Historic farmland, now a residential area
Just 10 miles away from downtown Jacksonville is the small neighborhood of Dinsmore. Historically known for its agricultural industry, Dinsmore is now a primarily residential area with spacious rural homes and farm-to-table dining. "There are two local farms in the area where you can have first-hand agricultural dining experiences that are quite unique, being so close to the city," says Orlando Spencer, the broker and owner of O-Luxury Realty.
There are many farms in Dinsmore.

A variety of homes
Dinsmore offers a variety of house styles and sizes, including modest cottages and prairie-inspired multistory dwellings from the early 20th century, 1950s ranch-style homes and modern farmhouses. Many houses are set back from the street on half-acre lots, while modern developments offer sprawling lawns on one- to two-acre lots. Older houses are priced between $125,000 and $250,000, with exceptions (including multi-acre lots and inground swimming pools) extending to $400,000.
Recently built subdivisions like the Waterbrook Falls development offer modern houses with stucco exteriors, ranging in price from $150,000 to $350,000. Mediterranean-inspired houses with arched windows are priced closer to $400,000, and the development includes cleared lots for buyers looking to design and build a custom home.

Green parks and blue rivers
Dinsmore Playground is a small gathering space next to the public elementary. In 2023, the Dinsmore Neighborhood Civic Association installed an updated playground with new equipment. The grounds also feature a multipurpose field, basketball and tennis courts. The Dinsmore Sports Association utilizes the four baseball diamonds along Civic Club Drive for recreation league matches while children enjoy the nearby playground.
Because the Trout River leads to the greater St. Johns River, which feeds the city's many waterways, locals can embark on adventures beginning at the Dinsmore Boat Ramp along a bank off US 23. Locals without boat access can fish and enjoy water views from the Trout River bridge.
