The Northside of Jacksonville, Fl is developing , but still encompasses aspects of the rural life. There are cows, green fields, and thriving forested areas still intact. New communities are springing up everywhere. Some of the most notable are along Busch Drive, Alta Drive, Strratt Road, and New Berlin Road, and Amelia View. Amelia View will have homes starting in the low $220,000. It is anticipated that lot sizes will be a quarter to a half-acre in size and the planned amenities include gazebos, lakes, parks, and pools. Industrial parks merge with the landscape and there are acres of undeveloped land adjacent to many businesses. Businesses located along Busch Drive include Anheuser Busch, Smurfit-Stone Container Corp., and Bacardi Bottling Corp. Recreational activities involving nature are popular because of the numerous water sources residents may access. A public pond is located behind the Oceanway Community Center on Sago Avenue West offering residents a place to relax and fish. The Northside of Jax FL real estate is a growing area full of promise.
