The Area
About New Construction — Jacksonville
Jacksonville's Southside corridor is where the city is actually building: Seven Pines and eTown's villages (Kettering and Del Webb eTown among them), Everrange, and a steady run of townhome communities along the 9B and Gate Parkway spine. The inventory is a genuine mix — townhomes from the high $100s and $200s, single-family homes through the mid-market, and custom builds running into the millions — with a corridor-wide median asking price in the low-to-mid $500s. Most of the corridor feeds Duval County schools including Bartram Springs and Twin Lakes Academy at the elementary level and Atlantic Coast High.
Living Here
What It's Like to Live in New Construction in Jacksonville
Daily life in Jacksonville's Southside puts residents close to St. Johns Town Center and The Avenues Mall — both within about 3 miles — for shopping, dining, and everyday errands. Terra Gaucha Brazilian Steakhouse and Fogo de Chão are both within roughly 3 miles, and Cooper's Hawk Winery & Restaurant is a short drive for a more casual evening out. When the weekend calls for something different, Castaway Island Preserve — about 6 miles away — offers boardwalks, a kayak launch, and tidal marsh views along the Intracoastal, and Dog Wood Park is just over a mile away for a quick outdoor break.
The Homes
Southside New Construction: Homes & Floor Plans
Single-family homes lead the new-construction inventory here — roughly three of every five active listings — with townhomes making up most of the rest, concentrated in the newest communities along the corridor. A typical new build runs about 2,200 square feet, with plans spanning compact 1,100-square-foot townhomes to 5,700-square-foot estate designs. Prices run from under $300K on the townhome side to custom builds in the millions, with the corridor-wide median asking price in the low-to-mid $500s. Expect today's builder standards throughout: open plans, quartz kitchens, and energy-rated construction — with HOA structures that vary by community, and CDD-style assessments in some of the master-planned villages. I confirm both numbers for any build my buyers consider.
Amenities
New Construction Jacksonville Home Amenities
The corridor's new master-planned communities compete on amenities: eTown's Recharge and Exchange centers bring resort pools, fitness, and co-working space; Seven Pines opened with its own amenity campus and miles of trails; and the townhome communities typically pair lower-maintenance living with community pools. What each HOA actually covers varies widely from one community to the next — grounds, exterior maintenance, and amenity access are packaged differently even between neighboring developments — so I review the association documents and fee structure on every new build before my buyers commit.

Schools Near Jacksonville New Homes
Most of the corridor's new construction feeds Duval County Public Schools — Bartram Springs, Twin Lakes Academy, and Mandarin Oaks lead at the elementary level among current listings, with Atlantic Coast High serving the bulk of the corridor. Because the corridor spans multiple zones and new communities sometimes open ahead of rezoning decisions, school assignments are address-specific — confirm the zoned school for any particular homesite directly with the district before you commit.

New Construction — Jacksonville FAQ
What types of new construction are available on the Southside?
Single-family homes lead — about three of every five active new builds — with townhomes making up most of the rest. Seven Pines and eTown's villages carry the widest single-family ranges, while the townhome communities along the 9B and Gate Parkway corridor offer the most accessible entry points, starting under $300K. Some homes are move-in-ready spec inventory; others are to-be-built, where you pick the homesite and finishes.
What do HOA and CDD costs look like in these new communities?
It varies by community type. Townhome communities typically carry higher monthly dues that bundle exterior maintenance; single-family villages run more modest HOAs — but several of the master-planned communities also carry a CDD-style assessment as a separate line on the tax bill, which is the number buyers most often miss. Before you sign a builder contract, get both figures for the specific community — I pull them for every new build my buyers consider.
How far is this area from the beach and from downtown Jacksonville?
Jacksonville Beach and Neptune Beach are each about 12 miles away — roughly a 20-minute drive under normal conditions. Downtown Jacksonville is closer, around 6 miles, and Mayo Clinic Florida is just about 4 miles away on the Southside, which makes this corridor convenient for anyone working or receiving care there.
