If we were to objectify Jacksonville, we would describe it as a bag of marbles. More specifically, a bag of marbles spilled out onto a flat table with standing water. Every marble would symbolize a neighborhood. If the analogy isn’t exact, what we’re trying to say is that Jacksonville has many beautiful neighborhoods spread out far and wide. Jacksonville doesn’t have one central hub, it’s a cluster of many small districts, and because of that, it lacks a central city feel.

With neighborhoods spread out far and wide, car transportation is necessary, and this phenomenon creates a very diverse community.

From the Beaches to Downtown and from Arlington to Ortega, you will experience completely different vibes, landscapes, people, and charm. We created this section to help you navigate the many areas that Jacksonville has to offer.
