Intracoastal West is a Jacksonville planning district reaching from the Southside to the western shore of the Intracoastal Waterway, just inland from the beach communities. Atlantic Boulevard, Beach Boulevard and J. Turner Butler Boulevard cross the area, with Kernan and Hodges Boulevards linking neighborhoods north to south. Marinas and waterway views add coastal appeal. Housing includes golf and waterfront communities, newer subdivisions, townhomes and apartment communities.
