Closed sales from the realMLS IDX feed; years with fewer than three sales are omitted. Medians, not estimates of any one home. "Of asking" is the median sold price as a share of the final list price. † A partial year in the feed: it carries only some of that year’s sales, so the median rests on fewer homes and the percent change above starts at the first full year.

What It's Like to Live in Sweetwater
Day-to-day life in Sweetwater puts a Publix Super Market at Reedy Branch Commons within about a mile, and Dutch Bros Coffee and Maple Street Biscuit Company are just over a mile away for morning routines. For dinner out, Seasons 52 and Cooper's Hawk Winery & Restaurant are both roughly 3 miles away, and St. Johns Town Center — with its expansive dining and retail lineup — is also about 3 miles from the neighborhood. Fort Family Park and Deerwood Rotary Children's Park are both under a mile away for an afternoon walk, and Chuze Fitness is about a mile out for those who prefer a gym beyond what the community itself offers.
The Homes
Sweetwater Homes & Architecture
Homes in Sweetwater are almost entirely condominiums built between 2006 and 2009, with a small number of single-family residences. Typical units run 2 bedrooms and 2 baths — though some floor plans offer a den or a third bedroom — with living areas generally ranging from roughly 1,450 to about 2,450 square feet. Prices have typically ranged from the mid-$200s up to the upper-$500s, reflecting differences in floor level, views, and unit size. Inside, expect features like open floor plans, vaulted ceilings, walk-in closets, split-bedroom layouts, eat-in kitchens with breakfast bars, and primary suites with well-appointed bathrooms. Traditional and flat architectural styles dominate, and a meaningful share of residences have water views.
Amenities
Sweetwater Amenities & Community Features
Sweetwater is a gated community with an impressive roster of on-site amenities centered around resort-style living. Residents have access to a community pool and spa/hot tub, a clubhouse, a fitness center, and multiple outdoor recreation options including tennis courts, pickleball, and a jogging path. Barbecue areas, sidewalks throughout, street lighting, and on-site management round out the daily experience. The community's amenities are a major part of what draws buyers here — the low-maintenance condo lifestyle is amplified by having fitness, social, and recreation options steps from the front door.
Location
Sweetwater Location & Commute
Sweetwater sits on Jacksonville's Southside, placing residents within roughly 3 miles of both Mayo Clinic Florida and Baptist Medical Center South — an unusually strong medical corridor for a residential neighborhood. St. Johns Town Center is about 3 miles away, and Jacksonville Beach and Ponte Vedra Beach are both reachable in roughly 20 to 25 minutes, sitting about 8 to 9 miles out. Jacksonville International Airport is approximately 22 miles north, a drive that typically runs 30 to 40 minutes depending on traffic. The location also puts TPC Sawgrass — one of the most recognized golf courses in the country — within about 6 to 7 miles.

Questions
Frequently Asked Questions about Sweetwater
What are the HOA fees like in Sweetwater, and what do they cover?
Monthly HOA fees in Sweetwater have generally ranged from roughly $250 to about $710 per month, with the variation reflecting unit size, floor level, and specific sub-association. Those fees support the gated entry, community pool and spa, fitness center, tennis and pickleball courts, jogging path, clubhouse, and on-site management — essentially the full resort-style amenity package. Buyers should request the current fee schedule and review what is and isn't included before making an offer, as the monthly cost is a meaningful part of owning here.
Is Sweetwater truly a 55+ community, and are all residents required to meet that requirement?
Yes — Sweetwater by Del Webb is an age-restricted, 55+ active-adult community, which means at least one resident in each home must meet the age qualification under federal housing law. This is a factual designation that governs who can purchase and reside here, so buyers who don't meet the age threshold should be aware before pursuing a home. If you have questions about specific eligibility rules, the on-site management team can walk you through the community's governing documents.
How far is Sweetwater from the beach?
Ponte Vedra Beach is about 8 miles from Sweetwater, and Jacksonville Beach is roughly the same distance — both are typically a 20-to-25-minute drive. Mickler's Landing Beach and Neptune Beach are also within about 9 miles. It's one of the more beach-accessible Southside locations in Jacksonville without actually being on the coast.
How much is my home in Sweetwater worth?
No instant estimate here, by design. Automated values average a ZIP code, and a Sweetwater home's value turns on what an average cannot see: condition, position on the street, and what the last few Sweetwater sales actually closed for. Every new listing and recorded sale in Sweetwater appears on this page as it happens, so following it is the simplest way to watch your comp set move. When you want a real number, I prepare it against Sweetwater's own sales, with no obligation.
How long does it take to sell a home in Sweetwater?
Sweetwater's pace is on this page, live, and it is a better guide than any published average. The number moves with inventory and season, so the answer in March is not the answer in October. What I can control is position: a Sweetwater home priced against its actual competition and prepared for photos sells inside the median, and one priced to a hope sits past it.
What does it cost to sell a home in Sweetwater?
The list is short; the net is what matters. In Sweetwater, plan on the commission you and I agree on, Florida's documentary stamp tax on the deed (70 cents per $100 of price), title and closing charges that follow local custom, and an association estoppel letter where there is an association. I run the net sheet against Sweetwater's actual cost structure before you commit to a number, so the proceeds figure is real.
