If you’re the kind of person who can’t resist snapping a photo in front of a colorful wall or you're just in the mood for some bold, eye-popping art vibes, then welcome to the Murray Hill Mural District—Jacksonville’s artsy playground that’s bursting with personality and paint. Located right around 1171 Edgewood Ave S, Jacksonville, FL 32205, this funky little neighborhood has transformed into an open-air gallery where every corner, every alley, and every brick wall is a canvas just waiting to be admired (and probably Instagrammed). The murals are everywhere, and they don’t hold back—think larger-than-life creatures, abstract dreamscapes, cultural tributes, and clever word art that kinda stops you in your tracks. It’s all thanks to a community of local artists who’ve put their stamp on the city, turning plain old buildings into bold masterpieces that scream personality. 

Murray Hill might not be as hyped as downtown Jax or Riverside, but that’s what makes it even cooler—it’s authentic, a little gritty, and unfiltered in the best way. Wander around Edgewood Avenue and you’ll see why this area’s getting serious buzz. You’ve got places like Dreamette, an old-school soft-serve spot that’s been around since the 1940s—grab a cone and stroll past pieces like the “Rise and Shine” rooster mural by artist Shaun Thurston, or check out the massive underwater fantasy scene wrapping around the side of Community Loaves (which, by the way, is your go-to for fresh sourdough and artisan coffee). Don’t miss the alley behind Vagabond Coffee—it’s mural central, and the art changes up pretty often, so even if you’ve been before, it’ll still feel brand new. 

And hey, if you’re rolling through on a weekend, keep your eyes peeled for pop-up markets and food trucks—Murray Hill knows how to turn a chill Saturday into a neighborhood party. Plus, it’s not just about the art—the community vibe here is real. Local businesses like Fishweir Brewing Company and Maple Street Biscuit Company add to the eclectic charm, and most of the shop owners are super friendly and love to chat about the art scene or what’s going on in the neighborhood. Oh, and there’s also the Murray Hill Theatre, a historic live music venue that's got deep roots in Jacksonville’s cultural scene. Whether you’re an art nerd, a curious traveler, or just someone who appreciates a good photo op, the Murray Hill Mural District is a must-see. It’s walkable, it’s vibrant, and it’s packed with stories told in paint. 

The murals are more than just decoration—they’re a reflection of the people, the culture, and the soul of Jacksonville itself. So bring your camera, wear comfy shoes, and get ready to fall in love with one of the coolest hidden gems in the city. And hey, if you're planning to hit up the mural scene (and maybe cruise around the rest of Jacksonville while you're at it), you're gonna want a ride that’s just as sleek and stylish as those walls.
