True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.
As of October 2026, the MLS records 328 closed sales in The Palms in Jacksonville Beach, FL since 2003, the most recent in September 2026. Recorded prices since 2024 ran from $225,000 to $739,000 (median $582,900), on homes of 1,156 to 2,808 sq ft. Across Jacksonville Beach as a whole, 267 homes closed in the last 12 months at a median of $630,500, 51 median days on market, with 74 homes for sale today. At that median and Duval County's FY2025-26 rate of 17.86 mills, annual property tax runs about $10,410 ($9,680 with the full homestead exemption).
Price here is driven by condition and vintage more than any single number. The Palms spans homes built from 1952 through 2018, but the median build year sits at 2015 — meaning most of the inventory is recent construction, with a thin layer of much older stock mixed in. That split creates a wide spread: two homes on the same street can trade very differently depending on whether you are buying original mid-century bones or a rebuild from the last decade.
For sellers, the newer skew and generous median footprint near 2,919 square feet are the story to lead with. For buyers, the takeaway is to underwrite each home on its own terms — the age range is too broad to assume anything from the median alone, and older parcels in a mostly newer pocket can cut either way on value.

Best for
- Buyers wanting a larger, relatively new home and willing to underwrite condition on a home-by-home basis

Probably not for
- Buyers seeking a small, low-maintenance footprint under a couple thousand square feet
- Investors counting on a heavy rental-tenant mix, given the high owner-occupancy

The The Palms buying strategy.
If we were buying in The Palms 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 Palms.
A newer pocket with old bones underneath
With 169 homes and a median build year of 2015, The Palms reads as a predominantly newer community. But the 1952 floor on the year-built range tells you there is genuine variety here — some parcels carry mid-century structures, and how those have been maintained or rebuilt matters enormously to price. This is not a uniform subdivision where one comp explains the next.
The homestead share sits around 76%, which points to a community held mostly by owner-occupants rather than investors. That tends to support steadier turnover and better-kept homes, and it means buyers are more often competing against people who intend to live there. The median living area near 2,919 square feet suggests homes built with room, not compact beach cottages.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in The Palms. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
The value in The Palms hinges on reading each home individually — vintage, condition, and how a 1950s parcel compares to a 2015 build sitting nearby. We price and negotiate off the specifics of the structure in front of you, not a blanket neighborhood average, which is exactly where a wide-vintage pocket like this rewards local judgment.
