Developments on the westside of Jacksonville
Hillcrest is remembered in Lynyrd Skynyrd lyrics as "Shantytown," but today, the Van Zant House, where founding band members grew up, is increasingly surrounded by new homes. The neighborhood sprang up in the 1950s and started to change in the 1980s. "It's a well-established neighborhood, but with recent revitalization and development efforts, there is a lot of new construction," says area resident Art Doring, owner and broker at Front Porch Realty. Today, the community is seeing new homes, with half of the available listings dating from the last five years. The community sits within 5 miles of two Amazon fulfillment centers and Ascension St. Vincent's, significant employers for the city.
Many homes have access to the Cedar River for year-round water spots activity.
New townhomes have smaller yards, with less yard work.
