The city’s first neighborhood, Springfield residents work together to revive the neighborhood pride and restore the neighborhood to its original glory. Tree-lined streets, victorian homes both new and old, and abundant parks are the key to the appeal of this neighborhood. The proximity to downtown, I-95 and Shands Hospital are also key points for new residents.
Springfield is an historic district with regulations about modifications to the homes and any new construction. You’ll want to consult the neighborhood organization, Springfield Restoration and Revitalization Council (SPAR) and the City of Jacksonville’s Historic Preservation Commission to learn more.
If you’re looking for a friendly urban neighborhood with lots of social activities and a great sense of community, this is the place for you. Springfield has a Mommies Group, an Animal Care and Rescue Club, a Women’s Club and Improvement Association, and a great “First Friday” house party that you won’t want to miss.
