Buying in Jacksonville
The questions buyers ask us most about this collection.
Why do buyers look at Riverside and Avondale for a 2 bedroom single story home?
Riverside and Avondale are historic neighborhoods where many homes are one story bungalows built in the early twentieth century. Their walkable streets make it easy to reach shops and restaurants on foot, which suits buyers who want to drive less. The neighborhoods sit right on the St. Johns River, so buyers who value water views and riverfront walks often find them a good fit.
How does Murray Hill differ from Riverside and Avondale?
Murray Hill is a neighborhood of Tudor-style bungalows with its own dining and shopping strip, and it sits just west of Riverside. Its streets feel close-knit and walkable, and many buyers choose it for the architectural character of its older homes. Buyers should compare the age and condition of individual homes, since renovation levels vary a lot across the neighborhood.
What should first-time buyers know about single story homes in Jacksonville?
Single story homes are easier to move around in as you age, and they often have simpler maintenance than two story houses. Older homes in historic neighborhoods may need updates to plumbing, electrical systems, or roofing, so a full home inspection is a smart step. A licensed inspector can point out issues that are common in older Florida construction.
How far are these neighborhoods from downtown Jacksonville?
Riverside, Avondale, and Murray Hill are all a short drive from downtown Jacksonville along the main city roads. Interstate 95 and Interstate 295 give residents routes to other parts of the city and the Southside. Commute times change with traffic, so it helps to test the drive at the hour you travel most.
Is Ortega a good choice for buyers who want a quiet neighborhood near the river?
Ortega is known for its large oak trees, quiet residential streets, and proximity to the St. Johns River. Its lots tend to be leafy and private, which appeals to buyers who want more separation from busy roads. Buyers should review flood zone maps and drainage details for any home near the water.
What is the lifestyle like for residents near the St. Johns River in Jacksonville?
Residents have access to riverfront parks, walking paths, and boat ramps along the St. Johns River. San Marco offers a mix of shops, restaurants, and older homes close to the river. Many buyers in these areas enjoy walking to local dining and spending weekends outdoors near the water.
