Having worked at Belk at The Avenues in the early to mid-​2000s, I practically lived at this mall. Actually, it was the only decent mall to visit before the dawn of the town center. It was where people came to shop having Dillard’s, Belk, Sears, JCPenney and (then) Parisian as their anchor stores. It is a Simon property.
I actually love the layout of The Avenues and still prefer going here to other malls in the area. They have a decent food court with plenty of seating and I never grew tired of lunch at Ruby Tuesday with co-​workers. They’ve done a nice job maintaining the property over the years.
Overall, parking is not a problem. There’s easy access from Phillips Hwy and Southside Blvd. and all of the major roads. Love that this is a two story mall with plenty of choices for customers and still a great place to shop especially during the hot summer months.

This mall has been getting a little more fun lately! There’s all the typical mall stores that you would expect from the mall – and they are all indoors!
Then, there are all these new fun little places that are just so darn cool. The macaroon shop downstairs by the Disney store, the creperie upstairs run by a nice Italian family (if for no other reason, you should go to the avenues to try one of those out), and the cool subculture store with old timey/​steam punk/50’s chic/​waist trainer clothing. Aaaand, who can resist a Cinnabon!
Try the avenues out again. After all, what’s old is new

They kicked us out cause my girlfriend was wearing a costume. Fuck the rentacops. We were making people smile and bringing joy to kids and this rentacop lady tells us to leave and follows us out like criminals. Will not come back to this mall.

The indoor mall is becoming a dying breed. However, the Avenues is hanging in there with new stores and a nearly full occupancy. Well laid out and great food court.

The Avenues Mall is conveniently located on the Southside. It is a full indoor mall with various types of stores. It had the major department stores like Belk, Dillards, JC Penny and Sears. They also have a gigantic Forever 21, larger than any I have seen.
There are many ways to get into the mall from Phillips Hwy and Southside. There is ample parking and a parking structure so even during the holidays there is parking.
What I like is that between the Orange Park Mall, Avenues and St Johns Town Center there aren’t a lot of duplicate stores. There is always something new to discover. Each mall has its own feel and is set up completely differently.
The mall itself is fairly clean and they have plenty of directories so if your not familiar with the mall, you can find your way around.
It is a nice mall to just go walk around when you have nothing to do and just want to explore.

My favorite indoor mall. Whenever I don’t wanna be hot and travel to the town center, I come here. A lot of the stores are closing or moving but my stores for the most part is still in the same spot. I just prefer to come on week days and not weekends because I preferably don’t like the teen crowd.

I love the avenues. It has a great selection of stores. Then avenues offers one of the best Forever 21’s. The avenues mall is amazing especially during Black Friday. I highly recommend this mall because of its variety. There is something for everyone to enjoy. The only issue I have with this mall is the smell. It just smells musty.

Plenty of good stores! Good food court! Inside mall. Always come here to shop more than other malls. Prices vary per mall. Convenient to where I live. Plenty of parking as well.

SNS nail salon does mani, pedi, and there signature SNS. I switched to SNS which is a healthier alternative than acrylic and gel nails. I highly recommend. Check them. Ask for Mindy or Tony.

Too many Mom and Pop stores. A lot of stores have closed and this has almost become a destination mall!

Nice mall, been around a while. Not as nice as town center but closer to home. It has improved in recent years.

This is my old trusty mall, live very close so this is the most convenient mall to me… they have a bunch of good stores in here… especially ones that aren’t everywhere else… H & M!
The mall itself is very nice and taken care of, it is decorated beautiful for the holidays and gets very crowded during this time of year. I was just there and the Santa line was very short, so if you want Santa pictures with the kids now is the time to do it before its a long line.
I also want to mention there is a really cool wine store that recently opened «Whiney Wench”(i think) (bottom level next to Forever 21) that you can get all kinds of cool, unique wine gifts in here, they sell wine smoothies that you can walk around the mall with, and they do painting parties in here where you get to sample all their wines while you paint! A have quite a few girlfriends that love their wine so they will be getting some gifts from here! :)

I’ve always liked the Avenues Mall. When I don’t feel like walking a million miles, or dealing with the crowd at the Town Center, I head this way.
Having a game plan and knowing what stores you want to hit, or miss, is key. Then you can park close to your destination (parking is usually not too bad.) I have been a fan of Dillards and Express for quite a awhile, and both stores are easy to get to. Tip! I always park in the back, since the front angled parking can get a little funky.
I do have to laugh at the mall cops on their segways… but I guess at least there are a few security guards on hand to keep us safe.
Other than my personal faves, there are the usual mall brands representing, so pretty much any store you need is going to be there.

I have been coming to this mall since it opened and I was a teenager now it’s funny my teenage daughter and her friends shop/​hangout there. When we go we fight Teavana or French Fry Heaven first! Great selection of stores not as pricey as the town center. Food court good selection. Nail salon upstairs by Sears does awesome nails at good prices. Only thing I never understood was no theater but loved the mall so much it was no big deal just drove down the street to the one on Phillips or Tensil Town up the street.

Avenues sometimes is hit and miss. Obviously town centre is more of the place to be but when it’s raining or hotter than a mother outside I’m down to go to the Avenues. I’ve noticed though throughout my time visiting back and forth from Vegas to Jax that a lot of stores are in and out… And the crowd at the avenues has gotten kinda «rough»
Avenues is definitely still way better than OP and Regency (if that mall still even exist) but it seems for shopping needs St Johns Town Centre and Avenues are still the places to be.

This is my favorite indoor mall in the Jacksonville area. It’s not so awesome on the outside on some parts of it, but I love the inside. The way this mall was built makes it look much bigger than it is. The style of the building inside is also really chic and classy.
The variety of stores that are offered in this mall are really great. Most of the popular stores you’re looking for are here, and more! I LOVE the little specialty stores like Teavana and LUSH, something I don’t have to go and try to find at St. John’s Town Center. Even the food court offers variety (love the Cinnabon and Chick Fil A).
This mall is very clean and well kept, great for families, and is for all price ranges!

I know all the rave now is about the St. John’s Town Centre. But when it’s raining or when it’s 100 degrees outside, I come to The Avenues. Then there are times when I just don’t feel like driving to the Town Centre, so I choose The Avenues instead.
All my main «staple» stores are here like Dillards, Belk, MAC, Coach, Bath & Body, and Artsy Abode (where I can get my Pandora charms and bracelets). They have a new cool local store called Catwalk which has a little bit of everything… you should definitely check that place out. And of course they have all of hubby’s «staple» stores like Foot Locker, Gamestop, and American Eagle.
Tons and tons of other stores too. They even now have a Lush here! Yay! And we don’t just stick to our «Staple» stores either, when we’re here, we tend to wander from store to store. There’s definitely something here for everyone.
As other have mentioned, they have a great food court upstairs. Plenty of options to choose from with plenty of seating.
I love that there is an actual parking garage where Dillards is located. So when it’s raining, you can avoid the rain all together. There’s no charge for parking in the garage either.
The mall has been very well maintained over the years. It’s nice, clean, and believe it or not, still shiny. It almost looks new once you’re inside. Hard to believe it’s been here for as long as it has… about 24 years.
Great place to shop as an alternative to The Town Centre. So don’t forget The Avenues is here! Especially when it’s hot and/​or raining!

This mall is middle of the road as far as Jacksonville goes (I’d put OP Mall and Regency below it and the Town Center above it). Lately it seems the stores move in and out a lot but it also has some spots that have few (or zero) other locations in town (Forever 21, Lush, Natural Life, Disney Store, a few food court places, etc).
Parking is pretty good unless it’s Christmas time. They always have Santa, the Easter bunny, etc at the holidays. They have a decent sized kids play area and a train that rides around the mall, too.
I worked in a kiosk in the mall over a year ago and I will say, there are lots of security guards always around and despite it being such a busy mall, I’ve never felt concerned about safety or anything like that. The Avenues Mall is a good place to get a lot of shopping done in one spot.

The avenues is LITERALLY your one stop shop to the world! not to mention one of the biggest Interior mall (Town Center being the largest by sq inch). From all of your favorite places like Express, Victoria Secret, Forever 21, all the way down to your classier locales like Mac, you will DEFINITELY find what you are looking for here, I frequent here being 5 minutes away from my workplace, I thoroughly enjoy the upper-​class feel of having 2 levels of shops as well as the cleanliness and upkept feel that is incomparable to its sister mall @ Regency.
If you have ever visited the massive Galleria Mall in Birmingham, Alabama, this is as close as a replica as you will get in Jacksonville, I would definitely place this as 2nd place of the malls in jacksonville, Town Center being in first, respectively. But if youre looking to do something from simple shopping, gifts for family of a loved one or anything typically non expensive, this will be your sweet spot, if youre looking for more of a variety, i would definitely plan for a visit Town Center which is by far one of the finest foundational investments in Jacksonville. 4⁄5

The Avenues was THE place I wanted to go when I was a teenager. It had all the cool stores, a good food court and was just a cool place to hang out. And then along came St. Johns Town Center. Like everyone else talks about, SJTC garnered all the attention and seemed to keep the people coming back.
I have had a few opportunities to venture back to the Avenues and I can see that they are definitely trying to stay competitive. While SJTC will probably be my first choice for some time, I won’t be so quick to dismiss the Avenues in the future.
