Downtown, LaVilla & Brooklyn

Duval County

Welcome to the heart of JAX! Downtown Jacksonville is part corporate, part culture and lots of character. CSX Corporation, FIS and other high-rise companies have headquarters in the city’s core. Weekdays are a hubbub of business activity, while evenings and weekends are reserved for fun. Five pro and semi-pro athletic teams play in downtown Jacksonville, including the Jacksonville Jaguars. Eat your arts heart out at one of the numerous museums and galleries that showcase established and local artists. Leave your car at home: Downtown Jacksonville is easily accessible on foot, bicycle, the Skyway, rickshaws and tuk-tuks, automated vehicles and water taxi. That’s right. Like many of the JAX neighborhoods, downtown and Brooklyn are nestled on the St. Johns River. Enjoy urban-style living in a loft, condo, townhome or restored historic buildings in LaVilla, formerly known as the “Harlem of the South” for its history as a center for Black culture.
