Riverside Real Estate

Riverside Real Estate & Homes for Sale in Florida

Riverside, another one of Jacksonville's historic neighborhoods, is located next to Avondale along the western banks of the St. Johns River just south of Jacksonville's downtown district. The neighborhood is roughly bounded by Avondale to the south, Interstate 10 along the north, Seaboard Coast Line Railroad along the west and the river to the east.

Riverside has been considered one of the best places to retire by Money Magazine due to the area's pleasant year round weather, unique shopping experiences, and endless water recreational activities. Since the neighborhood is just minutes away from the heart of Jacksonville, many who work in the city choose to live in this lively neighborhood due to its convenient location and laid back atmosphere. Riverside is also the home of the Cummer Museum of Arts and Gardens as well as St. Vincent's Medical Center.

Known as an eclectic and artistic neighborhood, one of Riverside's biggest events is the Riverside Arts Market, an event where local artists display and sell their works of art and where local grocers sell their produce. The neighborhood's unique architectural collection also reflects the community's eclectic atmosphere. Some notable examples include Tudor Revival, Victorian, Queen Anne, Craftsman, Colonial Revival and Mediterranean Revival, among a few others. For those who are interested in living in Riverside, single-family homes, waterfront condos and townhomes, and bungalows anchor the area's real estate market.
