Clifton sits along the St. Johns River on the eastern side of Jacksonville, offering quick Mathews Bridge access to downtown offices, arts venues, and game days. Streets lined with long-established trees shelter a mix of classic mid-century houses and thoughtfully updated homes, prized for generous yards and river breezes. Its location within Duval County keeps daily errands simple, with shopping corridors in nearby Arlington.
Residents who love the outdoors enjoy neighborhood boat ramps and the network managed by City of Jacksonville Parks, plus trails at the Jacksonville Arboretum & Botanical Gardens. Families appreciate access to Duval County Public Schools and the convenience of higher learning at Jacksonville University, just up the river. Weekends bring easy outings to the riverfront Museum of Science & History or the timeless Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens, both a short drive away.
Dining spans casual staples in Arlington to chef-driven spots in San Marco, while a growing roster of local businesses adds day-to-day ease. With waterfront sunsets, quick commutes, and a calm neighborhood rhythm, Clifton offers a compelling blend for first-time buyers, move-up households, and downshifters alike.
