Jacksonville and Duval County are one consolidated government, so the city covers almost the whole county: about 747 square miles of land, according to the Census Bureau, and 977,670 people in the 2020-2024 American Community Survey five-year estimates. Only Atlantic Beach, Neptune Beach, Jacksonville Beach and Baldwin are separate municipalities inside Duval County.
The St. Johns River runs through the middle of the city. I-95 crosses it north to south, I-10 starts downtown and heads west, and I-295 loops around the city as the East Beltway and West Beltway. The city groups its neighborhoods into six planning districts: the Urban Core, North, Northwest, Southwest, Southeast and Greater Arlington/Beaches.
The City of Jacksonville’s neighborhood map names 202 areas inside the city. This guide covers 12 of them, spread across all six districts, using the city’s own boundaries.
What this means for you
- Zoned schools follow the street address, not the neighborhood name. Duval County Public Schools’ 2026-27 zone layer has 13 high school zones. Some Jacksonville homes are zoned for Fletcher High in Neptune Beach or Baldwin Middle-Senior High in Baldwin.
- One neighborhood can share a ZIP code with many others. Home values here are by ZIP code, from the Zillow Home Value Index for August 2026: a modeled typical value, not a sale price.
- Distances are long. Mandarin, Argyle Forest, Oceanway and Deerwood are each 14 miles or more by road from City Hall.

How we built this
- Areas: the boundaries are the City of Jacksonville’s own neighborhood polygons, published on its GIS site, and the planning districts are the city’s citizens planning advisory committee boundaries. We chose 12 areas that span the six districts and used the city’s names, except Argyle Forest, which the city map spells “Argyle Forrest.” OpenStreetMap labels six of the 12 by the same name inside the same boundaries.
- Homes, ZIP codes and schools: we matched the Florida Department of Revenue’s statewide parcel data, built from the Duval County Property Appraiser’s tax roll, to each area and to Duval County Public Schools’ 2026-27 attendance zone layer on Oct. 10, 2026.
- Grades: Florida Department of Education school grades for 2026.
- Home values: the Zillow Home Value Index by ZIP code for August 2026.
- Roads, buses and stores: road distances measured on the OpenStreetMap road network with the OSRM routing engine; bus stops from the Jacksonville Transportation Authority’s current schedule data; supermarkets and pharmacies from OpenStreetMap.
