Getting around
Near I-95, US-1, 295, and Southside Blvd — JAX is 35 minutes.
The house sits near the intersection of I-95, US-1, 295, and Southside Blvd — which means you can reach virtually anywhere in Jacksonville in 20–30 minutes. Jacksonville International Airport (JAX) is 35 minutes away. If you're flying in, we recommend renting a car. Jacksonville is a spread-out city and you'll want the flexibility, especially for early morning appointments at Mayo.
Uber and Lyft are also widely available in the area, but having your own vehicle makes medical-stay logistics much simpler.
