Century-old neighborhood in Jacksonville’s Northside

On Jacksonville’s Northwest side, the century-old neighborhood of Brentwood is still active and thriving. “Brentwood has seen substantial growth over the past few years,” says Damion Curry, a Realtor with Keller Williams Jacksonville. “Not only has homeownership increased, but also rental prices.” Brentwood is about 2 miles from the St. Johns River, where locals can enjoy fishing, boating or a relaxing stroll by the bank. Interstate 95 is close by, giving residents convenient access to the rest of the city; Jacksonville beaches are about 25 miles away, and the downtown area is only 3 miles away.

Early 20th century bungalows and other single-story styles

Shaded by tall, towering trees and dotted by the occasional palm tree, homes in Brentwood have developed over the last 100 years, maintaining an impressive array of popular architectural styles with brick and stone exteriors. Single-story homes are typically bungalows, ranch- or prairie-style, and low-pitched roofs from the early 20th century are common; Craftsman-style elements, like wide front porches with tapered support columns, are among the distinct features found across different homes. Modern residences constructed after 2000 also follow the neighborhood trend of charming bungalows with Craftsman-style elements. Curry says the average price of homes in Brentwood is between $120,000 and $190,000; on the higher end, expect 21st-century construction or remodeling and a three-bed, two-bath configuration. “Locals are looking to invest long-term in Brentwood,” says Curry. "The neighborhood has a historic vibe, charming homes with great potential.”

Relaxing in Brentwood Park

Brentwood presents many opportunities to explore the great outdoors. Just 2 miles from residential roads, the St. Johns River is a Jacksonville staple; go fishing for red drum, bluefish and crevalle jack. Catherine Hester McNair Park, known locally as Brentwood Park, is in the neighborhood’s southwest corner; spanning 16 acres, visitors will find basketball courts, grass fields for picnicking and a baseball field. The grounds also feature the Brentwood Park Bandstand, built in 1932; the event space is a unique example of Greek Revival architecture. Brentwood Park is also near a local Boys’ and Girls’ Club, where local youths can play and learn. The Jacksonville Joseph Lee Center is another neighborhood destination; the center often holds community gatherings and provides a basketball court, grills and picnic tables. For a beach day, head 25 miles away to Jacksonville area beaches.

Shopping at the Gateway Town Center

Grab groceries just outside of Brentwood at Winn-Dixie, a local supermarket at the Gateway Town Center. While in the area, search for antiques and treasures at the Norwood Plaza Flea Market. There are also several local eateries, including Bono’s Pit Bar-B-Q, Jacksonville Crab Shack, and Blu Diner, a soul food restaurant. Along Main Street, enjoy more local dining like Caribbean Sunrise Bakery & Restaurant for authentic Jamaican cuisine, including jerk chicken and ox tail.

Jacksonville festivals

While Brentwood is a suburban neighborhood, homes are only 3 miles from the excitement of Downtown Jacksonville streets. Downtown is host to a variety of annual events like the Jacksonville Jazz Festival, Springing the Blues and Caribbean Carnival Weekend, a celebration that includes a parade and promotes local businesses. On NFL game days, expect to see neighbors dressed in teal, black, and golf to support the Jacksonville Jaguars, who play at EverBank Stadium. For those who prefer something quieter, the Brentwood Branch Library is the ideal place to relax with a good book; the Art Deco building is a neighborhood landmark and was once a community theater.

Getting around Jacksonville

The neighborhood is close to Main Street and Interstate 95, so drivers always have convenient access to get where they need to go. While residents typically drive, Jacksonville is walkable in some areas—the S-Line Rail trail is Jacksonville’s first dedicated urban multi-use pathway; the trail meanders through residential roadways, offering an alternative route for pedestrians and cyclists. Along Main Street, residents can catch a bus toward downtown or to Jacksonville beaches. Jacksonville International Airport is a 12-mile drive; UF Health Jacksonville is only a mile away.

Typical under privileged neighborhood with drugs and street violence. The streets are raggedy and will tear up your car. No one really cares because they figure if you live in this area, you likely don't care about life. Rapid gunfire is a normal thing
