Estimate: asking price less the $50,000 homestead exemption × Duval County rate (17.86 mills, adopted 2025 millage). Not a bill.
⚠️
Property taxes in Florida are reassessed after a sale, so a buyer’s first full-year bill can be higher than the seller’s. Budget from this estimate, not the current bill, before you make an offer.
Current owner’s estimated bill $3,200/yr ($267/mo) — taxable value $178,547 × 17.86 mills
$6,575 more each year
(+205%)
Most of this comes from Florida’s Save Our Homes assessment cap resetting when the home sells — the current owner’s protected assessment does not transfer to a new buyer.

The Messtimate™
The Messtimate
This is a deliberately dumb estimate — living area times a range of recent neighborhood $/sq ft, and nothing else. It is not an appraisal, not market value, and not a valuation of this home. Even a tight range from comparable sales can’t price a specific home — here’s why.
$482,050the mess$612,250
Stronger local evidence — 4 comparable closed sales in Ocean Pond, closed within the last 18 months, same property type, living area within 30% of this home.
Actual list price: $597,000 — compare it against the range above. The Messtimate is a blind sqft estimate; the list price reflects this specific home.
A 27% spread on the same house — and that gap is exactly what an automated guess can't see:
Condition & updates — a 1991 home may have had its roof, kitchen, or HVAC replaced since, or not; sq ft can't see either.
The lot & views — a premium golf, water, or preserve lot vs. a road-facing one: same sq ft, very different price.
Outliers skew it — one flip or distressed sale in the comps drags the whole $/sq ft up or down.
Carrying costs & concessions — CDD, HOA, insurance, and seller-paid buydowns change what a buyer actually pays.
And here's what the live market is doing — which the number above ignores entirely:
This home: 22 days on market vs. a 73-day community median
1 active listing competing
≈3.0 months of supply
4 closed here in the last 12 months
For reference, this home is listed at $597,000 ($385/sq ft). The list price is the seller's asking price and is not derived from this range.
Want a property-specific review from a licensed agent? A Momentum Realty agent will do a real, free comparative market analysis — walking the home, the lot, the condition, and the live market. That's the difference between a Messtimate and a valuation.
Methodology: 1,550 sq ft × $311–$395/sq ft (±12% around the median of 4 comparable closed sales in Ocean Pond, last 18 months; MLS closed-sale records). Estimate for general information only; not an appraisal, valuation, or offer. Updated October 4, 2026.

JWB secures funding for 108 affordable housing units in Jacksonville
Jacksonville Today reported that JWB Real Estate Capital secured about $28.59 million in gap funding for 108 income-restricted units across three Westside sites on Tracy, Justina and Ricker roads. Plans include 38 townhome-style units and two sets of 35 efficiency units, priced at or below 60% of area median income for 50 years. Groundbreaking is expected by September 2026 with completion in 2027.
Why it matters: Adds new income-restricted rental and townhome housing supply on the Westside, increasing the stock of long-term affordable units and drawing public and tax-credit investment into three infill sites. The project is about 21 miles west of Ocean Pond, elsewhere in Duval County.
Culinary Institute of America selects Jacksonville for Southeast campus
News4Jax reported that the Culinary Institute of America chose downtown Jacksonville for its Southeast hub, to be located at 330 E. Bay Street on the Northbank riverfront. The campus would anchor a $160.5 million hotel and convention center development. The city previously approved up to $35 million in incentives, and the Downtown Investment Authority is finalizing agreements on design and property details.
Why it matters: Anchors a major downtown riverfront redevelopment that pairs an educational campus with hotel and convention space, adding institutional and commercial investment to the urban core alongside Riverfront Plaza and Pearl Square. The project is about 16 miles west of Ocean Pond, elsewhere in Duval County.
Hillwood contracts with the City of Jacksonville for 192 acres at AllianceFlorida at Cecil Commerce Center
Master developer Hillwood contracted with the City of Jacksonville for 192 acres at AllianceFlorida at Cecil Commerce Center on Jacksonville's Westside, continuing the buildout of the former Naval Air Station Cecil Field into an industrial and logistics park.
Why it matters: Continued absorption of large industrial parcels at Cecil signals sustained employment growth on the Westside, which can support housing demand across nearby communities. The project is about 28 miles west of Ocean Pond, elsewhere in Duval County.
Southeast Toyota opens $170M vehicle-processing facility at JAXPORT's Blount Island, adding 400-plus jobs
Southeast Toyota Distributors dedicated a new vehicle processing facility at JAXPORT's Blount Island Marine Terminal in April 2026. The company put the investment at $170 million and said the facility created more than 400 full-time jobs, most of them hired locally.
Why it matters: A large new employment center on Blount Island adds sustained local job demand, a factor that has historically supported nearby housing absorption. The project is about 11 miles northwest of Ocean Pond, elsewhere in Duval County.

Frequently asked questions
How big is 1897 OCEAN POND Drive and when was it built?
Per the listing record, 1897 OCEAN POND Drive was built in 1991 and has 1,550 sq ft of living area, 3 bedrooms and 2.0 bathrooms. Living area and lot size come from the MLS record and should be verified against the county property appraiser.
What community is 1897 OCEAN POND Drive in?
1897 OCEAN POND Drive is in Ocean Pond in Jacksonville Beach, Duval County. The comparable-sales section on this page shows recent closed sales nearby from the same MLS data.
Does 1897 OCEAN POND Drive have an HOA?
The listing reports no HOA. Confirm with the county record that no deed restrictions or mandatory association apply to the parcel.
Why might property taxes on 1897 OCEAN POND Drive differ from the current owner's?
The estimate on this page (about $9,775 per year) assumes reassessment at the list price less the homestead exemption. Estimated buyer taxes are about $6,575 more per year than the current owner’s estimated bill (+205%). Florida reassesses a home after it sells; for a homesteaded seller the Save Our Homes cap on their assessment does not transfer, and a buyer's own exemptions and portability are applied separately, so the two bills usually differ. Any tax figure shown here is an estimate, not the actual bill — confirm with the county property appraiser and tax collector.
Is 1897 OCEAN POND Drive in a flood zone?
A flood designation has not been verified for this address. Look up the parcel on FEMA's Flood Map Service Center (msc.fema.gov) and confirm with your insurer.
Can I rely on the figures on this page?
No. Estimated taxes, insurance, payments, and any market or comparable-sales summary are opinions and estimates for general information only and should not be relied upon. Verify all information independently before making any decision.
