Southside Estates
Neighborhood Reviews
Ranch-style homes and bungalows line the area's residential streets
In the 1960s, the Pearce-Uible Company, a prominent land development firm, purchased over 200 acres east of the downtown area. Southside Estates was planned in addition to several other nearby housing zones. Today, established subdivisions and apartment complexes can be found among more spacious single-household dwellings. Mid-century apartments, modest ranch-style rambler homes and bungalows are heavily featured, including clusters of tract housing. Versatile housing options that include driveways, green lawns and tall trees make Southside Estates an attractive option for future residents.The boulevards feature retail and family-friendly attractions
Retail districts align along Atlantic Boulevard and Beach Boulevard in the north and southern section of Southside Estates. Big-box stores and diverse small local businesses continue to stimulate the community. Fast food chains and local restaurants add even more variety to the multi-use neighborhood. The Beach Boulevard Flea Market, touted as Jacksonville's largest flea and farmer's market, sits in the southeastern corridor of Southside Estates. Here, locals find fresh fruit, house decor and other valuable treasures.A few miles from Southside Estates is a collection of attractions that are frequently visited by Jacksonville residents. The Alahambra Theater, the oldest dinner theater in operation in the country, provides a dining and recreational experience. The nearby Hands-on Children's Museum is an exciting excursion for households with young members. The museum has encouraged learning through interactive sensory exhibits for over twenty years.
Brookview Park and Southside Estate Park offer green space
Southside Estates contains two parks with a combined 45 acres of park space within the city's extensive parks system. Although neither public spaces are considered Jacksonville's top parks, Brookview Park and Southside Estate Park have provided an outdoor escape to residents for decades. Brookview Park is just over seven acres of shared green space in Southside Estates. Positioned next to the Brookview subdivision and Brookview Elementary, the park opened in the 1960s. Brookview Park contains two baseball fields, a playground, and a basketball court available for public use. Picnic tables, park benches, and restrooms allow for comfort and relaxation during visits. Covered pavilions set the stage for long afternoons in the park on warm days. Southside Estates Elementary School Park is a dedicated recreational green space celebrating an American pastime. Locally called "South Estates Ball Park," the park features four baseball diamonds that frequently host community-organized baseball games. Batting tunnels, bleachers and covered dugouts complete the park's baseball experience. Residents who enjoy watching and playing baseball can be found here cheering on their favorite team during game days. Concession stands are open during games, while bathroom facilities are always accessible. Past the baseball fields are lush walking trails that highlight north Florida's natural environment.Duval County public schools and Center Academy serve local students
Southside Estates Elementary School, which receives a B-minus rating from Niche, has taught prekindergarten to fifth-grade students for decades.

Brookview Elementary, which also holds a B-minus, is an enduring public schoolhouse with a large student body of kindergarten through fifth graders.

The crime is horrible. Sometimes i'm scared to even walk out of my house, especially at night. I don't feel safe at all, crime is all around. Police are hidden or never around.

Niche Review
I have grown up here nearly my whole life, for the most part everyone is very close and very friendly. It is a good neighborhood to walk through and there is a park a few blocks from my house. My only complaint is that in the past year the park has been undergoing construction, meaning no one can access it, despite nothing being wrong with it.
