Santa Monica is a small, established single-family subdivision in the St. Nicholas area of Jacksonville's central southside, in Duval County. Homes here were built predominantly in the late 1950s and into the 1960s, mostly single-story construction, with modest square footage and lots generally around a fifth of an acre. Because these are resale homes rather than new construction, each one trades on its own condition, updates, and lot rather than a builder price sheet.
realMLS (Northeast Florida) sales records identify 304 homes in Santa Monica that have changed hands since 2001, built between 1959 and 2014 (median 1962), with a median living area of about 1,488 sq ft and a typical 3-bedroom, 2-bath layout; 99% are single-family homes.

The subdivision runs along Santa Monica Boulevard North and South, reached from University Boulevard West and Barnes Road. No mandatory homeowners association or CDD was identified for the neighborhood, which is typical of Jacksonville subdivisions platted in this era. It is a small, quiet subdivision without a dedicated on-site amenity, and nearby public parks in the surrounding St. Nicholas and San Marco area provide options for recreation.
The bigger picture is location. Santa Monica sits inside Jacksonville's central southside, close to the St. Nicholas and San Marco areas and within a short drive of downtown Jacksonville across the St. Johns River. That proximity is the enduring appeal of an older, built-out subdivision like this one, where the main factors to weigh are the age of the housing stock rather than competition from new supply.
