About this home

Kensington

Step inside to welcoming formal living and dining spaces that can easily flex to fit your lifestyle. The expansive primary suite is a true retreat, featuring a walk-in closet, double vanities, and a separate soaking tub and shower. Enjoy cozy evenings by the wood-burning fireplace in the main living area. Prime location off Atlantic & Kernan puts you minutes from shopping, dining, and a quick drive to the beach. Community amenities include a junior Olympic pool, tennis, basketball, beach volleyball, playground, and gazebo--everything you need for an active, connected lifestyle!

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).

2025 property taxes (current owner): $2,988/yr

Estimated taxes if purchased at asking price: ~$8,400/yr

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.
