The Riverside and Avondale neighborhoods represent Jacksonville’s premiere historic districts. Riverside Avondale is often referred to as one contiguous neighborhood, but each area has its unique characteristics. Riverside boomed when many of the city's residents chose to rebuild right after the Great Fire of 1901. The 20th century saw sustained growth, which produced some of the most diverse architectural landscapes in Florida, with one of the largest collection of early 20th century-built bungalow houses in the state. Avondale evolved later, in the 1920s. For its time, it was the most innovative upscale development Jacksonville had ever produced. The tree-lined, quiet streets display hundreds of charming homes, including a wide-ranging collection of classic and modern architectural styles: Mediterranean Revival, Craftsmen, Classical, Prairie School and Art Deco. Riverside Avondale was named one of the Top 10 Neighborhoods in the United States by the American Planning Association in 2010.
Riverside Avondale Amenities
There are three main commercial areas in the neighborhood; Five Points, the Shoppes of Avondale, and Park and King Street District. There are also several smaller commercial areas; including portions of Stockton Street, McDuff Street, Barrs Street, and the Park and Dancy Street intersection. You’ll find the best shopping, award-winning dining, and a variety of entertainment options in these areas.
In 1985, Riverside and Riverside Annex were listed in the National Register of Historic Places; and in 1989 Avondale was added to that list. In 1990, the City of Jacksonville adopted a Historic Preservation Element as a part of the Comprehensive Plan, which defines the City’s role in historic preservation issues and concerns. And in August of 1997, the Historic Preservation Guidelines for the Riverside-Avondale Historic District were published. The local historic districts in Jacksonville are Riverside, Avondale, Springfield, and St. Johns Quarter.
