Lakeside, FL

Lakeside is an unincorporated census-designated community in Clay County, Florida, within the greater Orange Park area of the Jacksonville metro. It has a suburban Northeast Florida feel, with St. Johns River State College's largest campus located on College Drive. One unusual local history thread is the former Yerkes Regional Primate Research Center near Orange Park, tied to early primate research and animals brought from Madame Rosalia Abreu's estate in Cuba. Lakeside is residential, practical, and closely tied to Orange Park.
