Jacksonville up close
Springfield was established in 1869 and grew fastest from the early 1880s through the 1920s. Its historic district covers 119 city blocks, and when it was listed it held 1,784 contributing buildings, 1,595 of them wood frame. Old frame houses like these need steady paint, caulk and porch repair.
Riverside was platted in 1868 and became Jacksonville's first historic district in 1985, with 2,120 historic buildings. Avondale followed on the National Register in 1989, mostly in Mediterranean Revival style. Riverside's many bungalows give Jacksonville what is likely the most bungalows in Florida, and those old porches and eaves need regular upkeep.
San Marco broke ground in 1925 on 80 acres of the old Villa Alexandria estate, with 250 lots and a commercial square named for Venice's Piazza San Marco. Builders ended up mixing many styles there in the late 1920s. Houses close to a hundred years old need their roofs, windows and plumbing looked at with care.
J. Pierpont Morgan helped finance Ortega in 1902, and its last building boom came in the 1920s. The Old Ortega Historic District, listed in 2004, holds 597 historic buildings, from riverfront mansions to modest wood frame houses from the early 1900s. Its street names follow column styles like Doric, Ionic and Corinthian.
After the Mathews Bridge opened in 1953, Arlington grew faster than any other part of Jacksonville for two decades. Subdivisions like Sandalwood, started in 1960, spread across the area, along with mid-century modern homes by architects such as Robert C. Broward. Houses from that era are now more than 60 years old, so plumbing and wiring deserve a look.
A house here runs on a totally different schedule than the same house in Atlanta. Full month-by-month calendar for Northeast Florida is here. Short version for Duval County:
A ton of Jacksonville homes sit in flood zones that don't look like flood zones. Grading, gutters and drainage aren't cosmetic here. They're the difference between a wet week and a wet house.
Oaks drop in February, pines drop all year. Your gutters fill twice a year whether you like it or not, and your roof collects junk that holds water.
Your AC runs nine months straight. Filters, coils and the drain line work harder here than almost anywhere in the country. A clogged drain line is the number one ceiling stain in this city. Not a roof leak. The drain line.
