As of September 2026, the MLS records 42 closed sales in Chelsea Cove in Jacksonville, FL since 2001, the most recent in January 2026. Recorded prices since 2024 ran from $425,000 to $549,000 (median $507,000), on homes of 1,780 to 2,037 sq ft. Across Jacksonville as a whole, 8,846 homes closed in the last 12 months at a median of $305,375, 44 median days on market, with 2,385 homes for sale today. At that median and Duval County's FY2025-26 rate of 17.86 mills, annual property tax runs about $9,060 ($8,320 with the full homestead exemption).
Chelsea Cove is a small, single-era pocket of 32 homes in Jacksonville's Duval County, built between 1992 and 2000 with a median year built of 1993 and a median living area of 2,255 square feet. Current MLS listings show no identified amenities tied to the community — no clubhouse, pool, or gated entry — so whatever draws a buyer here is the house and the lot, not a shared amenity package. A homestead share of 93.8% points to a community of long-held primary residences rather than frequent resale or investment turnover.
That low turnover shows up directly in the market data: the current snapshot lists zero active listings and just one closing in the trailing window. That's too thin a sample to put a reliable price figure on, and it means anyone working Chelsea Cove right now, buyer or seller, is operating without a current set of comparable listings to lean on. Expect this to be a street where opportunities come up occasionally rather than continuously, and where prior sales history and direct outreach matter more than scrolling the MLS.
The 60-Second Overview
Chelsea Cove is a compact, single-era subdivision of 32 homes in Duval County, built between 1992 and 2000 with a median living area of 2,255 square feet and no amenity package identified in current listings — value here rests on the individual home and lot, not a shared community feature.

Probably not for

The Chelsea Cove buying strategy.
If we were buying in Chelsea Cove today, this is the order of operations we would run for our clients.
Underwrite the condition first. Price the roof, HVAC, and systems honestly before judging any list price; condition swings value here more than square footage alone.
Match the home to real comps. Recent sales of similar condition and lot, not the asking price, tell you what a home is worth.
Move deliberately, not desperately. Neither side has a decisive edge, so a well-prepared, fairly-priced offer wins without overpaying.
Line up financing and inspection early. A pre-approval and an inspection plan let you act fast and negotiate from evidence.
Keep an agent in your corner. The listing agent works for the seller; we represent you and prepare a hand-built valuation before any offer in Chelsea Cove.
A Single-Era, Thin-Inventory Street
Every home in Chelsea Cove was built in the same stretch, 1992 through 2000, with a median year built of 1993 — this is a consistent construction era, not a mix of older and newer stock. Across the community's 32 homes, the median living area is 2,255 square feet, and current MLS listings show no identified amenities attached to the community, such as a pool, clubhouse, or gated entry.
The ownership pattern reinforces that consistency. A 93.8% homestead share means the large majority of Chelsea Cove's owners have claimed it as a primary residence, which tracks with slow turnover. The current MLS snapshot shows zero active listings and only one closing in the trailing window — not enough activity to establish a fresh price signal. Buyers and sellers here should plan around infrequent openings rather than a steady stream of comparable listings.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Chelsea Cove. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
