About The Peninsula
The Peninsula is a Duval County community in Jacksonville where the current market runs from about $675k to $825k, with homes built around 2008. 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: The Peninsula 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 The Peninsula
Daily life at The Peninsula puts you within a short walk of some of Jacksonville's most recognized dining — Cowford Chophouse, a beautifully restored 1902 steakhouse on Bay Street overlooking the St. Johns River, is roughly a few minutes on foot, and Matthew's Restaurant in San Marco is just around the corner. Treaty Oak Park, home to the landmark 250-year-old oak tree and a quiet stretch of riverfront green space, is about a block away — the kind of outdoor anchor that makes an urban address feel genuinely livable. Buyers who ask me what surprises them most about this location almost always mention the entertainment density: EverBank Stadium, Daily's Place amphitheater, VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena, and 121 Financial Ballpark are all within about a mile, which means concerts, Jaguars games, and Jumbo Shrimp nights require nothing more than a short walk. For dining beyond the immediate neighborhood, Restaurant Orsay in Avondale is about a 10-minute drive, and Marker 32 on the Intracoastal is roughly 20 minutes east.
Location
The Peninsula Location & Commute
The Peninsula occupies a prominent position along the St. Johns River in downtown Jacksonville, placing residents roughly half a mile from Baptist Medical Center Jacksonville — one of Northeast Florida's flagship hospital campuses — and about a mile from Ascension St. Vincent's Riverside. UF Health Jacksonville, an academic medical center and Level I trauma center, is about 2 miles away. Jacksonville International Airport is about 12 miles north, typically a 20-to-25-minute drive. The beaches at Atlantic Beach and Neptune Beach are about 15 miles east, and Ponte Vedra Beach is roughly 17 miles southeast — close enough for a weekend afternoon but far enough that the Peninsula's character is distinctly urban rather than coastal. For school-zone verification, the Duval County Public Schools district locator is the most reliable source for any specific address.

EverBank Stadium, VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena, and Daily's Place are all about a mile away.

Homes in The Peninsula have generally been priced from the upper $600s into the mid-$800s, with most of the housing stock built around 2008. Because this is a relatively concentrated community in an urban setting, inventory tends to be limited — it's worth setting up an alert so you don't miss a home when one does come to market.
