In a city boasting more than 500 neighborhoods over a vast area, it takes some searching to find the most expensive properties for rent on the market. A good starting place, you’d think, would be to look along the banks of St. Johns River, which flows right through Jacksonville’s core.

And you’d be right! Almost all of the 10 most expensive rentals in The Bold New City of the South are located in chic neighborhoods with direct access or in close proximity to Florida’s ‘heritage’ river. Mandarin, Miramar, Monclair, San Jose Forest, or Charter Point are just a few of them. Here’s why: yachts, ski jets, amazing views, and the promise of an exclusive lifestyle!

The #1 property on our list – a 1940-built riverfront mansion in Miramar – flaunts amenities fit for the good life: a river room with subfloor heating system, a river front pool, a boat lift, two jet ski lifts, spa-like baths, and a stone fireplace.
