Southbend – The Neighborhood

Southbend is special to me because it’s the neighborhood that I call home.

While it’s not gated, nor does it have a Home Owner’s Association, Southbend has the appeal of those types of communities. 
So for highlighting this area, I can speak from personal experience and knowledge.

Top Reasons Southbend is so desireable:

  • Community Park (Jessica Clinton Park) with ball fields, basketball courts, playground, pavilion, soccer field
  • Miles of winding sidewalks
    Great for riding your bike, jogging, walking the dog, and any other types of exercise
  • Fishing and Canoeing or Kayaking – there is a bridge at the front entrance with side access to cast a line or launch a canoe
    I remember putting our boat in at this access area as a kid – but the city has since closed it for boaters
  •  Shops and Publix
    There is a beautiful shopping plaza at the corner of Becker Road and Southbend Blvd that has a Publix, restaurants, and other necessary shops
  • Access to the Turnpike is near
    As well as new access to I-95 from Becker Road (July 2009)
