Florida’s most populated and expansive city

Coastal Riverside Active Vibrant Suburban

Jacksonville is gigantic. At nearly 900 square miles, it is by far the largest city in the contiguous United States, in terms of geographical area. The landscape is so vast and varied that you are almost certain to find any kind of environment that suits you. From the high-rise buildings downtown to the marina condos along the river to the suburban neighborhoods farther from the urban core, your apartment rental options in Jacksonville are nearly endless.

Jacksonville is never short on leisure activities. The dining and entertainment offerings are top notch, from the bustling nightlife in downtown to the upscale shopping at Saint Johns Town Center and everything in between. Football fans will feel right at home in Jacksonville as NFL Jaguars games tend to draw big crowds no matter how the team is doing. The Jags’ home field has also served as neutral turf for the annual University of Florida-University of Georgia rivalry game each Halloween weekend for decades.

The city limits contain a mind-boggling 111,000 acres of public parks and nature preserves, ensuring that you are never far from a lush green space. Located where the Saint Johns River flows into the Atlantic Ocean, Timucuan Ecological and Historic Preserve is one of Jacksonville’s most popular spots for outdoor recreation. Easy access to Atlantic Coast beaches can make the entire city feel like one huge beach town. Locals love heading to nearby beaches for surfing, boating, fishing, and sunbathing.

Restaurants

The South isn't just about barbecue and deep-fried goodies, though there are plenty mouth-watering varieties available in Jacksonville. The best lunch in the city may just be a small little sandwich and salad shop called the French Pantry. Every day around noon you'll see a line out the door as people queue up for their chance at the Tomato Bruschetta salad and other delicious meals available.

Another excellent choice for a date or family outing is the Blue Bamboo. An Asian fusion restaurant, it has excellently crafted mixes between Japanese, Chinese, and Korean dishes that combine some of the best flavors from each.

If breakfast is more your thing than you might want to check out Maple Street Biscuit Company for their "Squawking Goat" which features pepper jelly, goat cheese and fried chicken on a buttery biscuit that will kick anyone awake in the morning.

Shopping

The Avenues Mall, on Southside, is a monster of a complex featuring several hundred stores and kiosks ranging from JC Penny to Sears. Of course, no one would want to spend all their time indoors in Florida, so the St. Johns Town Center on Butler Blvd and I295 features more upscale amenities such as a pottery barn and an Apple Store in an open air setting.
