A bike-friendly town full of Old Florida charm

Charm • Historic • Hip • River • Bicycle-Friendly •

Nestled immediately north of Downtown Jacksonville, Springfield is a historic neighborhood with the charm of Old Florida. Springfield’s tree-lined streets are decorated with public art and lined with restored 20th century mansions, trendy eateries, local boutiques, and hip breweries. Visitors and residents alike flock to events held in town like the Jacksonville Porchfest and the Springfield Tour of Homes. While the city allows for easy car travel thanks to its proximity to Highway 1 and Interstate 95, the preferred method for in-town travel is by bike. Several trails like the S-Line Urban Greenway connect residents to different parts of the city including the picturesque parks surrounding Hogans Creek, the town’s western border. Additional outdoor recreation is available less than five minutes away from town along the Saint Johns River.

Some pockets of good neighbors within the community. The visual appeal of the area is mostly rundown and unpleasant. Lots of sidewalks are unsafe and inaccessible for the disabled.

Springfield is a up and coming neighborhood. It has a lot of potential to become a desired area to live in. The houses have a lot of character and most have been renovated and brought back to life but there are still some abandoned homes that can really become beautiful and make the area complete; along with the abandoned business buildings this neighborhood can really become something due to a lot of buildings being in close walking distance.

I think it's so important to surround yourself with people who offer different backgrounds. Not only does my neighborhood offer that, but everyone is so friendly about their differences too.
