Tamaya Homes For Sale, Jacksonville

HOA fees in Tamaya are unusually low for a community of this caliber, running roughly $100 to $200 per year — an annual charge rather than a monthly one. Based on the listings available in Tamaya, there does not appear to be a separate CDD fee layered on top, which meaningfully reduces the ongoing cost of ownership compared to many master-planned communities in the greater Jacksonville area. Buyers should always confirm exact fees with the HOA directly, as assessments can change.

Tamaya's location on Jacksonville's Southside puts Neptune Beach and Jacksonville Beach about five miles away — roughly a 10-to-15-minute drive depending on traffic and time of day. Atlantic Beach is similarly close at about five and a half miles, and Ponte Vedra Beach is roughly seven miles south. For a community that isn't technically beachside, that kind of access is a genuine draw and something I point out to nearly every buyer I work with in this area.

Tamaya falls within Duval County Public Schools, with students zoned for Kernan Trail Elementary, Kernan Middle School, and Atlantic Coast High School. All three schools are located in the Southside area and are among the more established schools in the district's eastern corridor. School assignments are address-specific, so prospective buyers should verify their particular homesite's zoning with Duval County Public Schools before making decisions based on school access.

Two gates, two eras, one corridor. Queens Harbour (1993–2012) is the yacht-and-golf estate: the freshwater lock, the marina, the club, bigger lots, and the corridor’s ceiling prices. Tamaya (2014–present) is the new-construction resort: fresher homes, the amenity campus, district-funded carry, and an entry point several hundred thousand dollars friendlier. They bracket the same drive to the beaches and Mayo Clinic, which is why the honest question isn’t which is better — it’s whether your budget’s center of gravity sits in boats-and-legacy or new-and-turnkey. I run that side-by-side weekly.

Tamaya's sticker fees mislead in BOTH directions, so here's the straight version. The HOA is genuinely tiny — $121 to $200 a year on current listings — because the community runs on the CDD model: Tamaya sits in the Beach Community Development District (the district publishes its budgets at beachcdd.com), whose assessment rides the Duval County tax bill and generally runs on the order of $4,500 a year depending on the home and lot — roughly $375 a month that a "low HOA" headline never shows. That's what funds the 10,000-square-foot Mediterranean amenity campus. The exact line varies by lot and by any prior bond prepayment, so I pull it — along with the seller's actual tax bill — on every Tamaya home my buyers consider. One more corridor note: current listings here report the Kernan Trail Elementary → Kernan Middle → Atlantic Coast High pipeline; verify any specific address with the district.

No instant estimate here, by design. Automated values average a ZIP code, and a Tamaya home's value turns on what an average cannot see: condition, position on the street, and what the last few Tamaya sales actually closed for. Over the two years to September 2026, 29 Tamaya homes closed through the MLS at a median of $900,000. Every new listing and recorded sale in Tamaya 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 Tamaya's own sales, with no obligation.

A few lines beyond the obvious ones. In Tamaya, 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, the association's estoppel letter, and the community development district line, which is prorated at closing and disclosed to your buyer; handled correctly it is paperwork, handled late it stalls a contract. I run the net sheet against Tamaya's actual cost structure before you commit to a number, so the proceeds figure is real.

It depends on the market you list into, not the one you read about. The 29 Tamaya sales recorded over the two years to September 2026 spent a median of 28 days on the market. The snapshot on this page tracks Tamaya's pace from live MLS activity rather than a static average, and it shifts: a tight-inventory spring and a heavy-inventory fall give different answers. Before setting a price or a timeline, I read Tamaya's current pace, how recent sales closed against their list prices, and what your home's competition looks like the week we launch.
