Lackawanna - Jacksonville, FL Area Guide

Niche Reviews Niche logo

The Lackawanna neighborhood of Jacksonville, Florida sits west of downtown. Rental opportunities here include single-floor homes and apartments. Newcomers easily find their way around the neighborhood due to its gridded streets. Much of the original architecture, dating back to when the area was a hub for a streetcar line, remains, giving the area historic charm. For fun and relaxation, residents enjoy the outdoors at Mallison Park and Center. The park features both lighted and unlighted athletic fields and courts, giving locals ample opportunity to break a sweat. The picnic areas are perfect for quiet lunches, and the swimming pool is available for exercise or just cooling off from the Florida sun.

I live in an area where there's lots of trees, but little natural wildlife.
