Stunning Studio at the Raven Pool OnSite Parking

Summary:

Experience the Raven, a beautifully restored apartment in Jacksonville! This stylish studio apartment features a spacious bathroom, a heated on-site pool (open March - November), and a courtyard with a gas grill. Conveniently located near Everbank Field and the Prime Osborne Convention Center, offering a perfect blend of comfort and convenience. We also have paid on-site/off-street parking available for guests with cars.



The Space:

Welcome to Nocturnis, a moody and atmospheric studio at The Raven, inspired by the quiet magic and depth of the night. Set inside a beautifully restored early-1900s building in Jacksonville’s historic LaVilla district, this studio blends dramatic architectural character with a calming, modern aesthetic.



The main living and sleeping area features warm lighting, layered textures, and an exposed brick wall that brings the building’s history forward in a striking, intimate way. Soft tones and thoughtful décor create a peaceful retreat perfect for unwinding, reflecting, or settling into a slow, restful evening.



One of Nocturnis’s most distinctive features lies just beyond the main room:

a beautifully bright bathroom framed by tall historic windows. Natural light floods the space during the day, giving the bathroom an airy, spa-like feel that contrasts beautifully with the moody tones of the studio.



The well-equipped kitchenette includes a refrigerator, sink, dishwasher, and generous counter space. It comes stocked with flatware, glasses, mugs, silverware, cooking utensils, and essential cookware—perfect for preparing simple meals or enjoying morning coffee without needing a full oven or cooktop. A dining table offers a comfortable spot for meals or a workspace.



An in-unit apartment-style washer and dryer adds everyday convenience, and a spacious closet area helps keep your stay organized and effortless.



Just outside your door, you’ll enjoy access to The Raven’s heated pool, atmospheric courtyard, and peaceful outdoor spaces—ideal for quiet mornings or relaxed evenings under soft lighting.



The outdoor area is curated with an outdoor heated pool, courtyard, and on-site paid parking . The outdoor pool area features chaise lounges, umbrellas, and tables with chairs - perfect for enjoying a snack while taking a dip.



The courtyard features an outdoor kitchen with a natural-gas-powered grill, a refrigerator, and a food preparation area. It also features a natural-gas-powered firepit.



The paid parking lot has room for fourteen cars, including one ADA-accessible space. We have a motorized gate at the entrance to the parking area. Please note each lane into / out of the parking lot is 10 ft wide. Oversized trucks, vans, and motor homes will not be able to enter/exit the parking lot because of this width restriction.



Paid parking in our gated parking area is available on a first come / first served basis. As a result, we recommend making a parking reservation as soon as possible in order to guarantee a spot for the duration of your stay. A guest's first car costs $15/day. A guest's second car costs $30 / day. If a guest brings a third car, it costs $45 / day. We are not able to accommodate more than three cars for any reservation / single apartment.



We provide a unique 4 digit code which opens the gate to the parking area, the door to your apartment, and the Beaver St door (secondary entrance - the primary entrance is from the parking lot). We provide all guests with a common code which opens the "Raven Gate" (accessible from the parking area) and the "Blue Door" (the entrance to the building's 1st floor atrium).



We have separate codes for our pedestrian gate which opens onto Beaver St from the parking lot and the gates to the courtyard and pool deck.



Guest Access:

Guests have access to their apartments, all interior common areas, and the pool area from sunrise to sunset. We feature internet-connected smart locks at every common door and for the gates in the courtyard / pool area for added security. We have a team member on site during high occupancy periods and have a team-member stop by every night to ensure the property is secure.



The Neighborhood:

This beautiful property is located in the up and coming LaVilla neighborhood within downtown Jacksonville. At the turn of the 20th century this area was a thriving mecca for African American jazz musicians, on par with New Orleans and Harlem. Famous 20th century musicians such as Ray Charles (who lived less than a quarter of a mile southwest of the property on Church St), Ma Rainey, the “mother of the blues,” often performed in LaVilla, as did “Jelly Roll” Morton, Billie Holiday, Duke Ellington, Cab Calloway, Louis Armstrong, Count Basie, Ella Fitzgerald, and many others! The city of Jacksonville is building out a "LaVilla Heritage Trail" with signs all over the area (including on the southwest corner of our off street parking lot) bringing to life the area's storied history.



Nearby neighborhoods include historic Springfield (a few blocks to the north), Brooklyn (a mile to the southwest), historic San Marco (2-3 miles to the south - over the Main St bridge), and historic Riverside/5 Points (less than 2 miles to the southwest). All of these areas teem with local restaurants, boutiques, and bars. The core area of downtown Jacksonville and the stadium district are 1-2 miles to the east and walkable during stadium events to include Jacksonville Jaguars games, the Gator Bowl, the Florida-Georgia football game as well as concerts at Daily's Place.



The Prime Osborn convention center is a mile to the southwest of the property.



Getting Around:

While you can walk around downtown Jacksonville on foot, it is best to have a car or use a ride-sharing app (such as Uber or Lyft) to go from the less densely populated portion of downtown - LaVilla - to the other parts of downtown.
