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 Waterleaf
Day-to-day living in Waterleaf is notably convenient — a Walmart Supercenter and BJ's Wholesale Club are both about a mile and a half away, and a Walgreens is just over a mile out for pharmacy needs. Dining options nearby include Jollibee and Twin Peaks within roughly a mile and a quarter, with a Starbucks about a mile and three-quarters from the neighborhood. Abess Park and Ed Austin Regional Park — the latter about 2 miles away and consistently well-reviewed — give residents easy access to green space for walks, recreation, and outdoor time. For fitness, both LA Fitness and Crunch Fitness at Harbour Village are within about 3 miles, making it straightforward to keep a regular routine without a long drive.
The Homes
Waterleaf Homes & Architecture
Homes in Waterleaf are exclusively single-family residences, built primarily between 2004 and 2009, and the neighborhood has a settled, established feel as a result. Typical homes run 4 to 5 bedrooms, with living areas generally ranging from roughly 2,250 to 3,000 square feet — a comfortable footprint for a variety of needs. Architectural styles lean toward A-Frame and Ranch influences, and interior features that show up consistently include kitchen islands, walk-in closets, split bedroom layouts, entrance foyers, and pantries. Many homes also include storm shutters, ceiling fans, and primary baths with tub-and-shower combinations. Prices generally range from the upper $400s into the mid-$500s, with HOA fees paid semi-annually — worth factoring into your monthly budget when comparing options.
Amenities
Waterleaf Amenities & Community Features
Waterleaf's community amenities give it a resort-like feel for an established Jacksonville neighborhood. Residents have access to a pool, a children's pool, a clubhouse, a basketball court, and pickleball courts, along with a playground and a park within the community itself. A jogging path and sidewalks throughout the neighborhood make it easy to stay active without leaving home. Maintenance grounds and on-site management are also part of what the HOA covers, which helps keep the community well-kept and consistent.

Questions
Frequently Asked Questions about Waterleaf
What are HOA fees like in Waterleaf, and what do they cover?
HOA fees in Waterleaf are paid semi-annually and range from roughly $424 to $848 per period depending on the home. The HOA covers maintenance of common grounds, on-site management, and access to the community's amenities — including the pool, children's pool, clubhouse, basketball court, pickleball courts, jogging path, and playground. It's worth building the semi-annual schedule into your budget planning when comparing this community to others with monthly HOA structures.
How close is Waterleaf to the beach?
Atlantic Beach is about 6 miles from Waterleaf, Neptune Beach is roughly 6 miles, and Jacksonville Beach is about 7 miles out. Ponte Vedra Beach is approximately 10 miles south. For a Jacksonville neighborhood that isn't directly on the coast, Waterleaf offers genuinely easy beach access — most of these drives run well under 20 minutes outside of peak summer weekends.
Are there golf courses near Waterleaf?
Yes — Blue Sky Golf Club is about a mile and a half away, and Hidden Hills Golf Club is roughly 2 and a half miles out. Jacksonville Golf & Country Club and Atlantic Beach Country Club are both within about 5 miles, offering private and semi-private options for golfers who want more than a public course nearby.
How much is my home in Waterleaf worth?
The honest answer is a range until someone walks the house. The spread inside Waterleaf comes from lot, condition and timing, and a public estimate flattens all of that into a ZIP-code average. Follow this page and every Waterleaf listing, price change and recorded sale reaches you as it posts. For the real number, I prepare a valuation against Waterleaf's recent sales, free and without obligation.
How long does it take to sell a home in Waterleaf?
Two numbers answer it: the neighborhood's median and your home's position against the homes for sale the week you list. The first is on this page and changes with the season; the second decides whether you beat the median or trail it. Pricing against Waterleaf's live competition, not last year's average, is most of the work.
What does it cost to sell a home in Waterleaf?
Fewer lines than most sellers expect, and worth knowing exactly. In Waterleaf, 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. The same sale price nets differently with concessions, timing and positioning, so I run the full seller's net sheet for your home before you commit to a number.
