Broward Key is a Duval County community in Jacksonville where the current market runs from about $527k to $821k, with homes built around 2026. Every listing below is live from the MLS — the same data, tax truth, and flood detail as everywhere else on this site, updated continuously. A note on how I work this area: Broward Key sits beyond the St. Johns County and Beaches corridor I serve street-by-street every day. The data here is real and current, and when you are ready to tour or list, I will introduce you to the colleague at my Christie's International Real Estate office who knows this market best — and stay involved as your advocate from first call to closing.
Living Here
What It's Like to Live in Broward Key
Life in Broward Key revolves around the water — the community's marina, boat dock, and boat launch put the St. Johns River within reach on a daily basis, and a jogging path winds through the neighborhood for those who prefer to stay on land. Downtown Jacksonville is roughly 15 minutes away, putting venues like the Cowford Chophouse on Bay Street and Daily's Place amphitheater in easy reach for an evening out. Treaty Oak Park, one of downtown's quiet riverfront spots, is about 6 miles south, and the Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens is practically a neighbor at about a mile away. For school and permit questions, Duval County Public Schools maintains the district's official resources.
The Homes
Broward Key Homes & Architecture
Broward Key is an entirely new-construction community, with every home built in 2026 — buyers here are getting the first occupancy. Single-story floor plans run from roughly 1,900 to about 2,250 square feet, with 3- to 4-bedroom layouts and 2.5 to 3 bathrooms, and several homes include 2- or 3-car garages. Interiors lean into open-concept living, with kitchen islands, breakfast nooks, walk-in closets, and smart-home technology as recurring features. About half the homes in the community sit on waterfront lots. I don't publish fee numbers that can go stale. When you're serious about a home here, I pull the current HOA and assessment figures for that exact lot.
Amenities
Broward Key Amenities & Community Features
Broward Key is a gated community, so entry is controlled — a detail worth noting if you're comparing it to the open neighborhoods nearby. The standout amenity is the water access: a private marina, a dedicated boat dock, and a boat launch give residents direct connectivity to the water. A jogging path rounds out the outdoor offerings and keeps daily exercise close to home.

Questions
Frequently Asked Questions about Broward Key

Fee figures move with each association budget and each district's adopted assessment, so I confirm them per home at the point you are serious. When you're serious about a home here, I pull the current HOA and assessment figures for that exact lot. That structure covers the gated entry and the community's shared amenities, including the marina, boat dock, boat launch, and jogging path. It's a relatively modest figure given the water-access infrastructure included.

For anyone who travels frequently for work, that proximity is one of the more practical advantages of this location compared to communities on Jacksonville's Southside or the Beaches corridor.
