SAN JOSE Riverside
LISTED IN THE NATIONAL REGISTRY OF HISTORIC PLACES, RIVERSIDE IS ONE OF JACKSONVILLE’S OLDEST AND COOLEST 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–find out mroe information through Riverside Avondale Presevation Society. This is a hip part of town with a young population. Million dollar waterfront homes and upscale apartment buildings are the norm, but there is nothing pretentious about the area, instead the vibe here is that of community, urban living, and keeping it local. The world-class Cummer Museum of Art and Gardens is also located in the Riverside neighborhood, and the gardens overlook the St. Johns River.
Riverside’s Five Points area is a bohemian neighborhood with funky coffee shops, outdoor cafés, one-of-a-kind shopping, nightclubs, antique stores, and more. In the last few years, a new food & beer district has emerged on King Street, locally owned restaurants, bars and breweries are calling the street home and bringing in hundreds of visitors of all ages every weekend. Some of the options include Intuition Ale Works Brewery, Bold City Brewery, The Garage, Soup’s On, Pele’s Wood Fire, Lola’s, and Kickbacks.
