While not currently a safe neighborhood, it is a growing area with homes being built and businesses popping up everywhere. There are a few niche things to do here- visit CattyShack, explore pumpkin hill preserve, go out to eat, visit the gym, etc.

Oceanway is a little (big) town where everybody knows everybody. In Hidden Creek, all of our neighbors know each other and look out for each other. I can allow my almost 10 year old to run up and down our street during the day without worrying about her excessively. I know that no matter what, the kids have at least one pair of eyes on them at all times.

Most of the employment in Northside Jacksonville, FL is through fast food chains and family operated businesses. Soon though, Shands will be opening another hospital in River City Marketplace which will open more employment opportunities. But better jobs are about 15-45 minute drive away, usually in Southside.
