Yulee is in Nassau County, Florida (ZIP codes 32097). · Homes for sale in Yulee · Nassau County

As of 2026-09-06, the median home sold in Yulee, Florida over the last 12 months went for $456,000 (530 closings across 44 communities in Momentum’s MLS record), about $195 per square foot for a median 2,250-sq-ft home built around 2019.

Yulee is where Nassau County's growth is happening. A decade ago it was a crossroads north of the Jacksonville airport; today it is Wildlight, Tributary and a string of builder communities, and the typical home that sold last year was built in the last few years. The median sits above the statewide line because so much of the stock is new and large.

It is also the closest new-construction market to the Jacksonville airport, which matters to a specific kind of buyer.

What your budget buys in Yulee

Three price points from 260 recent Yulee closings in our record, each showing what actually closed within 10% of that price:

Each price band here buys more square footage than the equivalent band in Jacksonville, which is the appeal. The lower band is townhomes and the smaller builder plans; the middle band is the four-bedroom new build that most relocating households buy; the upper band gets you into Amelia Walk and North Hampton, where the lots are larger and the golf and marsh views start.

The real monthly cost of owning in Yulee

Take the median $456,000 home with 20% down at today’s 6.71% 30-year rate: principal and interest run about $2,356/month. Nassau County’s typical total millage is 13.28 mills, so after the $50,000 homestead exemption the property tax is roughly $5,390/year ($449/month) for a new owner — the seller’s capped bill on the listing will be lower and is not your number. Citizens Property Insurance’s average premium in Nassau County is about $1,159/year; private-market quotes vary with roof age and wind mitigation. 95% of current Yulee listings carry an HOA, with a median of $100/month where one applies. All in, budget on the order of $3,002/month to own the median Yulee home including a typical HOA.

Nassau County has one of the lower millage rates in the region and the lowest Citizens average premium of any county on these guides, so two of the three big carrying costs are favorable. The one to watch is the CDD, which nearly all of the master-planned communities carry on top of a modest HOA, and which appears on the tax bill rather than the HOA statement.

Yulee by ZIP code

Sales and medians by ZIP over the same 12 months: 32097 (234 sales, median $388,450), 32034 (26 sales, median $561,875).

What’s for sale: property types, new construction, and age of homes

Of the last 12 months of sales, 87% were single-family homes, 9% townhomes or villas. New construction accounted for 38% of closings, led by Tributary, Del Webb Wildlight, Liberty Cove, Sandy Ridge, Westerly Park at Wildlight (New). The housing stock skews newer: 63% of homes sold were built in 2015 or later and 1% before 1980.

The near-total absence of pre-1980 homes tells you what Yulee is: a new place. That makes insurance simple and inspections short, and it means resale homes compete with builders every day, which keeps resale pricing sharp. Nearly every listing carries an HOA because nearly every home is in a planned community.

Getting around from Yulee

Measured from the center of Yulee’s recent sales: Jacksonville International Airport (JAX) is about 10 miles; Downtown Jacksonville is about 20 miles; St. Augustine is about 53 miles; Gainesville is about 80 miles. Distances are straight-line; drive times depend on the corridor and time of day.

The airport is minutes away and downtown Jacksonville is a reasonable commute on I-95, which is the reason Yulee exists as a housing market. Amelia Island and Fernandina Beach are close enough to be part of daily life, and the drive south to St. Augustine is long enough that most residents treat it as a trip.

Schools, taxes, and insurance: where to verify

School assignments change; check the Nassau County school grades page for the district’s current grades, and confirm zoning for a specific address directly with the district. Property tax figures on this page use Nassau County’s typical millage of 13.28; municipal and special-district millage varies inside the county. Insurance uses Citizens’ Nassau County average of $1,159/year; a wind-mitigation inspection and roof age can move a private quote a long way in either direction.

Yulee: the case for and against

For a buyer who wants a new home with favorable taxes and insurance near the airport, Yulee is the strongest case in Northeast Florida. Price the CDD, compare the builder communities on what they include, and understand that you are buying into a place that is still being built.

What works in Yulee’s favor

  • 38% of sales are new construction, so builder incentives and warranties are part of the market
  • insurance is comparatively manageable here (Citizens average $1,159/year)
  • no state income tax, and Florida’s Save Our Homes cap limits assessment growth once you homestead

What to plan for

  • prices run 13% above the statewide median in our coverage
  • 95% of listings carry an HOA (median $100/month)
  • property taxes reset to your purchase price, so never budget off the seller’s bill
