Jon's Current Read

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.

realMLS (Northeast Florida) sales records identify 8 homes in Pace Gardens that have changed hands since 2003, built between 1990 and 2002 (median 1997), with a median living area of about 3,704 sq ft and a typical 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath layout; 100% are single-family homes. Source: realMLS (Northeast Florida) closed-sale history compiled by Momentum Research; counts reflect homes with a recorded MLS sale, not every home in the community.

County records show 9 qualified sales in Pace Gardens across 2024–2025 (5 in 2024, 4 in 2025), median $745,000 — the last recorded sale per parcel on the Florida DOR 2025 assessment roll, independent of the MLS.

Best for

  • Buyers prioritizing large living space over newest construction
  • Long-hold owners comfortable in a low-turnover neighborhood
  • Buyers with a renovation budget who can add value to an older, well-sized home

Probably not for

  • Buyers wanting a small or single-level low-maintenance footprint
  • Investors seeking easy rental inventory in a heavily owner-occupied area
  • Shoppers who need many listings to choose from and a quick close

    First Coast Expressway advances as an economic-development corridor across Clay and St. Johns

    The First Coast Expressway (State Road 23), a tolled beltway looping around the west and south of the Jacksonville metro, continued to open land for development along its corridor, with the final St. Johns County phase from Interstate 95 to east of County Road 2209 in progress. FDOT held a St. Johns County open house on the final phase in January 2026.

    What it may mean for the marketNew limited-access highway capacity shortens commutes and opens adjacent land, changes that have historically shaped where new communities and demand concentrate. The site is about 7 miles southwest of Pace Gardens.

If we were buying in Pace Gardens today, this is the order of operations we would run for our clients.

1

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.

2

Match the home to real comps. Recent sales of similar condition and lot, not the asking price, tell you what a home is worth.

3

Move deliberately, not desperately. Neither side has a decisive edge, so a well-prepared, fairly-priced offer wins without overpaying.

4

Line up financing and inspection early. A pre-approval and an inspection plan let you act fast and negotiate from evidence.

5

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.

Best Buy
Buyers who want real square footage in Fleming Island and are willing to weigh condition carefully.
Biggest Risk
Wide age spread means condition varies sharply from one large home to the next.
Sweet Spot
A well-updated home near the 1995 median build year that has been maintained.
Avoid If
You want a compact, low-maintenance home or a fast, high-inventory market to shop.

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.
