๐ค Happy Halloween ๐
If theres one house in all of Jacksonville that you should see this Halloween, itโs โThe Toy Storyโ house in Avondale Jacksonville.
This family goes all out every year, last year was Harry Potter. And every year they pick a charity to raise support and awareness for. This year is Toys for Tots, as youโll see a drop box for unwrapped toys, and a QR code to donate to the cause.

๐ RiversEdge Residents Move in + Parks Update ๐
The first residents of @riversedgejax moved into their brand-new townhomes on April 28. Five additional units are available, varying in bedroom count and price, marking a significant step forward in the developmentโs progress. The residential properties are part of a much larger mixed-use project that will include retail and restaurants, office space, a hotel, a public marina and four acres of new riverfront park space.
The Parks โฌ๏ธ (Expected to open by late May)
โข Central Park, a riverfront park facing the St. Johns River, will feature a pavilion, amphitheater, adjacent plaza area, trees, and an art installation. It will be flanked by Northwest and Northeast parks.
โข Northwest Park will include durable synthetic turf, swings, a game table area, benches, and bike racks.
โข Northeast Park, also known as Fitness Park, will feature two playgrounds and a yoga lawn.
โข Marshfront Park, located on the east side of the development, will offer a winding path through native plants, an herb garden, and a synthetic lawn.
City incentives: $97,986,000
Estimated project cost: $693 million

It was great seeing so many people show up for this big @cityofjax moment. This is sure to bring more activity back to the @jaxriverwalk , and just having this back in our skyline is fantastic.
