A community-focused neighborhood on Jacksonville's Westside
When traveling through Crystal Springs/Jacksonville Farms Terrace during the winter, locals are greeted by a house with an illuminating display. For several years, a private residence on Crystal Springs Road has created a holiday attraction that has become a time-honored tradition for the community. "I don't ever have to go to St. Augustine for the Nights of Lights because I have a unique jewel on Crystal Springs Road," says Janel Williams, Realtor with Watson Realty Corp., who lives nearby. "Imagine having a rough day, and you see the house as you drive down the road. I'm telling you, it is the most unique, beautiful holiday display I've ever seen." During the rest of the year, the area invites residents to enjoy outdoor recreation as well as Taco Tuesdays and Monday night trivia at local restaurants. The western side of the community, known as Jacksonville Farms Terrace, has more pockets of woodlands, a new housing development and industrial facilities like an Amazon Fulfilment Center.

Locals enjoy sports like tennis, swimming and horse-back riding
At over 30 acres, Crystal Springs Road Park is a go-to place for athletics and outdoor activities. The grounds include tennis and pickleball courts as well as a recently updated play area. The tree-covered trails attract bicyclists and residents walking their dogs. There's also a fishing pond with a boardwalk reaching across the water to cast out. Some use the onsite Julian Barrs Community Center to host birthday parties and other private events.
Williams says that when residents want to go to a water park but want to avoid traveling to the beach, they often visit the Cecil Field Recreation Complex and Equestrian Center. "It can get really hot in Florida, especially during the summer, so it's a great place to swim indoors," says Williams. The facility also offers youth summer camps and swim classes. The center hosts several equestrian competitions throughout the year, which Williams says is characteristic of the city's westside and the Crystal Springs/Jacksonville Farms community. The Westside Golfing Center is a relaxed driving range with lighting that allows for practice after sunset.

Buyers can choose to live in subdivisions or standalone properties
Although close to downtown, Crystal Springs/Jacksonville Farms has a rural and suburban feel with subdivisions surrounded by dense foliage. Plots of land can vary from a quarter of an acre to two acres. The neighborhood has modern ranch styles and more recent homes. "This area contains new subdivisions, like Panthers Creek," Williams says. "You get the close community feel, and a lot of recent builds are happening right now." Most homes enter the market between $250,000 and $400,000. However, buyers can expect to pay $375,000 to $500,000 for new constructions in Panthers Creek.

Taking to Crystal Springs Shopping Plaza
To the northwest is Crystal Springs Shopping Plaza, the community's main retail hub. Winn Dixie sits in the plaza where shoppers restock kitchen pantries and refill prescriptions. Locals often visit Publix Super Maret in Normandy Crossing Shopping Center, less than 5 miles east. The community has a modest number of national fast-food chains, but to sample the city's local flavors, look no further than Cinco De Mayo Authentic Mexican Restaurant. The establishment has a brightly colored setting and draws large crowds on Taco Tuesdays. Chubby's Wings, a regional chain, serves bar eats like fried pickles and pretzels. In the evening, people gather for Monday trivia nights and watch sporting events.

There are some areas in this area that are not safe at all or at least that's what the vibe is given off. My area is on the more poor side so there are frequent crimes happening near.

It's not as bad as Detroit, but I don't feel like I have to constantly look over my shoulder.
