Avondale Homes for Sale
A historic riverside district of 1920s architecture, brick streets, and walkable dining along the Shoppes of Avondale.
Living in Avondale
Avondale is one of Jacksonville's signature historic neighborhoods, with colonial revival, Tudor, and bungalow homes lining brick streets a few blocks from the St. Johns River.
The Shoppes of Avondale anchor a walkable core of restaurants and boutiques, and the district's protected character keeps demand steady across price points.
Where it is
Avondale lies along the St. Johns River just southwest of downtown Jacksonville, next to Riverside; together they form the Riverside Avondale historic district. St. Johns Avenue is the spine, with the Shoppes of Avondale at its center and Boone Park a few blocks over. Downtown is under ten minutes, and the Fuller Warren Bridge links to the Southbank and I-95.
The homes
The housing is what people come for: 1920s and 1930s colonial revivals, Tudors, Mediterranean revivals, and craftsman bungalows on brick streets, plus a smaller stock of condos and townhomes near the river. Many homes have been renovated over the last two decades, and the gap between a restored home and an original-condition one is wide.
The historic district protects exterior character, so buyers pay for the streetscape and the architecture, and sellers do well when the interior matches. Homes that still need a full renovation attract investors and renovators, which is one reason cash offers are common here.
Who buys here
Professionals who work downtown or at the hospitals in Riverside, buyers who want to walk to dinner, and people who fall for a specific house. Avondale rarely has much inventory at once, so most buyers watch for weeks and move fast when the right one lists.

Avondale questions
Does the historic district limit what I can do to a home in Avondale?
Exterior changes in the Riverside Avondale historic district go through a review process. Interior renovations do not. We walk sellers and buyers through what that means for a specific property before anyone makes an offer.
How do prices in Avondale compare with Riverside?
They move together, with individual streets and renovation quality mattering more than the neighborhood label. Ask for the comparable sales on any home and you will see the range for that block.
Is Avondale walkable?
Yes. The Shoppes of Avondale, Boone Park, and the riverfront are all within a few blocks of most of the neighborhood.
