About Diamond Springs
Diamond Springs is a Duval County community in Jacksonville where the current market runs from about $502k to $521k, 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: Diamond Springs 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 Diamond Springs
Diamond Springs is situated on Jacksonville's westside, which means downtown's dining and entertainment scene — Restaurant Orsay in Avondale, Matthew's Restaurant in San Marco, and Cowford Chophouse on Bay Street — are roughly 17 to 19 miles away. On weekends, the Riverside Arts Market draws residents east for local farmers, makers, and food trucks along the St. Johns River, and the Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens is about 17 miles out for a more cultural afternoon. Closer to home, the community itself provides everyday outdoor living with its pool, playground, and dog park, so there's genuinely less reason to leave the neighborhood on a casual evening. What surprises people when they start exploring this area is how much Jacksonville proper has to offer once you're willing to make the short drive — from Jumbo Shrimp games at 121 Financial Ballpark to concerts at VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena.
The Homes
Diamond Springs Homes & Architecture
Homes in Diamond Springs are new construction, built in 2026, in Traditional and Craftsman architectural styles — two-story designs with generous square footage typically running from about 3,000 to 3,300 square feet. Most offer four to five bedrooms and between 3.5 and 4 bathrooms, with open-concept floor plans, loft or flex spaces, and three-car garages common across the product line. Inside, buyers can expect kitchen islands, luxury vinyl plank or ceramic tile flooring in living areas, smart-home technology, smart thermostats, split-bedroom layouts, and walk-in closets. The reliable way to know the fees here is per home. I confirm current association and district numbers before you write an offer. Prices have generally ranged from the low $500s.
Amenities
Diamond Springs Amenities & Community Features
Diamond Springs is a gated community — specifically, Haven at Diamond Springs is described as the only gated neighborhood within the broader lagoon community — offering a level of privacy that sets it apart from many westside Jacksonville neighborhoods. Residents have access to a community pool, a dog park, a park, and a playground, all within the neighborhood's borders. Sidewalks, street lights, and curbs throughout give the community a walkable, well-maintained feel, and grounds maintenance is included through the HOA.
Location
Diamond Springs Location & Commute
Diamond Springs sits on Jacksonville's westside in Duval County, placing it roughly 17 to 19 miles from the Riverside and Avondale neighborhoods and the Southbank area of downtown Jacksonville. Major medical care is within reach, with Ascension St. Vincent's Riverside and Baptist Medical Center Jacksonville both about 18 miles away, and UF Health Jacksonville roughly 20 miles out. Jacksonville International Airport is about 25 miles north. Buyers weighing a westside location should factor in the drive patterns toward downtown or the Beaches corridor when thinking through their daily commute.

Questions
Frequently Asked Questions about Diamond Springs
What are the HOA fees at Diamond Springs, and what do they cover?
The only reliable fee figure is the one on a specific home's current bill, which I pull before you make an offer. It covers grounds maintenance and off-site community management, along with access to shared amenities including the pool, dog park, playground, and park. Buyers should confirm the exact fee and what's included with the builder or HOA before closing, as these details can shift in a new-construction community.
Are the homes at Diamond Springs all new construction?
Yes — the homes here are new construction, built in 2026, in Traditional and Craftsman styles with two-story floor plans generally ranging from about 3,000 to 3,300 square feet. The product line runs four to five bedrooms with open-concept layouts, flex spaces, lofts, and three-car garages being common features. It's a relatively new community, so buyers should expect the neighborhood itself to still be taking shape.
How far is Diamond Springs from downtown Jacksonville?
Downtown Jacksonville is roughly 18 to 20 miles from Diamond Springs, putting you within reach of the city's dining, sports, and cultural offerings — though the drive will vary depending on traffic and which part of downtown you're heading to. Jacksonville International Airport is about 25 miles north. If proximity to the Beaches corridor or St. Johns County is a priority, it's worth knowing that Diamond Springs sits on the westside, which is in the opposite direction from those areas.
