Murray Hill was once a small town
In Murray Hill, near downtown Jacksonville, pedestrians and bicyclists often pass century-old homes and colorful murals. Once an incorporated town, Murray Hill became a part of the city in 1925. Today, the neighborhood offers an eclectic blend of older homes, green spaces and restaurants. "I've spent time in Murray Hill, and what's always mentioned is the historic value and vibe of the homes. They are held to a different standard," says Chance Pollart, a Jacksonville resident and Realtor with Momentum Realty. The community also has a robust yet casual dining scene along Edgewood Avenue. The area is considered a part of the city's Riverside-Avondale area, known for its historic architecture and artistic charm. "Murray Hill definitely has an artistic style, being close to the Riverside area," Pollart says. Public art characterizes this part of Jacksonville, which includes portions of the Downtown Public Art Tour. A new mural was recently commissioned for an overpass on Roosevelt Boulevard, with a plan to add a lighting display.

Shopping and Dining on Edgewood Avenue
Several local eateries and storefronts line Edgewood Avenue. Allen Williams, a Real Estate Advisor at Lokation Real Estate, says that Murray Hill "has cool, young vibes with unique restaurants and breweries." The popular spot, Moon River Pizza, sells custom pies in a brightly colored, funky setting with unique artistic displays. Vegan dining options include Murray Hillbilly - Vegan Restaurant and The Walrus, a local bar with boozy smoothies. Fishweir Brewing Company is known for its trendy yet laid-back atmosphere and wide selection of drinks. The Murray Hill Farmers Market is held in the brewery's parking lot every Wednesday from 5-8 p.m. The neighborhood is also home to Jacksonville's oldest dessert stand, The Dreamette, which only accepts cash payments. Pollart recommends restaurants in the nearby Riverside community to the east. "Blue Orchid Thai Cuisine on Riverside Avenue is by the water, next to Memorial Park," Pollart says. To the west, at Normandy Village retail center, are more local businesses and a Winn-Dixie supermarket.

Around here we have Riverside/ Avondale area with a lot of cute shops there. In that area we also have a lot of great restaurants like The Brick, The Mellow Mushroom, Mojos.. and the list goes on. We also have five points and they have cute shops and great food places also. We have a few Frozen yogurt places to go to which are really nice and delicious.

I recently bought a house here and I must say I like it. My backyard is HUGE and my block is super quiet and somewhat neat. I like being near I-10 and being able to get anywhere within minutes. I also like that there is a big variety of everything you need here. There is no shortage of food--Winn Dixie on Normandy, 2 Publixs that I know of near, a Walmart up the street, an Aldi within minutes, lots of choices on fast food--KFC, Popeyes, and Church's all within a block or so of each other, so many good choices of restaurants near. Very close to Riverside and Avondale, which shares the same zipcode. I feel good about buying here.
