Highland Glen Homes for Sale in Jacksonville, FL

Highland Glen appeals to households and move-up buyers who want gated, resort-style single-family living near the beaches and the St. Johns Town Center.

Homes have recently listed in the roughly 675,000 dollar to 1.165 million dollar range per listing data, with an average around 280 dollars per square foot, set by the plan, the lot, and the updates. A specific home should be priced from the closest comparable sales.

The gated setting, the resort amenities, and the Intracoastal West location keep demand steady from buyers who want luxury and convenience.

Highland Glen is a gated single-family community, so the choice comes down to the floor plan, the lot, and the level of updating.

ICI Homes from roughly 2,000 to 4,000 square feet, with three to five bedrooms, suit households and move-up buyers.

Preserve and water lots carry a premium, so the homesite matters to lifestyle and resale.

Homes from 2004 onward trade as both updated and original, so condition is a factor in price.

Highland Glen pairs a deep amenity package with its Intracoastal West location.

A gated entry adds security and privacy.

A swimming pool and cabana, a community center, and a fitness center anchor the community.

A putting green, a playground, and a meditation park add recreation.

The beaches, JTB, the Mayo Clinic, and the St. Johns Town Center are minutes away.

Everyday shopping and dining are minutes away at the St. Johns Town Center and along the Beach Boulevard and Gate Parkway corridors, with grocery, retail, the beaches, and entertainment a short drive. The location is one of the most convenient on the east side.

Highland Glen pairs gated luxury homes with resort amenities minutes from the beaches, which is the main reason buyers shop here.

Confirm the HOA dues and exactly what the gated amenities coverage includes for the specific home.

With preserve and water lots and a range of conditions, price off the closest comparable sales.

Jacksonville sees coastal, river, and creek flooding, and pockets near the St. Johns River tributaries can sit in higher-risk zones. Jacksonville participates in the FEMA Community Rating System at a class 6, which earns flood-insurance discounts of about 10 percent for homes outside a special flood hazard area and about 20 percent for homes inside one.

The reliable move is to pull the FEMA flood designation for the exact Highland Glen address before you write an offer, since two homes in the same area can fall in different zones. A home in Zone X can cost far less to insure than one near water in Zone AE. Get a bindable flood and homeowners quote during your inspection period, so the cost is in your monthly math before you commit, not after.

The Jacksonville metro is served by Xfinity (Comcast) cable across nearly all addresses and by AT&T with DSL almost everywhere plus fiber to a growing share of homes. If working from home matters, confirm the options, and fiber in particular, at the specific Highland Glen address rather than assuming.

Duval County total millage runs roughly 17.9 to 18.5 mills depending on the taxing district. The Florida homestead exemption for 2026 is 51,411 dollars for those who qualify, and the deadline to file a new homestead exemption is March 1.

The trap to plan for is the post-sale reset: when you buy, the Save Our Homes cap from the previous owner ends and the assessed value resets to the new just value, so your second-year tax bill is often higher than the seller current one. Budget the true number, and confirm whether the specific home carries a CDD or other assessment that is billed separately from the millage and is not reduced by the homestead exemption.

The honest field for Highland Glen is the other gated, amenity-rich single-family communities in and around Intracoastal West, each with a different trade-off.

Tamaya is a larger gated, resort-style community nearby off Beach Boulevard, with a Mediterranean theme, a clubhouse, and a fuller amenity calendar, but it carries a CDD on the tax bill that Highland Glen buyers should weigh against the lower-fee structure here. Pablo Creek Reserve is a higher-end gated enclave closer to the beaches and the Mayo Clinic, a step up in price for larger custom homes. Crosswater at Pablo Bay is a nearby gated community along the Intracoastal with its own amenities at a comparable tier.

Where Highland Glen consistently wins is the combination of larger ICI Homes, a deep amenity package, and a central Intracoastal West location minutes from JTB and the beaches, without the country-club cost. It loses to Pablo Creek Reserve on top-end custom prestige and to Tamaya on sheer amenity scale. We will help you weigh them by total cost of ownership, not list price.

Highland Glen fits move-up buyers who want gated, resort-style single-family living from ICI Homes, with a pool, fitness center, putting green, and meditation park, in one of the most convenient parts of the east side. The larger homes, the amenities behind a gate, and the central Intracoastal West location suit buyers who value luxury and convenience near the beaches, JTB, the Mayo Clinic, and the St. Johns Town Center, and who plan to weigh the preserve or water lot premium and a home's condition honestly.

It is a weaker fit for buyers who want an attainable price point, brand-new construction with a builder warranty, or a no-HOA setting with the lowest possible carrying cost. Buyers who need to be a short walk to the sand or who want a large master-planned community with its own town center should look elsewhere. For those buyers, the nearby beaches communities or the larger master plans may be the better match.
