San Marco's median closed price sits at $644,188 as of 2026-07-11, working out to about $298 per square foot on a median home near 1,928 square feet. That price is carrying a housing stock that spans decades of construction — homes here date from 1894 to 2024, with a median build year of 1943 — so the median is a midpoint to plan around, not a ceiling or a floor.
The one-year read is stark: closed prices are down 33.7% year-over-year, even though the community is still up 183% since 2012. That swing is riding on just 32 closings and zero active listings right now, so a handful of transactions can move the median hard in either direction — this reads as much like a thin-sample, mix-driven result as a demand story. Days on market is a fast 10, and a heat score of 44 points to a market that is neither on fire nor cold. Sellers should not read the year-over-year drop as panic, and buyers should not expect it to repeat.
Figures in this note are as of July 14, 2026. The live market numbers elsewhere on this page update nightly and are newer.
San Marco right now
🟡 Balanced market. 4.5 months of supply and 20% of the inventory already under contract put buyers and sellers on roughly even footing.Why it matters: months of supply is how long today's inventory would last at today's sales pace; under-contract share is the portion of homes for sale that already have a buyer.Momentum Research analysis of realMLS records, as of October 28, 2026. Confidence: High (15 active and pending listings, 11 closed sales in 12 months).
What's unique here: the median sale price is about 4x the typical Duval County sale ($1.32M vs $315K, trailing 12 months, realMLS records).

Who San Marco is best for.
Best for
- Buyers comfortable purchasing a home built well before 2000 (median build year 1943) and budgeting for renovation.
- Buyers targeting a purchase price near the median of $644,188 who can act quickly once a home lists.
- Long-term holders comfortable with a market that has appreciated 183% since 2012 despite short-term swings.
Probably not for
- Buyers who need to compare several active listings side by side — there are currently zero on the market.
- Buyers who want new construction as the norm rather than the exception in a stock built mostly last century.
- Buyers unsettled by a single year-over-year swing — the 33.7% drop is based on only 32 closings, not a broad trend.

City says the LaSalle Street drainage project is complete and operating
Jacksonville officials say the LaSalle Street Drainage Improvement Project is finished, including a new pump station between LaSalle Street and the St. Johns River that can move up to 60,000 gallons per minute, a river outfall, larger trunk pipes and upgrades to nearly a mile of collection system. The work was part of an estimated 64 million dollar effort, 44 million from the city and 20 million in state grants, designed for a 50 year, 24 hour rain event.
What it may mean for the marketCompleted drainage capacity may ease a long running concern for some San Marco buyers, though officials note it will not prevent all flooding and insurance and elevation still matter.

The Huguenot approved on the Downtown Southbank
The Huguenot, a wine, cheese and charcuterie bar, received approval to proceed on the Downtown Southbank in the San Marco area. The owner has pointed to a possible soft opening in late summer.
What it may mean for the marketThe approval may add another small food and beverage venue to the Southbank if it opens as planned.

Fit as Fire pilates studio approved for San Marco
The city approved a tenant build-out for a Fit as Fire reformer pilates studio at 1615 Hendricks Avenue in San Marco, listed in the Jacksonville Daily Record's June 26 Development Today column with a project cost of about 42,500 dollars and Kel Constructors as contractor. Fit as Fire operates additional Northeast Florida studios.
What it may mean for the marketA boutique fitness tenant choosing San Marco may add to the district's mix of everyday use storefronts, which historically helps sustain weekday foot traffic for neighboring merchants.

City permits $150 million Southbank Residences high-rise on former River City Brewery site
The city issued a building permit June 11 for The Related Group's Southbank Residences at 835 Museum Circle, on the cleared River City Brewery site along the Southbank. The permit covers about 261,209 square feet at a $150 million construction cost, with Coastal Construction as contractor. Plans call for roughly 395 apartments across a 25 story tower and an eight story building, with total project investment cited near $202.7 million.
What it may mean for the marketA permitted high-rise of this scale advances the Southbank's shift toward dense riverfront residential, which can raise the profile of the broader San Marco and Southbank submarket. Large rental deliveries may also widen housing options near the river over the build-out period.

Corner Lot seeks rezoning for hotel and retail at former Beach Road Chicken Dinners site
Jacksonville-based Corner Lot filed a rezoning application for 4132 Atlantic Boulevard in the St. Nicholas area near San Marco, now under review by the City Council Land Use and Zoning Committee. A concept plan shows a 122 room hotel, about 10,000 square feet of retail, and restaurant space, with multifamily use remaining part of the program. The request would move the site from one Planned Unit Development to another.
What it may mean for the marketRedevelopment of a long-vacant corner near San Marco could add lodging and retail that support the surrounding commercial corridor. Rezoning applications are early-stage, so the final program may change before any construction.

Pier 95 plan returns with 58 town homes next to RiversEdge
A revised concept for Pier 95 proposes 58 town homes on about 3.9 acres just south of the RiversEdge development on the Downtown Southbank, between Prudential Drive and Interstate 95 near the WJXT studios. Plans from Chad Development LLC include a shared courtyard, pavilion and outdoor kitchen, with the site tied to a future extension of Reed Avenue. The Downtown Development Review Board is scheduled to consider conceptual approval June 11.
What it may mean for the marketTown home product at this scale could add a for-sale option on a Southbank stretch where recent deliveries have leaned toward apartments. Conceptual review is an early step, so the program and timeline may shift as approvals proceed.

LaSalle Street drainage overhaul nears completion ahead of hurricane season
Jacksonville's multiyear San Marco drainage project is in its final stages, with new large diameter pipes installed, roads resurfaced, and landscape restoration wrapping up in late spring 2026. The work replaced 30 inch storm pipes with 60 inch lines that feed a pump station, online since early 2025, capable of moving roughly 70,000 gallons per minute to the river through outfalls fitted with backflow preventers.
What it may mean for the marketExpanded stormwater capacity in the LaSalle Street basin may ease the nuisance flooding that has historically affected low lying blocks, a factor buyers and insurers increasingly weigh in this submarket.

Related Group breaks ground on Southbank Residences towers
After nearly six years of planning, Miami based Related Group held a ceremonial groundbreaking on May 20 for Southbank Residences at the former River City Brewery site. The roughly $202.7 million project pairs a 25 story Icon branded riverfront tower with an eight story companion building, delivering close to 400 residences plus ground floor retail, a marina, and resort style amenities.
What it may mean for the marketThe first new luxury tower on the downtown riverfront in more than a decade could broaden housing options adjacent to San Marco and historically this scale of investment has supported nearby retail and services demand.

The Station at San Marco secures $78 million refinance
Trevato Development Group announced a $78 million refinancing of The Station at San Marco, the 345 unit apartment community at 1230 Hendricks Avenue that opened in 2024. The deal provides long term funding and retires the last construction loan in the developer's portfolio.
What it may mean for the marketA successful institutional refinance of a recently delivered project may signal lender confidence in San Marco corridor rental fundamentals, which could encourage further multifamily investment along Hendricks Avenue.

701 San Marco tower permitted for $3 million lobby and amenity upgrade
The city issued a permit for an approximately $3.1 million renovation of the lobby and common areas at the 701 San Marco Boulevard office tower on the Southbank, including finish upgrades, a new security desk, and a coffee bar. The landlord has also pursued a roughly $2 million second floor fitness center build out as part of repositioning the building.
What it may mean for the marketCapital improvements aimed at retaining and attracting office tenants may support daytime foot traffic for San Marco Square businesses, and a healthier Southbank office base historically benefits the neighborhood's restaurant trade.

Southbank Riverwalk extension enters permitting review
A 1,200 foot extension of the Southbank Riverwalk connecting Baptist Medical Center to the Fuller Warren Bridge shared use path moved into permitting review in January 2026. Plans call for a 17 foot wide walkway with shade structures, benches, and landscaping, funded with about $7.1 million in the city's capital plan, with roughly 18 months of construction after bidding.
What it may mean for the marketClosing this riverfront gap could improve walk and bike connectivity between San Marco, the Southbank medical campus, and Riverside, an amenity link that historically supports values along urban waterfront corridors.

Lofts at Southbank mixed use project advances to permitting
The 10 story Lofts at Southbank at Prudential Drive and Hendricks Avenue entered permitting review more than a year after winning split City Council approvals. The roughly $38.8 million Vestcor led project combines apartments, including affordable units backed by a $6 million city loan, with ground floor retail and a CubeSmart self storage component that drew extended public debate over the downtown zoning overlay.
What it may mean for the marketThe project's progress shows continued developer appetite at the San Marco edge of the Southbank, though the contested approval history suggests future proposals here may face close scrutiny on scale and use mix.

Haskell permitted for $30 million Southbank headquarters build out
The city issued a permit valued at nearly $30.1 million for Haskell to build out its new headquarters across four floors, about 138,000 square feet, at the 701 San Marco Boulevard tower. The design build firm is relocating from its longtime Brooklyn campus and anticipated occupying the Southbank space in summer 2026.
What it may mean for the marketAnchoring a major corporate headquarters on the Southbank may add hundreds of daily workers within walking distance of San Marco Square, which could be supportive for the district's lunch and after work retail economy.

The San Marco buying strategy.
If we were buying in San Marco 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 San Marco.
Price, Age, and a Tight Supply
San Marco's housing stock spans construction from 1894 to 2024, with the median home built in 1943 — a profile that puts most of the inventory well into an older-systems, pre-renovation era before it reaches the market again. Median living area lands near 1,928 square feet, priced at roughly $298 per square foot, with a median price of $644,188.
Homestead exemption filings cover about 68.6% of the 3,643 homes in San Marco, pointing to a stock that is mostly owner-occupied rather than held purely as rental or investment property. Combined with zero active listings and only 32 closings in this reporting window, San Marco is currently a market where buyers wait for something to come up rather than choose among options — days on market of 10 reflects how quickly what does list tends to move.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in San Marco. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
