I grew up on Ft George, near the Talbot Islands. That's the "northside", but nothing like the Moncrief or Norwood areas. Just because it's north of downtown, they call it the Northside. Jacksonville's bad neighborhoods are everywhere. They should be more specific when they're reporting crimes. They shouldn't just smack a "Northside" label on it. They should use the subdivision name. The Westside has the same stigma. Riverside is in the "westside" and is nothing like Cassat or Lane Avenue areas. But, let's be honest here, people are trying to distance their areas from the negative press certain neighborhoods get for their criminal activity. Jacksonville is the biggest city in America by square miles. North, south, east, west are too broad a term for reporting news. When they go to San Marco and do a report on a breast cancer benefit, they don't say they're on the Southside, but it IS south of the median that would describe it as such. It's only when they report crime that a general term is used.
I'm on the Westside, own a home for 20 years and have never had one problem. Not even on my street. The Northside is Dunn and Lem Turner area to me and that's horrible.
That was a great feature. I decided to move to Jacksonville once I retire from the military especially since 295 is very similar to 495 in DC. I was confused on what is the north side of the south side because your terminology is different and unfortunately you don't use the same things I was used to like inside of the beltway or outside of the beltway. I thought I was on the north side but someone told me your Oceanside which confused me because I'm not close to the ocean but hey I'm learning to understand that it's just the Jacksonville way
Its "OCEANWAY" because it WAS the way to the ocean, Back In The day. It IS the North side! and it USED to be a QUIET little community of folks who have lived there for years. Then came River City Marketplace, First Coast High, and more house/apartment developments than you can count. it's Not that quiet little community anymore. People are getting shoved out of their homes because of development that most can't afford, the crime rate has more than tripled, and the traffic is horrendous. Move on up further north to Yulee, that's also a Nightmare. Just turning into noisy, unaffordable living for a lot of North side folks. ☹
Jacksonville is a very eclectic city that is changing rapidly since three years ago. All of the north side is not bad it depends on where you go. Now that housing prices has skyrocketed it’s becoming expensive to move to the north side is some spots.
I'm glad new4jax cleared up some ignorance about the North side being such a bad area and the south side ...aka ....east by a map being the best area. Jacksonville/ Duval is so Large and growing that we really have some very beautiful and nice areas to live/ shop/ entertainment all over town if you just get out and explore.
Northside gets a bad rep for being hood but it's really the northwest side (below the trout river) that's the bad part of the north side. The area near the airport is nothing like Moncrief or Edgewood.
That one thing I don't like about the news stations in Jax's is when they say the Northside, Westside, Southside and Eastside, when they talk about a story, there'r are more than 500 neighborhoods within Jacksonville, so when something happen they should name the area of the city where it happened at by name: LaVilla, Brooklyn, Riverside and Avondale, Springfield, Eastside, Mandarin, San Marco, Ortega, Brentwood, Murray Hill, Arlington, Southpoint etc. y'all get it
The Northside is known as the Neglected Northside to those of us who live here. Only stores they seem to build are Dollar General and Tire stores. Oh, and fast food of course. Infrastructure is lacking.
I’m born and raised in Jacksonville yea people that is from there usually get the geography wrong I’m not sure why I think it is due to the history of the city and where people grew up being taught the wrong sides of town I think due to segregation, but we should just read a map
He is exactly right! It’s those small areas like 32209 and 32208 that are the high crime areas..the rest of the north side is great and middle class and even upper middle class… More great areas on the north than bad areas!
Northwest Jax to the North side is like Game of Thrones... The House of Starkes consider their area the North but the people over the great wild consider that the REAL North !!!
Yeah, now you blabbed your mouth and let the secret get out lol I grew up on the north side right off Dunn. The north side is more rural than anything. But it’s quiet and most people are friendly. It’s charm is in its solitude and nature. Inspiring more development will fuss the vibe.
What about the people who's been staying over there for 40 and 50 years they have no problem the people who have a problem conduct their self around that just because you see a little horrific things in your life now your sentimental crazy grow up Jacksonville the north side is one of the best sides palm trees sunny skies malls stay focused
Lifelong Jacksonville repper, and let me break it down: Most people who talk bad about Northside couldn't hack it, and maybe it's good. The Northside is getting too crowded anyway. I don't condone the crime that happens, but it comes from being involved in the streets. I'm a true Northsider as I've lived on 5300 block of Norwood Ave (Norwood area) right behind the Flea Market before moving to 32218, so I got the hood experience and the peace & quiet. NORTHSIDE BREAKDOWN: Dunn Ave. is the dividing line between Northside's good & bad. South of Dunn, Northside is hood, North of Dunn going towards the Airport, there's very little crime. 32208-09 are the hood areas of Northside where a lot of crime happens.
Im moving to Jacksonville and I don’t know anything about this place or even Florida . Would I be able tell you a few more zip codes / places to see if they’re in a good area
They do the same thing with Riverside because it gets more views and attention. And every time I look nine times out of 10 it's not Riverside. And I don't even like Riverside.
This is comical. The "northwest" has been the NORTH side since I could remember; Accepted by All sides of the Jacksonville community. If you were to ask any Jacksonville native which Jenkins is their fav in Jax, they will probably say "the one on the north side". And if you know then you know. Just say you are rebranding for gentrification purposes because this story is suspect. Why do you care to name names now?
Well people don't want to say north west...but I know the difference..but if he were black would have he gotten a response...because people know the difference...so I guess you guys going to change the name no start calling the Northside something else....example Southside is called baymedows...Westside orange park sooo[ look for a name for the Northside not the northwest side

I grew up on the north side off Kings rd and grand area. I still live on the north side but in Oceanway. Big big difference.
Grand park?

Congratulations now the city about to move to the north side 🤣🤣… there goes your peace and quiet…

This was interesting, I learned that I'm on the Northwest side of Jacksonville.

Northside is interesting Heaven or hell depending on how you look at it I lived on the northside my whole life
Raised in P-1. Back in the day it was fun.
I’m from Palm Beach, and I love Jacksonville. I have relatives and friends from Palm Beach that moved to Jacksonville!
The Northside is known as the Neglected Northside to those of us who live here. Only stores they seem to build are Dollar General and Tire stores. Oh, and fast food of course. Infrastructure is lacking.
Looks like they need a zone 7, split zone 6 in half. They have way too much crime and need more officers in both zones.
Ocean way is not the same back in the day. In the 70's. It has changed big time.

More great areas on the north than bad areas!
What side is Arlington??
Geographically the east side, but it's often grouped with the southside.
Hoodville Jacksonville
How about Westside ? Love Duval 🤟🏻❤️💋
Yessss🥰
I like how she tried to correct me… but it’s cool
Soooo true
Northwest Jax to the North side is like Game of Thrones... The House of Starkes consider their area the North but the people over the great wild consider that the REAL North !!!
I grew up Sherwood Forest
Yeah, now you blabbed your mouth and let the secret get out lol I grew up on the north side right off Dunn. The north side is more rural than anything. But it’s quiet and most people are friendly. It’s charm is in its solitude and nature. Inspiring more development will fuss the vibe.
They're coming anyway. Let's just hope they're friendly.
Arlington it is 20 mins from everywhere your gonna spend 1200 a month to live you might as well do it in Arlington
Tom is Jacksonville!
I grow up on Dunn Avenue
What about the people who's been staying over there for 40 and 50 years they have no problem the people who have a problem conduct their self around that just because you see a little horrific things in your life now your sentimental crazy grow up Jacksonville the north side is one of the best sides palm trees sunny skies malls stay focused
Kate William's couldn't have said it better. EVERY CITY HAS (ONE) HOOD BUT NOT JACKSONVILLE LMAO.
Ocean way is hell city always been people over here and police treat people bad. This on god
More so the north west side, but in the end, all of Jax is infected with all these crimes

Is 32218 a zip code in a good area ??
@@babyjj123456778 Yes, 32218 consists of all neighborhoods close to the Airport from Dunn Ave. on up.
Im moving to Jacksonville and I don’t know anything about this place or even Florida . Would I be able tell you a few more zip codes / places to see if they’re in a good area
@@babyjj123456778 Yes, but keep in mind Jacksonville zips consist of good & bad neighborhoods.
Would the ortega farms , Goodbys creek or the Biscayne area be good for families ?
My hood ain't the hood lol
They do the same thing with Riverside because it gets more views and attention. And every time I look nine times out of 10 it's not Riverside. And I don't even like Riverside.
The worst side to live.

Exactly. He's quiet about the east and Southside too.
Well people don't want to say north west...but I know the difference..but if he were black would have he gotten a response...because people know the difference...so I guess you guys going to change the name no start calling the Northside something else....example Southside is called baymedows...Westside orange park sooo[ look for a name for the Northside not the northwest side
some kkk logic
Why is the black lady wearing a mask?
We all know what demographic is responsible for all of this chaos.
Oh so sad for them slave owners.🤦
Lol strangers to the Northside be wary. Heard a lot of extinct Indians live over there.
I wouldnt go there is I were white.. be smart.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
We love white folks gon n spend some money
@@jitfrmduval9044 facts
You are so damn ignorant! There’s plenty of white people on the north side. 😂
@@jovanmonroe461 those people are not white
