Downtown Jacksonville offers scenic appeal along the river

Wrapped around the Jacksonville Jaguars' football stadium, the up-and-coming Downtown/Riverfront neighborhood aptly gets its name from the lengthy coastline it shares with the St. Johns River. “There’s lots of new construction and the promise of more new construction to come. This area is definitely still growing,” says Elmir Slavic, a local Realtor with Florida Homes Realty and Mortgage. “Being near the water is definitely one of the biggest things people are looking for and the stadium is a big part of the draw, too. It’s also a matter of convenience and just the fact that a lot of people want to live downtown.”
