South Shores is a historic neighborhood in Jacksonville, Duval County, ZIP 32207, northeast of San Marco and southeast of downtown, near St. Nicholas, with Old Hickory Road curving through it (Modern Cities; Jax Psychogeo; accessed June 2026; confirm per home).

The neighborhood was platted in the early 1920s following the 1921 opening of the Acosta Bridge, and was developed by Telfair Stockton, the same prominent developer behind San Marco and Avondale. It is known for attractive brick homes and a central neighborhood park, with a quiet, established character close to the city.

Homes are older and vary widely in condition and updates, so the right comparison is house-by-house on the renovation level, the lot, and the original character, rather than a single neighborhood number. Proximity to San Marco's shops and restaurants and to downtown is the locational draw.

As a historic 1920s neighborhood, the central diligence items are the older home's systems and structure, any historic or zoning overlay, the Duval County tax, the FEMA flood zone given the riverfront proximity, and an honest renovation budget.
