Gogo's take on Greenfield Manor
“Go with care. Greenfield Manor is a quiet, primarily residential enclave in Jacksonville's greater Arlington/Southside area that is generally safe for everyday visits. While the residential interior streets are peaceful, surrounding arterial corridors like Atlantic Boulevard experience higher rates of opportunistic property crime and retail theft.”
