Riverside & Avondale

Riverside & Avondale

These two communities on the west bank of the St. John’s River are primarily residential, containing some of the city's most notable examples of historical residential architecture. The areas are characterized by numerous bungalows and spacious, graceful homes.

Listed in the National Registry of Historic Places, Riverside is one of Jacksonville’s oldest yet trendiest neighborhoods. Voted as one of the country’s top 10 Great Neighborhoods, Riverside & Avondale have a unique mix of history, culture, charm, and modern design. An eclectic mix of people make up this happening area’s population. And while million dollar waterfront homes and upscale apartment buildings are the norm, there is nothing pretentious about this quarter. Instead, its vibe is one of community, urban living, and the “support local” movement. This neighborhood celebrates the arts, too. The Riverside Arts Market is a Saturday staple for residents. And no visit to Riverside is complete without a trip to the world-class Cummer Museum of Art and Gardens, which features a spectacular Tuscan-inspired garden that overlooks the St. Johns River.

Riverside's Five Points area is a bohemian neighborhood with coffee shops, outdoor cafés, one-of-a-kind shopping, nightclubs, antique stores, and more. Another local food & beer district can be found on King Street. Locally owned restaurants, bars and breweries are call the street home and bring in hundreds of visitors of all ages every weekend.

Avondale's favorite street has a new love interest! This Dutch Colonial Revival with its brick and dormers is dripping with character worth swooning over. Historic charm shows up everywhere and makes you slow down to notice the details, like original hardwood floors with inlaid accents. This home's standout feature: two distinct living areas. A formal living room offers an elegant space for entertaining, while the casual gathering room provides the perfect spot for relaxing. Oversized primary closet with windows could be a custom closet with dressing area, home office, or reading nook. Adjoins an existing bathroom wall, offering potential to convert to a true primary suite. But architecture is just the opening act. The real romance is out back: a deck for morning coffee, a private (pool-sized!) yard shaded in native plantings for evenings where the dress code is casual. The front pollinator garden is a 5-star bee buffet. A detached garage offers additional storage or ADU opportunity. Bonus: its proximity to Shoppes of Avondale's coffee, cocktails, and boutique everything, as well as the St. Johns River. Some homes you buy. This one, you will fall for. Updates: Roof 2021; upstairs AC 2023; electrical updated 2021; water heater 2021; pavers, underground drains for gutters/yard, and irrigation system late 2022/early 2023.
