Where residents can shop and enjoy a meal
Dinsmore has pockets with logistics companies and other businesses. "It's a bit rural and a little industrial. You've got stores that are off the main thoroughfares," Pennington says. You can pick up groceries at the local butcher shop, Dinsmore Meats, or visit Rowes IGA in the Dunn Village retail center. The shopping space houses popular restaurants, Celestia's Coastal Cuisine, and Dreamette, a local ice cream chain. Dinsmore's rural charm shines at its local farm-to-table restaurant, Congaree and Penn. "You can even buy super green, fresh produce and artwork from local artisans [there]," says Orlando Spencer, the broker and owner of O-Luxury Realty. River City Marketplace, about a 15-minute drive away, includes national stores and restaurants.

Dismore is a beautiful suburb of Jacksonville. It is minutes away from the Jacksonville International Airport and its amenities. Its a great place to raise a family without dealing with crowdiness of more populated parts of the city.
