charming old houses, people out and about, neighborhood restaurants, shops and galleries, even a community garden.
Plenty to see and do. Great food at Bricks. Shops to delight all. Florist, gifts, candy. Real estate and more.
Good entertainment, great fresh vegetable market (some even organic), and great prepared foods for lunch. Overall great Saturday morning activity.
We regret having moved to the beaches from here. The beaches can't light a candle to Riverside/Avondale. This place has character. It has mom and pop shops and restaurants. It's an actual neighborhood where you see and recognize people more than once. I really do miss it.
We spent an afternoon visiting the area, walking through the park, shopping in the stores and having lunch. Great location, close to downtown area, but not a part of it. Older historic area. Great place to spend a relaxing day. Lots of people out walking their dogs, biking, pushing strollers, etc. Will go back next time we are in town.
Love this hood!!! Always a good new restaurant waiting to be discovered or a quirky shop. I adore Bark, because I love dogs and they always have something wonderful. Good coffeebars and just a great place to pass the time...
Best EVER French dip sandwich! Great service and food... Perfect location... We ate outside and it was wonderful
If you only see one part of Jacksonville, this should be it. From the funky shops and restaurants in 5 points, to the local breweries, and brew pubs of the Park and King area. Of course you have to visit the upscale shops of Avondale with its great restaurants and shops for every taste. Add to all this some of the best parks, and museums in the area, and it is a day or two well spent.
Super restaurants, nice walking area with lots of parks and the river. In a sprawling red-neck town like Jax, this is an oasis of "the best that once was." Nothing to dislike except coming from the north you have to go through the maze of highways or the heart of the city to get there.
I went with my walking club through this historic district. The homes are so majestic and I had a great time captures images with my camera. If you're doing a walk bring a stroller for the babies because it's a long walk. Make provision for the small kids or you can drive to area restrooms when needed.
