About Oak Creek
Oak Creek is a Duval County community in Jacksonville where the current market runs from about $575k to $612k, with homes built around 2024. 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: Oak Creek 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 Oak Creek
Oak Creek's Southside Jacksonville location puts everyday dining and entertainment within a short drive. Matthew's Restaurant in San Marco — one of Jacksonville's most enduring fine-dining destinations — is about 3 miles away, and the Cowford Chophouse on Bay Street, set in a beautifully restored 1902 building overlooking the St. Johns River, is roughly the same distance. For a green escape, Treaty Oak Park and its iconic 250-year-old landmark tree are about 3 miles out, while Castaway Island Preserve — with boardwalks, a kayak launch, and tidal marsh views along the Intracoastal — is around 8 miles. Buyers who appreciate proximity to downtown Jacksonville's sports and entertainment scene will note that EverBank Stadium, VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena, and 121 Financial Ballpark are all within about 2 to 3 miles.
The Homes
Oak Creek Homes & Architecture
Homes in Oak Creek are newly built — construction dating to 2024 — and run about 3,150 square feet with 5 bedrooms and between 3.5 and 4.5 bathrooms. The architectural style is traditional, and interiors reflect modern open-concept thinking: open floorplans, kitchen islands, quartz countertops, hardwood in the living areas, and primary suites with separate tub-and-shower configurations. Walk-in closets, entrance foyers, and generous pantries are common throughout. HOA and any district assessment numbers here change year to year, so I confirm the current figures on any home you're considering instead of quoting a stale number. What surprises people touring here is how much finished space you get for the price point — 3,100-plus square feet of new construction in this range is genuinely hard to find closer to the beaches corridor.

The beaches at Neptune Beach and Atlantic Beach are about 12 to 13 miles east, and Jacksonville International Airport is approximately 14 miles north. For school-zone verification, Duval County Public Schools maintains an address-specific locator — always confirm the exact assignment for any address you're seriously considering.
Schools
Schools Near Oak Creek
Oak Creek falls within the Duval County Public Schools district. The high school associated with this area is The Bolles School. Elementary and middle school assignments were not available to me at the time of writing — I'd encourage you to confirm all grade-level assignments directly through the district's school locator, as zoning is address-specific.
Questions
Frequently Asked Questions about Oak Creek
How new is the construction in Oak Creek, and are there builder warranties to consider?
Homes in Oak Creek were built around 2024, making this one of Jacksonville's newer residential pockets on the Southside. Because the homes are newly constructed, buyers should ask the seller or builder about any remaining structural or systems warranties — these can vary by builder and are worth confirming before closing. If you want specifics on a particular home, my Christie's colleague who covers this market closely can walk you through what's transferable.
What are the HOA fees in Oak Creek, and what do they cover?
Association and district assessments here change year to year, so I confirm the current figures for any home you consider instead of quoting a number that may be stale. The fact sheet I have on hand doesn't break out exactly what's included in that fee — no community amenities were listed for Oak Creek — so I'd recommend requesting the HOA's current budget and bylaws as part of your due diligence. That document will tell you what the fee covers and what the reserve situation looks like.
How far is Oak Creek from the Jacksonville beaches?
Neptune Beach and Atlantic Beach are each about 12 to 13 miles from Oak Creek — roughly a 20-to-25-minute drive depending on traffic. Jacksonville Beach is about 13 miles, and Ponte Vedra Beach is around 14 miles south. It's a reasonable beach run, though this is decidedly an urban Southside neighborhood rather than a coastal one.
