Local businesses in Avondale

Just upriver from Five Points, Avondale is Jacksonville's prettiest historic district — brick streets, 1920s architecture, and the St. Johns at its back. The action centers on the Shoppes of Avondale, a genteel stretch of St. Johns Avenue lined with independent boutiques, bistros, and salons. It's the part of town locals dress up for, for a long dinner and a slow browse. Jax Locals highlights the independent, locally-owned businesses at the heart of it.

Yes — Jax Locals only lists independent, locally-owned businesses. You won't find national chains here.
