Housing
Northeast Florida’s miles of uncrowded and unspoiled land provide a wide variety of distinct residential neighborhoods with housing options to suit any style. From luxury condo high-rises in metropolitan Jacksonville, to grand historic homes, to custom-built new communities in every style imaginable, there is a place for you to feel at home.
Jacksonville was ranked in the top 10 of
Mobility magazine’s “
Best Cities for Relocating Families.” Our region offers the most affordable housing prices in the state. The median house price is only $154,100, and the average apartment leases for $774 per month. And a brand-new, 2,400-square-foot luxury home averages only $217,354. There are a variety of housing options, depending on your preferred location and style of home.
Downtown Living
New luxury and market-rate projects include upscale apartments, condos, lofts, garden homes and town homes, and historic building conversions are adding depth to downtown.
Historic Living
Traditional and charming, the city’s first suburbs included Riverside, Avondale, San Marco, San Jose, Springfield and Ortega. Housing options range from grand mansions to newly refurbished bungalows. The Riverside and Avondale communities make up the nation’s largest historic district, with 6,000 structures. St. Augustine, the oldest American city, also boasts a variety of historic living options.
Suburban Living
Drive in any direction from the city and you’ll find new construction and homes on the market. Choose an upscale, gated community, a contemporary new home or an existing home in established areas throughout the region, including the Northside, Arlington, Mandarin, Fruit Cove, Westside, Yulee and Fleming Island, among many others. Each offers its own appeal and housing options to fit almost any budget.
Coastal Living
With 90 miles of mostly undeveloped coastline extending from Amelia Island southward to St. Augustine, Northeast Florida’s coastal communities of Fernandina, Mayport, Atlantic Beach, Neptune Beach, Jacksonville Beach, Ponte Vedra Beach, St. Augustine Beach and Palm Coast offer a low-key, outdoors lifestyle.
Rural Living
Off the beaten path but accessible to services, amenities and entertainment, Northeast Florida’s rural spots offer a country atmosphere with room to move. Many rural communities offer large lots for agricultural pursuits, to raise horses or just keep as undeveloped acreage. Macclenny, Green Cove Springs, Palatka and Callahan all offer rural housing options within close proximity to Jacksonville.
