Jacksonville Beach Real Estate
Jacksonville Beach is the largest and liveliest of the Jacksonville Beaches — the rebuilt pier, Seawalk Pavilion, a full events calendar, and the widest price range of the three, from oceanfront condos to canal-front boating homes to new-construction single-family. As of mid-2026 the median sale price is roughly $720K. If you want walk-to-everything beach-town energy with the broadest selection of homes and price points, this is the beach. This guide maps its neighborhoods and the current market.
