San Jose Apartments for Rent

The San Jose neighborhood of Jacksonville, Florida, is sandwiched between the Lakewood and Brierwood neighborhoods of Jacksonville, on the eastern shore of the St. Johns River. Located in the 32217 zip code, it is bordered by San Jose Boulevard to the west and Powers Avenue to the east, and by Dupont Avenue to the north and Goodby’s Creek to the south.

San Jose is great place for young families to live. It is home to one of the best schools in Jacksonville, the Bolles School, and its proximity to the St. Johns River makes it a great place to enjoy water sports, like fishing, water skiing, boating, and swimming. The San Jose area is also home to the San Jose Country Club, which offers its members a premiere destination for golf, tennis, fitness, aquatics, and fine dining. San Jose also hosts the Epping-Forest Yacht Club, which offers a world-class marina, fitness center, tennis courts, aquatics area, and dining opportunities from gourmet to cafe.

San Jose Boulevard is a major Jacksonville artery that will take travelers to I-295 to the south and straight into the heart of downtown Jacksonville to the north (where it becomes Hendricks Avenue before meeting the Fuller Warren Bridge). It is a mere couple of westerly miles to US Highway 1, which will take drivers north to I-95 or south to historic Saint Augustine. The neighborhood of San Jose itself contains plenty of shopping and dining opportunities. From chain restaurants and privately owned award-winning dining establishments (like Osaka Japanese Restaurant), to antique shops (San Jose Antique Mall) and big box stores like Target and Wal-Mart, San Jose has something for everyone.
