Coastal charm in North Beach
Tucked away from the bustle of Jacksonville's urban core, the coastal suburban neighborhood of North Beach is a well-established part of the city's rich maritime history. The Intercoastal Waterway sits to the west, the Atlantic Ocean cradles the east and the Saint Johns River lies to the north. The community's oceanfront location has been a key factor in sustaining the local economy for over 150 years, with waterways supporting a thriving fishing and boating industry and providing fresh seafood to restaurants. “Jacksonville Beach is a main draw of this area,” says Jacksonville-based real estate agent Artie Cox. “It’s only a few miles away. Jax Beach is where all of the action happens. They host music festivals; they have great food and a great nightlife scene.” Navy planes can often be seen (and heard) flying overhead due to the Mayport naval base, located approximately 3 miles from the neighborhood.

Modern townhomes and charming retro homes

Newer builds, like the townhomes in the Atlantic Preserve subdivision, were built as recently as 2022. Streets are lined with moss-draped trees and most front yards are grassy and well-kept. Typically, listing prices start at around $450,000 and reach upwards $2.3 million.
