Jacksonville, nestled along the St. Johns River in northeastern Florida, offers apartments for rent throughout its diverse neighborhoods. As the largest city by land area in the contiguous United States, Jacksonville spans over 840 square miles and has a population of nearly 1 million residents. The city combines Southern charm with contemporary living, while maintaining relatively affordable housing costs - the average rent for a one-bedroom apartment is $1,316, lower than many other Florida metropolitan areas, even with recent market changes.
Jacksonville residents enjoy both the Atlantic Ocean beaches and the St. Johns River flowing through downtown. The local economy benefits from military installations like Naval Station Mayport and Naval Air Station Jacksonville, along with established financial services and healthcare sectors. Housing options include properties in historic areas like Riverside and Avondale, known for their architectural character, as well as newer developments in the Southside and Arlington areas. Jacksonville's mild climate, extensive park system (the largest urban park network in the nation), and growing arts community contribute to its appeal for renters seeking both value and quality of life.

Apartment Finder utilizes the industry's largest and most complete database of real-time rents and availabilities to help you find an amazing deal on your next rental.
Apartment communities change their rental rates often - sometimes multiple times a day. We track the changes and keep you up to date when a rental rate decreases.
"Best value" units are located in buildings rated three stars or higher. We label apartment rentals that are priced significantly less than similar high-quality units nearby.
Apartment communities regularly advertise deals for new residents. Whether it's a move-in special or a free tv, we locate the rentals that offer a little something extra when you sign your lease.
