About this home
Jacksonville Beach
Wake up to the sound of waves and golden sunrises in Unit 6A at The Waterford, an exclusive boutique oceanfront condominium with only 36 residences in the heart of Jacksonville Beach. This 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath corner residence offers expansive Atlantic Ocean views from nearly every room, complemented by a 60-foot wraparound balcony, your front-row seat to dolphins, sea breezes, and beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Designed for both comfort and entertaining, the open layout is filled with natural light and features durable tile flooring throughout, a 2.5-year-old A/C, and a new water heater. The building has been beautifully updated with a full exterior repaint and sleek glass balcony railings, enhancing both style and panoramic views. Strong financial reserves reflect a well-managed association, where residents enjoy a private, friendly community, an oceanfront pool, and covered parking, all just steps from the beach, dining, shopping, and the Jacksonville Beach Pier.

Cost to own
True monthly cost
What this home actually costs per month at the asking price — not just the mortgage.
- • Homeowners insurance is on top — in Florida it varies widely with roof age and wind/flood zone (see the Reality Check below). Budget it before you offer.
- • In CDD communities (Nocatee, eTown, Seven Pines…), bond assessments are collected on the property-tax bill, and the amount varies home to home — a prior owner may have prepaid the bond — so we confirm this home’s exact line rather than trust a community average.
- • Taxes are estimated at YOUR purchase price — Florida assessments reset on sale, so the seller’s current bill is usually lower than yours will be (that applies to the reference bill above too).

Florida’s Save Our Homes cap limits how fast the current owner’s assessment can rise — and it resets when a home sells, so a buyer’s tax bill is typically based on the purchase price, not the seller’s bill above. Estimate uses the median effective rate across 3,305 current Duval listings and includes typical non-ad-valorem assessments; actual taxes depend on exemptions and taxing district.
