Jersey Farms offers an unique mix of areas that are both busy and quiet. Even though the ambience is not the liveliest in this area finding one of the a few bars is rather difficult since they are generally located quite far away. At the same time, this part of Davenport is especially quiet, as there are low levels of noise from traffic. Parks aren't well-situated, making them very hard to reach from most locations within Jersey Farms. Despite that, there are a few public green spaces nearby for residents to enjoy.
