Area Guide
Niche Reviews 
Avondale lies along the southwestern shore of the St. Johns River with houses for rent throughout the neighborhood, many established in the 1920s. Immediately south of the Riverside neighborhood, Avondale features numerous parks, including 28-acre Boone Park, a favorite of local tennis players and picnickers, as well as Willowbranch Park and Fishweir Park. Mediterranean Revival and Prairie School architectural styles characterize this historic Duval County planned residential community four miles southwest of downtown Jacksonville.
The city's Willowbranch Branch Library, near the park, provides Avondale residents with free Internet, meeting rooms, and classes. Locals walk along St. Johns Avenue to shop and dine at restaurants such as Biscottis and MOJO No.4. The popular French establishment, Restaurant Orsay, satisfies hungry locals with its Parisian bistro dishes and wine selections. Neighborhood sports fans can use public transportation to take a quick trip downtown and watch the NFL's Jacksonville Jaguars play at EverBank Field.
