The Neighborhood:

Welcome to Riverside, one of Jacksonville's most charming and historic neighborhoods. Known for its local character, Riverside is home to independent coffee shops, breweries, restaurants, vintage stores, and colorful murals that give the area a relaxed, creative vibe. It's a great place to experience a more authentic side of Jacksonville while still being just a short drive from Downtown, Avondale, and many of the city's top attractions.



The neighborhood is a mix of historic homes, locally owned businesses, and long-time residents, so you can expect a lived-in community rather than a tourist district. You'll also find several parks nearby, making it easy to enjoy a walk or spend time outdoors. Whether you're visiting for work or a weekend getaway, Murray Hill offers a convenient location with plenty to explore close by.



Getting Around:

Car, Uber and Lyft. Murray Hill is also one of the city's more walkable neighborhoods, with local coffee shops, restaurants, breweries, and boutiques just a short walk from the cottage.
