Around Lakeshore

Houses in the area vary from postwar bungalows to Spanish Colonial style estates that dominate the waterfront and inland areas. North of San Juan Avenue, Lakeshore Terrace hosts mid-century homes developed on huge lots during the 1950’s. There’s plenty of space to find one’s niche in this area.

Run-of-the mill fast food and Southern BBQ draws residents from outlying areas to Lakeshore. Spots along San Juan Avenue are owned by a number of locally known chefs who practice their craft of Southern BBQ. If you’re hungry for a juicy rack of rips, there are few places in Jacksonville that can give a better experience than Lakeshore.

Lakeshore offers full-service marina facilities along the northwest bank of the Cedar River. It’s popular throughout the region for water-based recreation, offering places along an inland tidal calm that makes it easy to get your boat in-and-out. Residents tend to congregate in the area’s parks on the weekends for leisurely afternoons.

Lakeshore lends itself to a calmer life due to its neighborly, residential character. Businesses tend to close around 9, so many simply get dinner or flock to the neighboring Riverside and Murray Hill areas where there’s an active nightlife.

Take a walk in the park with one of your pets and embrace the quiet atmosphere of the neighborhood. For those feeling adventurous, try skiing on the Cedar River, or simply grab a few buddies and see what you catch. With adequate facilities, there are plenty of boats to rent out, and you’re never too far away from a boat ramp.
