Brooklyn - Jacksonville, FL Area Guide

Florida's St. Johns River runs along the east side of Brooklyn, a residential neighborhood that borders I-95 in the exciting city of Jacksonville. No longer tied to its pre-Civil War roots as an agricultural area, this revitalized urban Duval County enclave provides a wealth of apartments for rent. Locals shop at Fresh Market and at Five Points, a historic district nearby. A mix of long-time and new residents and structures characterizes this riverside community in Florida's northeast corner, two miles southwest of downtown Jacksonville. Locals gather at J.S. Johnson Park for picnics and tennis and enjoy hanging out together at its community center. Two-acre Brooklyn Park, another local favorite place to relax, features a baseball field and basketball court. For food, fun, and views from the rooftop, neighbors choose to dine at Burrito Gallery - Brooklyn, and they also frequent Zoe's Kitchen for lunch and dinner.
