Best of Bold City 2025 Winner: See Why Riverside Homes Is Northeast Florida’s Top Home Builder

Riverside Homes has officially been named Best Home Builder in the 2025 Best of Bold City Community’s Choice Awards, and we’re honored to celebrate this incredible recognition! Voted on by the local community, this win highlights what so many of our homeowners already know: when it comes to thoughtful design, quality craftsmanship, and a seamless building experience, Riverside Homes is proud to be one of Northeast Florida’s most trusted home builders.

What Are the Bold City Best Awards

Hosted by The Florida Times-Union, the Best of Bold City Community’s Choice Awards recognize excellence across a wide range of industries in the greater Jacksonville area—from restaurants and retailers to service professionals and, of course, home builders.

The two-phase competition began in March with nominations of businesses in more than 150 categories. The top five nominees in each category advanced to a ballot, giving the power to the people to select the finalists. Community members cast thousands of votes to support their local favorites, making this award especially meaningful for the Riverside team.

The awards gala was held at the Prime Osborn Convention Center, where industry leaders, innovators, and community favorites gathered to celebrate. Riverside Homes’ Online Sales and Marketing Director, Andrea Johnson, and New Home Sales Consultant, Michelle Dubourt, proudly attended to represent Riverside Homes.
