====Lake Shore====

Built during the time of the [[first World War]],  Lake Shore lies on the curving north bank of the Cedar River (called Cedar Creek by the locals),  and stretches from Roosevelt Boulevard on the east,  to the Cedar River to the West,  and is bordered by the Cedar River to the South, and San Juan Avenue to the North, and is bisected by Cassat Avenue.    Lake Shore consists of approximately 1,000 modest, wood-frame, concrete block or brick homes,  with the exception of approximately 80 quite large estates that line the shore of the Cedar River.  The neighborhood is anchored by the Roosevelt Plaza on Roosevelt Boulevard,  and the Lake Shore business district of stores up and down Cassat Avenue.  Lake Shore is centrally located on the Westside, with quick access to Downtown Jacksonville via Roosevelt Boulevard.  Given the small size of the existing homes,  the current trend is for first time home buyers to renovate and retrofit these well built homes to fit todays needs.  This is a very well maintained pocket of 1940s and 1950s homes.  There is a definite trend to renovate and revitalize this quiet, comfortable neighborhood.

====Normandy====

Outside of what would eventually become Jacksonville,  and originally called "Hogan Settlement",  The Normandy area was settled by Jacksonville's "Founding Family",  the "Hogan's"  who were the first white settlers in Duval County.  The Normandy area is a large swath of forested high-ground that straddles both sides of Normandy Boulevard, and stretches from Cassat Avenue on the East,  out to Herlong Airfield on the West,  and is bordered by I-10 to the North,  and Wilson Road to the South.  Though originally populated by the large ranches of many of Duval County's founding families such as the Hogans, Lindseys, Forakers, and the Herlongs,  the area is now a bedroom community,  containing over a dozen large residential neighborhoods such as Normandy, [[Normandy Village]], Rolling Hills, Country Creek, Hyde Grove, Hyde Park, etc,  with very few apartment complexes or condo developments.  These neighborhoods have their own sewer and water plants, and unlike most wood-constructed homes in Jacksonville's newer neighborhoods,  most homes in the Normandy area are constructed of brick, or concrete block.  The area is home to some of the city's best schools, and parks.  Unlike other sections of the city,  where people tend to move from home to home every 2 or 3 years;  homes in the Normandy area are routinely transfered from generation to generation,  and it is not unusual for great-grandchildren to live in homes originally built by their great-grandparents.([http://www.jacksonville.com/discover/2005/stories/011205/com_commduval4.shtml] per the Florida Times Union)

====Oceanway====

Oceanway is located just north of San Mateo.  Once an area of small farms and isolated houses, since the the 1980s,  Oceanway has grown dramatically with the addition of numerous residential neighborhoods,  which was further encouraged by the building of First Coast High School in 1990, and several other schools for lower grades.
