North Jacksonville Real Estate & Homes for Sale in Florida

Located in Northeast Florida, the city of Jacksonville is known as “The River City” due to its position along the banks of the St. Johns River. Originally the home of Native Americans, the first Europeans arrived in the area in 1562. Today, Jacksonville is a major port with a diverse economy. It is the largest city in terms of square miles in the U.S. and includes many Duval County communities, such as Atlantic Beach, Neptune Beach and Jacksonville Beach.

North Jacksonville, also known as the Northside area, is considered to be everything north of the St. Johns River and East of New Kings Road. This area has been home to many well-known local political figures and now includes many new and reenergized neighborhoods. Real estate options consist of single-family homes, condominiums, townhouses, homesites and affordable undeveloped land.

North Jacksonville is home to the JAXPORT Cruise Terminal, Jacksonville International Airport and Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens. North Jacksonville also has limitless opportunities to enjoy the ocean and beautiful Florida scenery at Kathryn Abbey Hanna Park, Fort George Island National Park and Huguenot Memorial Park on Fort George Island. Easily accessible from Heckscher Drive, Talbot Island State Parks is a chain of barrier islands located north of the river, offering miles of spectacular drive-on beaches and a multitude of recreational activities.
