Riverfront suburb full of midcentury properties
Located off the banks of St. Johns River 8 miles from Downtown Jacksonville, most of the homes in the midcentury modern homes of San Jose feature grassy front lawns adorned with bushes and flower beds, shaded by large oaks dripping with moss. Although there are large estate-style homes on the waterfront, properties get smaller further in from the river, creating a range of vintage styles and forms to choose from. "San Jose has historic homes, several planned developments and gated communities along the river with private multi-million-dollar properties," says Julie Bavington, a Senior Real Estate Specialist with eXp Northeast Florida. Local fast-casual restaurants like the French Pantry and basketball courts at Crabtree Park act as gathering spaces for locals, especially teens, contributing to the calm, midcentury suburban vibe. On the east side of the neighborhood, near the tracks, passing trains and the adjacent railyard can be a source of background noise for some.
