As of September 2026, the MLS records 14 closed sales in Pace Gardens in Fleming Island, FL since 2002, the most recent in August 2026. Across Fleming Island as a whole, 269 homes closed in the last 12 months at a median of $460,000, 29 median days on market, with 55 homes for sale today. At that median and Clay County's FY2025-26 rate of 15.05 mills, annual property tax runs about $6,920 ($6,330 with the full homestead exemption).
Pace Gardens is defined by size. With a median living area around 3,277 square feet, this is a large-home enclave in Fleming Island, and the price you pay here is driven far more by condition and updates than by any published range. Homes were built across a long window, from 1979 through 2013, with a median build year of 1995, so you are buying into a mix of eras under the same roofline of square footage.
The market posture is stable rather than churning. A homestead share near 87% tells you most owners live in these homes rather than renting them out, which typically means fewer listings hit the market at once and turnover is measured. For sellers, that scarcity works in your favor if the house shows well. For buyers, it means patience and readiness to move when the right updated home appears.
The 60-Second Overview
Pace Gardens is a small, owner-occupied pocket of larger homes in Fleming Island, where roughly 163 homes span more than three decades of construction. Expect square footage over price theatrics — the story here is space and condition, not a crowded resale churn.

The Pace Gardens buying strategy.
If we were buying in Pace Gardens 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 Pace Gardens.
Space first, vintage second
The through-line in Pace Gardens is generous floor plans. A median of roughly 3,277 living square feet puts most of this community well above starter-home territory, and that scale is consistent enough to be the defining trait of the neighborhood. What varies is age: with construction running from 1979 to 2013 and a median year built of 1995, two homes of similar size can sit in very different condition depending on how they have been maintained and updated.
That spread is exactly where value gets decided. Because the homestead share is high, near 87%, many of these homes have been held and lived in for years, so kitchens, roofs, HVAC systems, and finishes will tell the real pricing story on a house-by-house basis. Read each listing on its own merits rather than assuming the neighborhood sets one price.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Pace Gardens. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
