New Town delivers an authentic urban-core experience in Jacksonville, just west of Downtown, where historic roots and new investment intersect. Anchored by Edward Waters University, Florida’s first historically Black university, the neighborhood hums on game days at the on-campus stadium and throughout the week with student-led arts, service, and culture. Green space is close at hand, with baseball history and open fields at James P. Small Park, and the larger Emmett Reed complex nearby for athletics and community programs. When you want a quick change of scenery, eclectic dining in Springfield and the performance calendar at LaVilla’s Ritz Theatre and Museum are a few minutes away in LaVilla.
Families appreciate practical proximity to Susie E. Tolbert Elementary and Eugene J. Butler Middle, plus districtwide magnet and choice options through Duval County Public Schools. The neighborhood’s wraparound support shines through the New Town Success Zone, a cradle-to-career initiative offering early learning, parenting resources, job readiness, and health programming. Healthcare needs are covered with UF Health Jacksonville just to the east, and commuting is straightforward via JTA routes serving the Jacksonville Regional Transportation Center operated by the Jacksonville Transportation Authority.
With a central location in Duval County, attainable housing, and a community that shows up for its schools, sports, and neighborhood events, New Town makes daily life simple and connected. Whether you’re buying or selling, Agent Pronto can introduce you to a local real estate pro who knows New Town block by block.
