Jacksonville - Avondale, FL Real Estate — Homes For Sale in Jacksonville - Avondale, FL

The Riverside/Avondale area of Jacksonville is known for its mix of history, culture, character and community and is considered one of America's great historic neighborhoods. During the peak years of Riverside's development from 1895 to 1929, following the great fire that consumed downtown, the neighborhood became a laboratory for aspiring architects. The abundant and distinct variety of homes built during this period include Colonial Revival, Georgian, Shingle, Queen Anne/Victorian, Tudor and bungalow styles. Streets canopied with trees lead visitors to pocket parks and quaint shopping districts where boutiques, restaurants and bars nest in commercial buildings built in the 1920's. The Cummer Museum of Art and Gardens, on the river nearby, offers world-class art spanning from 2100 B.C. through the 21st century. less
