Homes For Sale in Riverside Avondale Jacksonville

Riverside is directly south of Downtown Jacksonville and most of the district lies along the beautiful St. Johns River. It is listed in the Registry of National Places which is evidenced as you walk the tree-lined streets to view these magnificent homes from another era.  Along with this historical characteristic is a unique mix of culture and charm along with more modern designs. 

Luxury estates for sale along the river and upscale apartment buildings still manage to embrace a sense of community in this urban area, spilling out into the Riverside Arts Market, a gathering of vendors, artisans, and local entertainment on Saturdays under the Fuller Warren Bridge. 

A historic project in this area highlights the former John Gorrie Junior High School transformed into The John Gorrie, with one and two-bedroom residences and two-story townhomes beginning in the upper $100,000 range. Built in 1923, this property exemplifies the ornate Mediterranean Revival architecture of that era, coupled with modern luxury amenities like private gated parking, courtyard for residents, fitness center, elevators, reading room, and Wi-Fi internet. Another selection in the area is The Park Plaza, with its sweeping views of Downtown Jacksonville and the St. Johns River, and proximity to both downtown and the Riverside / Avondale area by foot, bike, or car. 

5 Points is a quirky bohemian part of Riverside, named after the intersection of five roads regulated by a blinking traffic light from another era. Park Street is the area’s “Main Street,” home to an independent movie theater, Sun Ray Cinema, as well as colorful storefronts, unusual shops, and plenty of dining choices and local breweries.
