Granada is a Duval County community in Jacksonville where the current market runs from about $799k to $1.6M, with homes built 1926–1949. 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: Granada 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.

What It's Like to Live in Granada
Day-to-day life in Granada puts you close to some of Jacksonville's most distinctive dining — Matthew's Restaurant in San Marco is about 2 miles away, and Restaurant Orsay in Avondale is roughly 2 and a half miles out, both longstanding names on the city's fine-dining scene. For a weekend outing, the Riverside Arts Market under the Fuller Warren Bridge draws local farmers, makers, and food vendors on Saturdays, and Treaty Oak Park — about 2 and a half miles away — offers a quiet riverfront stop anchored by one of Florida's most iconic trees. Downtown venues including EverBank Stadium and VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena are roughly 3 miles from the neighborhood, keeping major sports and entertainment well within reach.
The Homes
Granada Homes & Architecture
Homes in Granada are predominantly traditional and historic in style, reflecting construction dates that range from 1926 to 1949 — a building era that shows up in deep entrance foyers, built-in features, and the kind of architectural detail rarely found in newer construction. Typical floor plans run around 3 bedrooms and between 2.5 and 3 bathrooms, with living areas generally in the range of roughly 2,400 to 3,500 square feet. Prices run from the high $700s into the mid-$1 millions, with the upper end approaching $1.6 million — often on lots large enough to accommodate a private pool, outdoor kitchen, or tennis court. Interior finishes across the neighborhood commonly include kitchen islands, walk-in closets, and balconies, and several homes have been updated with smart thermostats while preserving their historic character.
Amenities
Granada Amenities & Community Features
Granada's community character comes from its well-lit, tree-lined streets rather than a formal amenity package — the neighborhood features street lighting throughout but no gated entry, community pool, or clubhouse. What draws buyers here is the lot size and the home itself: private pools appear on homes throughout the area, and individual properties frequently include outdoor kitchens and tennis courts on their own grounds. For recreation beyond the neighborhood, Castaway Island Preserve — with boardwalks, a kayak launch, and tidal marsh views along the Intracoastal — is about 11 miles out, and Kathryn Abbey Hanna Park's oceanfront beach and trail system is roughly 16 miles away.
Location
Granada Location & Commute

Baptist Medical Center Jacksonville — the flagship Baptist Health campus with a Level I trauma center — is about 2 miles away, and Ascension St. Vincent's Riverside is roughly the same distance in the other direction. Jacksonville International Airport is approximately 15 miles north, and the Atlantic beaches at Neptune Beach and Jacksonville Beach are about 16 miles east. What surprises buyers touring this area is how central it feels — downtown Jacksonville, the St. Johns River waterfront, and the city's main employment corridors are all within a short drive.

Questions
Frequently Asked Questions about Granada
How old are the homes in Granada, and what should buyers expect from properties this age?
The homes in Granada were built primarily between 1926 and 1949, which means buyers should plan for due diligence around systems, structure, and any historic preservation considerations. That said, the architectural character of this era — entrance foyers, built-in features, generous room proportions — is a significant part of what draws buyers here. A thorough inspection and a conversation with a contractor familiar with mid-century construction are worthwhile steps before committing.
Is there an HOA in Granada?
Based on what I have on hand, Granada does not carry a formal HOA, which means no monthly dues or association-governed restrictions of that kind. Buyers should confirm this with title research during the transaction, as individual lots or sections can sometimes have deed restrictions that don't surface through a standard neighborhood inquiry.
How far is Granada from the beaches and major hospitals?
The Atlantic coast beaches — Neptune Beach, Jacksonville Beach, and Atlantic Beach — are roughly 16 miles from Granada, typically a 20-to-30-minute drive depending on traffic. On the medical side, Baptist Medical Center Jacksonville is about 2 miles away and Ascension St. Vincent's Riverside is about 2 and a half miles out, making Granada unusually well-positioned relative to major healthcare facilities.
