The Homes & Style
Pelican Point is an oceanfront condo address, so it prices well above the county at large, with the floor, the view, the size, and the updates driving the value as much as any headline number.
A county-wide single-family median does not describe an oceanfront high-rise, so ignore the broad number here. Confirm current asking and recent sales for a specific residence in the building with a local specialist.
Pelican Point is a single gated oceanfront tower, so the variation is in the floor, the plan, the size, and the directness of the ocean view.
The residences are two and three-bedroom condos from roughly 1,200 to 2,400 square feet, and the higher floors and more direct ocean lines command the top of the range.
Lower-floor residences sit lower in the range while keeping the building's gated oceanfront position and amenities.
Living Here
Pelican Point is run as a full-service gated oceanfront building, and the amenities are a large part of what you are buying.
The community offers a clubhouse, an oceanfront pool, a children's pool, a sauna, a fitness center, and tennis courts, with elevators and a car wash area.
Direct beach access and panoramic ocean views are the heart of the building, with the Jacksonville Beach dining and entertainment a short drive north.
The Jacksonville Beach core, with its restaurants, shops, and the SeaWalk Pavilion, sits minutes away, and the St. Johns Town Center adds big-box and upscale options about 20 minutes west.
On a 1982 oceanfront high-rise, the building's reserves, any special assessments, and any concrete-restoration projects matter as much as the price. Confirm the reserve study and the master policy before you buy.
Residences in the same building price very differently by floor and the directness of the ocean view. Confirm exactly what each residence looks out on.
Before You Offer
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 Pelican Point 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 Pelican Point 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.
Comparisons
Pelican Point's natural cross-shops are the other gated oceanfront condominium buildings in Jacksonville Beach. Against Ocean 14, Pelican Point trades a newer building's modern systems and lower near-term reserve risk for an established 1982 tower with a deeper amenity package, more residences, and a longer track record at this stretch of sand. Against the boutique luxury of Marbella, Pelican Point gives up the newer, smaller, higher-finish profile and gains a more attainable entry into direct oceanfront ownership with a full amenity deck. And against the single-family streets a few blocks inland, Pelican Point trades a yard and fee-simple ownership for a lock-and-leave lifestyle, panoramic ocean views, and a condo fee that carries the building's insurance and reserves. The honest summary: Pelican Point wins on amenities, view, and an attainable oceanfront price, and gives ground on building age and the diligence a 1982 high-rise demands.
Who It Fits
Pelican Point fits the second-home buyer who wants a gated, full-amenity oceanfront base with no exterior upkeep, the buyer trading a single-family home for a lock-and-leave coastal lifestyle, and the buyer who values direct beach access and panoramic Atlantic views over square footage and a yard. It also fits the buyer who will read the building's reserves, master insurance, and milestone-inspection status as carefully as the residence itself. It does not fit the buyer who wants fee-simple ownership and a private yard, the buyer who needs the lowest possible carrying cost with no association fee, or the buyer unwilling to underwrite an older high-rise's reserve study and any special assessments. For those, the inland Jacksonville Beach single-family streets or a newer building are the better targets.
