Visit Jacksonville. Where Florida Begins.


Riverside/Avondale

In the late 1800s, wealthy citizens began building homes in the quaint neighborhood of Riverside. This historic district is listed in the National Register of Historic Places and is also designated a local historic district by the City of Jacksonville.  The Riverside's Five Points area is an artsy neighborhood with funky coffee shops, outdoor cafés, one-of-a-kind shopping, nightclubs, antique stores and more.  The newly opened Riverside Arts Market adds another layer of culture to this artsy neighborhood.  Open every Saturday under the Fuller Warren Bridge, the market displays local artwork, fresh vegtables and baked goods.  For a slower speed, visit the Cummer Museum of Art and Gardens. You'll also find nearby Avondale is a great place to shop for antiques or enjoy a meal.  Many of the area's bed and breakfasts are also located in this historic neighborhood.
