I love Riverside neighborhood in Jacksonville, Florida. I grew up in Jacksonville and knew early on that Riverside was the area for me. It has thriving arts and music scenes as well as a diversity that I look for in my community. Along with those attributes, it has beautiful older homes with tons of parks and river front outdoor spaces. It was voted top 5 neighborhoods in America a few years back.

I love the elementary school, it's very old and historic. The teachers and family's are great. The only thing I'd change is parking lol.. overall riverside is a great place, historic and quiet. I live living here.

Hovan is a locally owned Mediterranean restaurant in the Five points area of Riverside. The cuisine is authentic and the staff are a pleasure to interact with. Hovan hands down has the best gyros in town. It also features a patio area right in the center of Five Points were you can overlook the area filled with shops.
