Yes! There are historic homes in Jacksonville Florida--Welcome to Riverside-Avondale

That's RIGHT! Jacksonville Florida has homes with history in the Riverside-Avondale areas! Located just outside the City of Jacksonville proper, and west of the St. Johns River these historic areas will take you back to bricked streets and hardwood floors!

These homes, some of which are fondly known as bungalows, are nestled among mature trees, ample parks, and walking trails. But don't be fooled, along the river you will find many of the mansions formerly known as ‘The Row'. Whether the mansion is your style, or the bungalow, both may offer features like hardwood floors-perhaps worn over time, but still beautiful and of quality workmanship. Or a fireplace (or two) that may take your breath away! While these were once used for heat, and you will certainly want to have it inspected prior to use, our modern electricity takes that need away and allows us to enjoy the fireplace on those cool December evenings. These Riverside-Avondale homes have history which lends to their character, each property telling its own unique story, each having its own features, and each having its own place-be it on a bricked street (you can still get replacement bricks, stocked by the city for repairs), one of the many one-way streets, or perhaps closer to the river for your maritime enjoyment.

And that is the beauty of Riverside-Avondale! Close enough to the city to enjoy all that Jacksonville has to offer, urban enough for even this California transplant, and yet set back enough to enjoy a quieter lifestyle if desired. The choice is yours-and the home choices are yours! With the history and homes and culture offered by the Riverside-Avondale areas this Realtor is CERTAIN you will not be disappointed!
