A history of railroads and industry
Located 4 miles northwest of downtown Jacksonville, Grand Park is a hamlet of well-maintained ranch-style homes near industrial employers like railcar producer TTX. Named after the nearby Grand Junction railroad crossing, Grand Park was established in the early 20th century to house railroad and industrial workers; today, the neighborhood attracts buyers looking for an affordable home near downtown. "Grand Park is populated by renters and long-term homeowners," says Alisha Polite, a Realtor with Momentum Realty who’s sold homes in the area. The Johnnie W. Walker Park and Community Center is a popular neighborhood hangout with a pool, athletic fields and youth sports leagues. With downtown Jacksonville a short car or bus ride away, locals are close to the best of Jacksonville’s shopping and entertainment.

Budget-friendly midcentury modern homes
"Grand Park contains a lot of budget-friendly options for first-time buyers and typically attracts investors looking for residential properties,” Polite says. Most homes here are 1960s and ‘70s ranch-style or midcentury modern, but some are bungalows from the 1910s, or 21st-century minimal traditional. Grand Park’s age can be felt in its mature trees that shade well-maintained sidewalks, and residents take pride in their small lawns and gardens. Prices here range from $60,000 for a three-bedroom fixer-upper built in 1914 to $225,000 for a three-bedroom minimal traditional home built in 2023.

This is a high crime neighborhood where drive by shootings take place. Besides that, I tried jogging in this neighborhood a few times but I learned the hard way that people don't always keep their aggressive dogs fenced in. So now I have a gym membership that is outside of the neighborhood.
