Five Points

Bordered and bounded by Stockton Street to the west and Interstates to the north, Jacksonville’s Five Points area is tiny when compared to just about any other well-defined neighborhood in the city. And even this description of the area is lacking in definition, the “real” five points refers to the intersection of Park, Margaret, and Lomax Streets. However, don’t let any artificial boundaries define you or the Five Points area. 

There is a “funk” that defines Five Points that encompasses more than block assignments or street names. Five Points is Jacksonville’s de facto “artsy” area where you’ll find yuppies in business suits dining alongside hippies in torn sweatshirts, and everyone is smiling and getting along fine. The magic of Five Points goes beyond any attempt to capture or define it, it just… is. Don’t try to figure it out, just come down and join in it!

Between the large Riverside Park and riverfront Memorial Park, there are more bars and restaurants than you would imagine. Don’t forget to take a walk beyond the obvious Five Points intersection as there are plenty of great spots to find off the main thoroughfare along Riverside, Post and even along Stockton. 

Here we’ll be bringing a few of these to your attention and for your consideration, but always keep your eye open for the latest thing cropping up as Jacksonville’s Five Points area always seems to be growing something new all the time. Whether you’re looking for familiar comforts, or exotic exceptions, Five Points will feed your soul, and we’ll help guide you there.
