SAN MARCO
The San Marco area, located along the river and near downtown, was developed at the same time as Riverside/Avondale. Centered in the San Marco shopping district, homes in the area range from Mediterranean- style homes built in the 1920s, to homes recently renovated or rebuilt.
Apartment buildings and condominiums are a popular choice
for many young professionals who enjoy the close proximity to work, popular
restaurants and entertainment spots. In addition to the shopping village
featuring old-fashioned street lamps, a historic fountain and an array of
unique and elegant shops, San Marco is home to Theater Jacksonville, Southside
Baptist Church and several beautiful parks. The neighborhood hosts a number
of special activities and festivities during the year.
