After the great fire of Jacksonville in 1901, many residents moved to Riverside. The wealthier residents built mansions on the St. Johns River while the less wealthy purchased or constructed smaller bungalows and apartments.

One of the reasons people flock to Riverside is to ensure they're getting a one-of-a-kind, interesting home.

Avondale came after Riverside when developers created a new community for upscale homes. This area became known as a "Residential Ideal" in the 1930s, an area that boasted more property and many Mediterranean-style homes.

The two are now heavily integrated today and often referred to as the same neighborhood.
Today you'll find the same range of homes and upscale apartments here as you would in Riverside.
