Highland Heights
Homes for Sale in Fernandina Beach, FL

Highland Heights sits in Fernandina Beach, Nassau County, and covers 320 homes built across more than a century, from 1910 up through 2023, with no dedicated community amenities identified in current MLS listings. It reads less like a single planned subdivision and more like an established pocket of the city where each home's story is its own.

The building stock in Highland Heights is unusually wide-ranging: 320 homes with recorded construction dates stretching from 1910 to 2023, and a median build year of 1972.5. A buyer touring the neighborhood in a single afternoon could see a home built at the earliest stretch of that range right next to one finished within the last few years. Median living space lands at 1,788.5 square feet, a middle-of-the-road size that works as either a full-time residence or a smaller second home.

There is no dedicated community amenity package identified in current MLS listings, so whatever draws a buyer here is the home and the location itself, not a clubhouse or pool. Homestead exemptions apply to 72% of the homes, indicating most owners are claiming the property as their primary residence rather than holding it as a rental or short-term investment, which tends to keep day-to-day upkeep more consistent across the neighborhood even without a formal HOA.

A neighborhood with homes spanning 1910 to 2023 and no closed sales in the current MLS window is not a place to price off a neighborhood average. Momentum agents pull condition-adjusted, home-by-home comparisons and walk buyers through what a given build era typically means for systems, permitting history, and renovation cost, so an offer on Highland Heights is grounded in the specific property rather than a generic neighborhood number.
