Another is the Villages of San Jose, a secured community along San Jose Boulevard featuring patio homes and condominiums.

The San Marco area, located north of San Jose, along the river and near the South Bank across from downtown, was developed at the same time as Riverside/Avondale.  Centered around the San Marco shopping district, homes range from Mediterranean-style homes of the 20s to homes recently renovated or rebuilt.  In addition to old fashioned street lamps and the Historic Lions fountain at the foot of Atlantic Blvd. San Marco is home to Theatre Jacksonville, Southside Baptist and several beautiful parks.
