"Duval County is Jacksonville — a consolidated city-county of just over a million people that anchors Northeast Florida. It is the value-and-jobs play of the First Coast: home prices sit well below the South Florida and Gulf Coast metros, a deep military, healthcare, logistics, and finance economy keeps demand steady, and 20 miles of Atlantic beaches plus the St. Johns River give it a lifestyle that punches above its price. After three years of rapid appreciation, the market has cooled into the most balanced conditions buyers have seen since 2019. For buyers that means real negotiating room; for sellers, sharp pricing and a willingness to offer a concession. The county median is a starting point — the number that matters is the one for a specific home in a specific Duval County neighborhood, which is what we price against live comps."

The 60-Second Overview
Duval County snapshot (April 2026): typical home value $296K ($189/sqft), median rent $1,603, about 3,640 active listings, a median 58 days on market, and 24.8% of listings cutting price — a balanced market. Values are -2.5% over the past year and +4.7% over five years.
Duval has one of the most diversified economies in Florida, which is the single biggest reason its housing demand holds up through national cycles. The U.S. Navy is the region's largest single presence through Naval Air Station Jacksonville and Naval Station Mayport, together supporting tens of thousands of active-duty, civilian, and contractor jobs. Healthcare is the civilian anchor, led by Baptist Health, Mayo Clinic's Florida campus, and UF Health Jacksonville. Finance and insurance run deep — Florida Blue (GuideWell), Bank of America, Citi, FIS, and Fidelity all operate major Jacksonville hubs — and CSX is headquartered downtown. The port (JAXPORT) and a cluster of logistics and distribution operations, including a large Amazon footprint, round out a base that spreads risk across sectors that rarely contract at the same time.

Should You Buy, Sell, or Invest Here?
Inventory is up, price cuts are common, and homes sit nearly two months — the most negotiating room buyers have had in years, especially on resale and on builder standing inventory.
Still defensible but no longer effortless: realistic pricing and a few concessions are now the difference between a 30-day sale and a stale listing.
One of the stronger cash-flow major metros in Florida — entry prices below $300K, gross yields above the state norm, and a renter base fed by the Navy, two hospital systems, and a growing port — though appreciation has gone flat in the near term.

Schools in Duval County
Duval County Public Schools serves roughly 125,000 students and runs one of Florida's strongest magnet and school-choice programs, which is why a handful of Duval high schools rank among the best in the country even though the district's neighborhood schools vary widely by zone.
- Stanton College Preparatory — consistently a top-100 U.S. high school
- Paxon School for Advanced Studies — IB and AP magnet, top-20 in Florida
- Mandarin High School
- Atlantic Coast High School
- Samuel W. Wolfson High School
Because the top performers are magnet and dedicated-choice schools rather than purely zoned, where you live does not fully determine school access in Duval — but it still drives value, so confirm both the zoned assignment and magnet eligibility for any specific address. See school-zone guides →
Taxes, Insurance & Cost to Own
A median-priced Duval County home costs about $2,175/month all-in (mortgage, tax, and insurance, 10% down) against median household income of $68,447. Florida's homestead exemption removes up to $50,000 of assessed value, and Save Our Homes caps annual assessed-value increases at 3% while you keep the homestead.
| Typical property-tax millage | 17.865 mills (~1.79% before exemptions) |
| Avg. homeowners insurance | $1,315/yr (Citizens county avg) |
| Homestead exemption | Up to $50,000 + 3% Save Our Homes cap |
| Est. all-in monthly (PITI) | $2,175/mo on a $296K home |
| Income to buy median home | $87,015/yr (est.) |
At about $1,315 a year on average, Duval is among the more reasonable insurance markets in Florida, though coastal and older homes still run well above the average. Wind-mitigation features earn insurance credits; flood insurance is priced separately by address. Run your own numbers with the true cost calculator.
New Construction in Duval County
Builders pulled 6,017 residential permits last year (-7.4% YoY) — 3,732 single-family and 2,285 multifamily, about 6.0 per 1,000 residents. Active master-planned communities include eTown (Southside; tech-forward master plan with Kettering and Granville); EverRange (1,000-acre PARC Group community off Philips Highway, first neighborhoods opening 2026); Bartram Park / Bartram Springs (far Southside on the St. Johns County line); Wells Creek; Tamaya (Mediterranean-style gated community on the Southside). Builders compete on rate buydowns and closing-cost credits; buyer representation matters even on a new build. See active builders →
Population & Migration
Duval County has about 1,007,189 residents. On a net domestic basis it gained roughly 912 people and a net +$114.69M in adjusted gross income in the latest IRS filing year (county-to-county moves within the U.S.; this does not count international migration or births). Domestic arrivals are led by GA, CA, VA, NY. Migration is the demand engine behind prices: when more income flows in than out, it supports both rents and values.
12-Month Forecast
Expect Duval to stay roughly flat-to-slightly-up over the next 12 months. The cooling is demand-driven, not distress-driven: jobs and migration are still positive, but higher mortgage rates and three years of price gains have stretched affordability, so inventory has rebuilt and price cuts have become normal. Most local and national forecasters put Jacksonville-area appreciation in the low single digits for 2026, with more selection for buyers and longer days on market. The wildcards are mortgage rates (a meaningful drop would quickly absorb today's inventory) and the volume of new construction on the Southside, which is keeping a lid on resale pricing in the outer-ring communities.

Lifestyle in Duval County
Duval's calling card is space and water. Jacksonville has the largest urban park system in the country, anchored by the Timucuan Ecological Preserve and Kathryn Abbey Hanna Park on the coast. The county owns roughly 20 miles of Atlantic beachfront across Jacksonville, Neptune, and Atlantic Beaches, and the St. Johns River runs through the middle of the city, lined with historic neighborhoods like Avondale, Riverside, and San Marco. Sports and culture punch hard for the price: the NFL's Jaguars play at EverBank Stadium downtown, the riverfront is in the middle of a multibillion-dollar redevelopment, and TPC Sawgrass and the PGA Tour headquarters sit just south in Ponte Vedra. Jacksonville International Airport (JAX) gives the county its own commercial hub.
Risks to Weigh
Duval's risks are coastal and budgetary rather than catastrophic. Storm surge and riverine flooding are real along the beaches, the Intracoastal, and the St. Johns and its creeks — Hurricanes Matthew (2016) and Irma (2017) both pushed water into low-lying neighborhoods — so flood zone and elevation matter enormously here, and a property's flood-zone status can swing the true cost of ownership by thousands a year. The county sits in a hurricane-exposed state, though it has historically been hit less directly than Southwest and the Panhandle. Property-insurance costs have climbed statewide, even if Duval's averages remain among the more reasonable in Florida. Inland, the main watch-items are overbuilding risk in the fastest-growing Southside corridors and the usual condo-association and special-assessment questions on older coastal buildings.

Recent Developments in Duval County
Development, infrastructure, retail, and school activity affecting Duval County, tracked by our team and summarized from public reporting and official sources, with links to the original coverage. Last updated June 2026.
- June 2026Development
Pattillo asked to seek approval for million-square-foot NorthPoint building
A prospective buyer has asked Pattillo Industrial Real Estate to pursue approvals for a building of roughly one million square feet at the NorthPoint industrial park in North Jacksonville, according to a June 18 report. The request points to continued interest in large logistics and distribution space along the city's northern freight corridors.
What it may mean for the marketSpeculative interest at that scale may suggest industrial absorption near the port and interstates remains firm, which could support tenant demand even as some other commercial segments cool.

City Council committee endorses zoning changes to encourage density and affordable housing
A Jacksonville City Council committee on June 16 advanced proposed changes to the 2045 Comprehensive Plan intended to encourage higher residential density and additional affordable housing. The measure would adjust land use rules that govern how much housing can be built on eligible parcels.
What it may mean for the marketEasing density limits could over time widen the range of housing types and price points the market can deliver, though the practical effect depends on final adoption and how builders respond.

Site work begins at Fountains at Westside commercial center
Cross Regions Group is launching site work at Fountains at Westside, a commercial development planned on Jacksonville's Westside, according to a June 16 report. Earlier plans described a mix that could include a convenience store with fuel, restaurants, retail, medical office and a hotel.
What it may mean for the marketNew retail and service construction on the Westside may broaden nearby commercial options and could reflect area rooftops reaching the thresholds that draw this kind of investment.

City permits $150 million Southbank Residences high-rise tower
The city issued a building permit June 11 for The Related Group's residential high-rise on the Downtown Southbank site of the former River City Brewery, covering 261,209 square feet at a project cost of $150 million. The permit followed a ceremonial groundbreaking on May 20 for the project Related identifies as Southbank Residences.
What it may mean for the marketA major downtown residential tower moving into construction adds to the urban-core housing pipeline and signals continued riverfront investment, though completion is years out.

City Council approves land use and zoning for 478 homes in West Jacksonville
The City Council voted June 9 to approve land use and zoning changes on about 112.5 acres along Yellow Water Road, roughly a mile north of Normandy Boulevard. The action covers two developments, Yellow Water North and South, that together total 478 homes, changing the land to low density residential and a Planned Unit Development. The approvals advance one of the larger residential entitlements on the city's west side this year.
What it may mean for the marketNew entitled lots on the west side add to the medium-term single-family pipeline in a more affordable part of Duval County. Added supply of this kind can help moderate price pressure as homes deliver over the coming years.

Council clears Eastside mixed-use project with 77 homes near EverBank Stadium
The City Council approved a rezoning and land use change June 9 for about 3.37 acres near East Eighth Street and Phoenix Avenue, roughly a mile north of EverBank Stadium. The project allows 77 residential units and about 25,000 square feet of commercial space, shifting the site from light industrial to a Planned Unit Development and general commercial use. It adds infill housing and retail to the Eastside near Downtown.
What it may mean for the marketInfill entitlements close to Downtown and the stadium district can support gradual reinvestment along the Eastside. Mixed-use approvals that pair homes with commercial space often signal developer confidence in nearby foot traffic.

Council committees advance $12.59 million Emerald Trail land purchase
Jacksonville City Council committees, including a 4-3 Finance Committee vote on June 2, advanced legislation authorizing the city to buy 16 parcels for $12.59 million to support the Emerald Trail. The acquisitions along Hogans Creek are tied to restoration, decontamination and flood mitigation work that would connect the trail on the east side of Downtown to the Northbank Riverwalk and the Sports and Entertainment District.
What it may mean for the marketContinued public investment in the countywide trail network may gradually strengthen demand for walkable access across many Duval neighborhoods as segments connect.

Duval median single-family price at $332,500 as inventory grows
NEFAR's April 2026 report showed Duval County's median single-family price at $332,500, with 910 closed sales and homes spending a median 33 days on market. Active inventory stood at 3,395 homes, about a 3.7-month supply, and Duval's Home Affordability Index registered 101, while the six-county regional median dipped 1.3 percent to $390,000 as listings continued to climb.
What it may mean for the marketA roughly balanced supply level historically gives Duval buyers more negotiating room while keeping well-priced listings moving, a dynamic that could persist if inventory keeps rising.

City Council approves $3.53 million in loans for Downtown revitalization
Jacksonville City Council passed Ordinance 2026-0219 on April 28, approving $3.53 million in loans for Downtown projects, including a $1.91 million loan tied to the long-stalled Laura Street Trio historic buildings and additional funding for an adjacent Monroe Street property. The financing is part of the city's broader push to return historic core blocks to active use.
What it may mean for the marketProgress on signature Downtown restorations could reinforce the urban core's momentum, which may support buyer interest in close-in Duval neighborhoods over time.

Final Stadium of the Future permit issued at $696.5 million
The city issued the final and largest construction permit for the EverBank Stadium overhaul on February 27, covering $696.5 million of work across eight levels and roughly 652,000 square feet. The permit pushes total permitted construction past $1.33 billion on a renovation expected to exceed $1.4 billion, with the Jaguars playing a reduced-capacity 2026 season at home, relocating temporarily in 2027 and targeting an August 2028 reopening.
What it may mean for the marketA multiyear, billion-dollar anchor project of this scale has historically supported sustained construction employment and visitor spending that may benefit the broader Duval market.

JAXPORT touts record cargo year and Jax Forward strategy
At its 2026 State of the Port address, JAXPORT leadership highlighted record growth, including nearly 1.4 million containers and more than 500,000 vehicles moved in fiscal 2025, along with its long-term Jax Forward strategy. Recent and ongoing capital work includes a completed $72 million container terminal modernization, a new auto-processing facility at Blount Island, crane fleet upgrades and a new vehicle berth slated for 2027.
What it may mean for the marketExpanding port capacity could sustain logistics and trade employment across the county, a factor that may underpin steady housing demand in many Duval submarkets.

Four Seasons launches sales of private residences at the shipyards
Sales opened January 21 for the 26 private residences at the Four Seasons Hotel and Residences rising on 5.1 riverfront acres near EverBank Stadium, with prices starting at $4.7 million and completion anticipated in June 2027. The 10-story project also includes 170 hotel rooms, and an adjacent six-story office building set to house the Jaguars' headquarters was expected to finish in early 2026.
What it may mean for the marketThe arrival of a flagship luxury brand may broaden the price spectrum of Duval's housing market and could draw new buyer segments to the riverfront core.

Council passes $2.06 billion budget with $559 million for capital projects
Jacksonville City Council approved a record $2.06 billion general operating budget and a $559.12 million capital improvement plan for fiscal 2025-26, along with a one-eighth mill property tax rate reduction. The largest infrastructure items include $54 million for Shipyards West Park, $22.5 million for countywide road resurfacing, $22.28 million for Riverfront Plaza, $20 million for the Museum of Science and History relocation and $20 million each for New Berlin Road and Old Middleburg Road improvements.
What it may mean for the marketSustained capital spending on roads, parks and riverfront amenities may incrementally improve infrastructure conditions that influence livability across Duval County.

JTA launches NAVI, first autonomous public transit service in the U.S.
The Jacksonville Transportation Authority announced the launch of NAVI, billed as the nation's first autonomous-vehicle public transportation revenue service, with rides beginning June 30 along the 3.5-mile Bay Street Innovation Corridor from Pearl Street to EverBank Stadium. The initial fleet uses 14 electric Ford e-Transit vehicles running weekdays, the first phase of JTA's larger Ultimate Urban Circulator plan for Downtown transit.
What it may mean for the marketNew transit connections through Downtown could improve mobility between the urban core and the stadium district, which may add appeal for households prioritizing car-light commutes.
