Jacksonville neighborhoods

Jacksonville - city in USA (Florida), a port on the Atlantic Ocean. It occupies one of the most desirable places on the Atlantic coast. Nestled among abundant beaches and with an ideal subtropical climate, its jewel in the crown is the unique habitat and natural beauty of the St. Johns. For this and more reasons, River City is a popular destination for vacationers looking for a laid-back escape to Sunshine State.

Characteristic

Andrew Jackson Memorial, near Jacksonville Landing

The city is located in the Northeast region Florida, about 40 km south of the state Georgia and approximately 340 miles (547 km) north of Miami.

Jacksonville is the largest city by area in Florida and the neighboring United States. It is the seat of Duval County, into which the city government consolidated in 1968. This amalgamation gave Jacksonville its great size and placed most of its larger metropolitan population within the city limits; With a population of 880,619, it is the most populous city in Florida and the eleventh in the United States. As of 2010, the surrounding Greater Jacksonville metropolitan area had a population of 1,345,596.

Simply put, Jacksonville is an authentic Florida city. Its economy is diverse and not entirely based on tourism. Port improvements since the late 19th century made Jacksonville a major military and civilian deepwater port. Its riverside location is facilitated by two US naval bases and the port of Jacksonville, the third largest seaport in Florida. Important industries in the local economy include services such as banking, insurance, healthcare and logistics. Even so, Jacksonville is still a city in Florida, and tourism is important to the area, especially for its historical, cultural and environmental values.

Home to a powerful financial industry, this underrated cosmopolitan city, once honored with the "Insurance Capital of the South" and "Winter Film Capital of the World," is a blend of Northern aesthetics and Southern charm. The combination of a rich architectural diversity, influential African-American ancestors, and significant musical contributions made Jacksonville an international attraction for a relatively small piece of the world. The city is listed as a high-sufficiency world city in the World Cities Study Group inventory, ranked alongside Salt Lake City and Las Vegas.

History

The area was first inhabited by the Timucua people, and in 1564 it was the site of the French colony of Fort Caroline, one of the earliest European settlements in the continental United States. Under British rule, settlement developed at a narrow point in the river where cattle crossed, known as Wacca Pilatka for the Native Americans, Seminole, and Cowford for the British. In 1822, a year after the United States took over the colony of Florida from Spain, it became a city of plague; was named after Andrew Jackson, the first military governor of Florida territory and the seventh president of the United States.

Communication

The Jacksonville Skyway connects the Southbank and Northbank districts of Downtown

Jacksonville is sprawling, and most of the city's most popular sites are not within walking distance of each other except in the city center. There, the monorail service is free and connects the north and south riverside, offering travelers a great view of the city and an easy route to their destination. Most travelers to Jacksonville will want to go out, see the beaches, shop and dine in the shopping areas or visit historic sites and parks. Without a car, it would be impossible or much more difficult. Unless you plan to stay on the beaches or downtown, the bus journey can be time consuming and too expensive in a taxi.

By public transport

Jacksonville Transportation Authority (JTA) operates the Skyway monorail system in the heart of Jacksonville and a fairly extensive regional bus network. The Rosa Parks transit station is the main interchange between the systems. Almost all bus lines and both Skyway lines stop at Rosa Parks.

Skyway is a free automated people moving system in downtown Jacksonville. Eight stations are in the Northbank, Southbank and LaVilla districts. The system is open to commuters from 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Extended hours vary depending on special events, check the JTA website if you plan to travel downtown over the weekend.

Frequency buses it ranges from 30 minutes to an hour. The buses are quite comfortable, but the JTA buses have problems with the punctuality. Buses do not run after midnight and many bus lines stop around 8 PM or 9 PM. All buses are connected via GPS to a central control system, and the stops are well signposted throughout the city.

Taxi

Taxis are available but expensive due to the city's expansion. Jacksonville is not New York. Taxis are not readily available in every part of the city, although they can be found at some downtown tourist destinations and hotels. The service is also easily accessible at the airport.

By car

Given the huge area that covers Jacksonville (the largest city in the continental United States), cars are the only practical way to get around. Lyft and Uber are well established in the city and are by far the most practical and affordable means of transportation if you don't have your own car. You must have a smartphone and their applications.

Car rental is also a convenient form of transportation for visitors, with local companies offering better prices, but national chains offering more convenience over return policies and deadlines.

Car rental companies include:
