VISITOR CENTERS

Eclectic, bohemian, historic and hip, those are a few words often used to describe the Riverside Avondale district. Voted as one of the country’s Top 10 Great Neighborhoods, and listed in the National Registry of Historic Places, this area features a unique mix of history, culture, charm and modern design.

Located just a few blocks from the St. Johns River, the district’s “Five Points” area is a bohemian neighborhood with funky coffee shops, outdoor cafés, great local dining, one-of-a-kind shopping, nightclubs, antique stores and more. The Shoppes of Avondale, another highlight of this district, has an eclectic mix of locally owned restaurants, clothing boutiques and Spanish-moss-covered, oak-lined streets.

Beautiful historic homes and grand city parks are the norm in Riverside Avondale. Enjoy a self-guided tour or join a guided bike tour of the most architecturally significant structures in the area. For more information visit: riversideavondale.org.

MURRAY HILL

Local art, delicious food, craft beer, and passionate makers have transformed Murray Hill into one of the coolest neighborhoods in Jacksonville. Located west of the hip and historic Riverside Avondale, this old yet new again hood has become the spot for young entrepreneurs to open innovative restaurants, boutiques, bottle shops and businesses.

When visiting, check out its parks like Four Corners and Murray Hill Park and stroll along Edgewood Avenue and its dozens of local stores. Snap a pic of the neighborhood’s many murals and catch a show at the historic Murray Hill Theatre. For more information visit: murrayhilljax.com.
