About this home
Ocean Forest
This charming Florida-style home is located just a mile and a half from the beach and offers exceptional value at under $900K. Priced to sell, it was originally built in 1999 and has been beautifully updated. Key improvements include HVAC replacement in 2016, roof and stucco installation in 2018, windows and water heater replaced in 2018, as well as an interior remodel--including the master bath, guest bath(s), kitchen, floors, and trim--around 2020. A solar pool heater was added in 2022. The home features stunning vinyl plank flooring throughout, elegant barn doors, three full bathrooms, lovely glass doors leading to the patio and pool area, and mature Florida landscaping. The split floor plan includes a fourth 'bonus' room or den/office space. Enjoy the saltwater pool, complete with a solar-powered heater for cooler days. Beach enthusiasts will appreciate the quick 1.5-mile walk/run/drive to the public beach conveniently located next to the neighborhood.

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).

Storms & insurance
Florida Reality Check
The storm-and-insurance facts every Florida buyer should know up front.
Flood zone not yet determined
Check the exact parcel at msc.fema.gov or ask Krista to pull it.
Flood damage is not covered by standard homeowners insurance — it’s always a separate policy.
Evacuation zone not yet determined
Check floridadisaster.org/knowyourzone.
Roof: Shingle — year not disclosed (home built 1999)
Roof age drives Florida insurance pricing more than anything else — worth confirming before you offer.
Solar potential: ~1,235 usable sun-hours per year
Moderate solar exposure — shade or roof orientation limits panel output here.
Krista can connect you with local insurance quotes before you make an offer.
Ask about this homeThis Reality Check is informational only — it draws on FEMA/FDEM hazard layers, Florida DOH water records, and the listing’s own fields at this property’s coordinates. None of it is a determination, survey, or inspection, and public records can lag or conflict with on-site conditions. Independently verify anything you’ll rely on: the flood zone at msc.fema.gov and floridadisaster.org/knowyourzone (and confirm flood-insurance cost with your lender and a licensed insurance agent), and the sewer/septic, roof, and utilities with a professional inspection.
Sun & Light
Northwest-facing backyard — summer sunsets, gentle days
The listing reports the home facing southeast, which puts the backyard and pool on the northwest side. Today at this address: sunrise 7:25 AM, sunset 6:59 PM.
- The rear sits softly lit through most of the day, then catches the late golden hour — in summer the sun sets almost straight into this exposure.
- Cooler than a true west lot with some of the sunset payoff; winter evenings go dark early.
Orientation per the MLS listing; sun paths are seasonal geometry for Northeast Florida, not a shade study — trees, screening, and neighboring structures change the picture on any specific lot.

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.
