It's a solid fit if you want Amelia Island life without a resort price tag — a quieter, residential slice of Fernandina Beach close to the marshes and beaches. The mix of established homes and 45 new-construction listings means you can find both character and modern builds. It suits full-time residents and second-home buyers alike.

Compared to much of Amelia Island, it's approachable — the median list price is $295,514, and active listings run from $28,000 up to $1,085,000. Only one active listing is above $1 million, so the bulk of the market sits well within reach for most buyers. You can compare current options on the live map.

The median list price is $295,514 and homes average about $182 per square foot, with a median size of 1,541 square feet. Over the past 12 months, 517 homes sold at a median of $318,380. That gap between list and sold reflects a range of property types moving through the zone.

It's steady and reasonably brisk — median days on market is 36.5, and sellers are getting 98% of asking on average. With 160 active listings against 517 sales in the past year, there's healthy turnover and genuine choice for buyers. Well-priced homes don't linger.

Costs here are modest — the median HOA is about $100/month and median property tax runs roughly $3,465/year. If you're renting instead, the median rent is around $1,288/month. Always confirm exact HOA terms per community, since fees vary by neighborhood.
