The mostly residential areas of the Southside are brimming with history and nature.

The St. Johns Town Center – a 1.1 million-square-foot, open-air lifestyle center offering innovative new retail, residential, hotel, and dining choices for Jacksonville shoppers is one of the highlights of the area. Just around the corner, the Tinseltown area is hopping with a movie theater, restaurants, specialty shops, and thriving nightlife. The area is also home to the large yet elegant Avenues Mall.

Not surprisingly, Southside has a diverse mix of residential styles and offerings within its borders. Home prices in the area can reach the $1 million range, with the average price being in the mid-$100,000s. Neighborhood offerings range from working class, single-family homes, condos and townhomes to gated communities with all the amenities.
