Over 2,100 historic buildings on 687 acres
The Riverside Historic District covers 687 acres west of downtown on the St. Johns River, with over 2,100 buildings from the late 1800s to the 1930s; bungalows cover most lots. Many families moved here after the Great Fire of 1901, and Riverside's bungalows are a big reason Jacksonville likely has more of them than any other city in Florida. Riverside-Avondale is also a City of Jacksonville historic district, so exterior work has to stay consistent with its design guidelines, including where outdoor equipment goes.
On the ground
Cooling a bungalow without changing it
Bungalows were built for porches and cross-breezes. Their attics are low, ceilings are often plaster, and many have floors raised over crawl spaces. Ductless heads, small-duct systems and carefully routed attic ducts each have a place, and the right answer depends on the rooms, the attic and how visible the outdoor unit will be.
Exterior equipment that shows from the street can need a Certificate of Appropriateness here, so we plan placement before quoting and keep condensers to the side or rear wherever we can. Our guide to heating and cooling older Riverside and Avondale homes walks through the options in more detail.

FAQ
Riverside questions
Do I need city approval to put a condenser on a Riverside home?
Exterior equipment visible from the street can need a Certificate of Appropriateness in the Riverside-Avondale historic district. We plan placement first and help you check before work starts.
Can a Riverside bungalow get central air?
Often, if the attic or crawl space can carry properly sized ducts. When it can't, ductless or small-duct systems cool the house without major demolition.
Do you work on older apartment buildings in Riverside?
Yes, including through-wall and ductless replacements and shared equipment, coordinated with the owner or association.
