopping centers are increasingly emerging on the Northside.
SOUTHSIDE/BAYMEADOWS The large region south of Arlington, north of St. Johns
County, east of U.S. 1 and west of the Intracoastal community is commonly referred to as Southside. Not only does the Southside offer the largest grouping of apartment communities in Jacksonville, it also offers a variety of residential options such as single-family homes and gated communities. Recreation, entertainment and shopping are all easily accessible by Southside residents. The St. Johns Town Center is one of the largest and most popular shopping centers in the area with a variety of retail stores, dining and entertainment options. Florida State College at Jacksonville—South Campus, Florida Coast School of Law and the University of North Florida are also located here. An ever-expanding neighborhood
