How They Compare
Tamaya or Glen Kernan?
Tamaya and Glen Kernan are both gated Jacksonville communities served by Atlantic Coast High School and Kernan Middle, but they sit at different ends of the price and scale spectrum. Tamaya homes run from the upper $600s to about $2.3 million, with 2,000 to 5,300 square feet and a distinctive Spanish and traditional architectural character; the community features a fitness center, tennis courts, basketball court, pool, and jogging path.
Glen Kernan starts around $900,000 and reaches $3.5 million, with homes averaging 3,600 to 8,400 square feet — among the largest in Jacksonville's gated market — and adds an on-site golf course and pickleball to its amenity lineup; elementary-age students are zoned for Chets Creek rather than Kernan Trail. Glen Kernan also shows some active new construction in the MLS, while Tamaya's current listings are mostly resale. Buyers comparing the two are generally weighing Tamaya's price accessibility and Spanish-influenced character against Glen Kernan's estate scale and golf community setting.
Torn between them?
The right answer depends on commute, schools, HOA/CDD costs, and lifestyle — Krista has walked buyers through both for years and will tell you straight which fits your situation.
