As of September 2026, The Chelsea Lofts in Jacksonville, FL has 1 home for sale. As of September 2026, the MLS records 12 closed sales in The Chelsea Lofts in Jacksonville, FL since 2012, the most recent in June 2026. Across Jacksonville as a whole, 8,846 homes closed in the last 12 months at a median of $305,375, 44 median days on market, with 2,385 homes for sale today. At that median and Duval County's FY2025-26 rate of 17.86 mills, annual property tax runs about $5,460 ($4,720 with the full homestead exemption).
The number that matters most here isn't a price — it's the near-total absence of inventory. The current snapshot shows no active listings and only a single closing in the tracked window, which tells you The Chelsea Lofts is a small, tightly held building where units rarely turn over and almost never sit on the market long enough to build a public price history.
For a buyer, that means there's no shelf of comparable listings to shop against — you're working off one data point, not a trend line. For a seller, thin inventory can work in your favor, but pricing still has to be defensible against that same limited record rather than guesswork.
The 60-Second Overview
A loft-style condo community in Jacksonville, Duval County, where the HOA structure bundles trash and water into the monthly fee and the building carries an on-site restaurant amenity — a mix that reads more urban mixed-use than typical suburban condo.

Who The Chelsea Lofts is best for.
Best for
- A buyer set on this specific loft-style building who is willing to wait for the right unit to surface.
- A buyer who wants an HOA fee that already folds in trash and water rather than billing them separately.
- A buyer drawn to a building with an on-site restaurant amenity rather than a typical clubhouse-and-pool package.
Probably not for
- A buyer who wants to compare several active listings side by side — there currently aren't any.
- A buyer who relies on a deep resale history to justify an offer price.
- A buyer on a tight timeline who can't afford to wait for scarce inventory to appear.

The The Chelsea Lofts buying strategy.
If we were buying in The Chelsea Lofts 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 The Chelsea Lofts.
A building defined by scarcity, not comps
Two structural facts frame this community. First, the amenity package: trash and water are covered through the HOA, and residents have access to an on-site restaurant — an amenity set that's uncommon outside of urban mixed-use buildings and points to a lower day-to-day maintenance burden than a typical single-family purchase.
Second, the market itself is exceptionally thin. With no active listings and just one closing recorded in the current window, there simply isn't enough public transaction volume to establish a reliable price trend. That's not necessarily a red flag — small, well-held buildings often move this way — but it does mean any offer or listing strategy here has to be built on direct outreach and building-specific knowledge rather than a stack of recent comps.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in The Chelsea Lofts. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
In a building with no active listings and only one recorded closing, the public data trail runs out fast. Momentum's Northeast Florida team tracks activity in low-turnover buildings like this one directly — owner outreach, off-market conversations, and building history — so you're not left waiting on a listing feed that may not update for a long stretch. That local, building-level knowledge is the difference between guessing at value here and having an actual basis for an offer or a listing price.
