Important to know

The neighborhood's median sale price is in the mid $300,000s. Most homes cost between the upper $200,000s and the lower $500,000s. Properties along the water, and some homes over 3,000 square feet, sell from the mid $500,000s to the lower $900,000s. According to FEMA maps, some houses are in flood hazard areas, and homeowners may need flood insurance. “Charter Point (subdivision) is an HOA community, so you’re not going to have short-term rentals there. It’s not very strict, but there are certain rules,” says Rich Stancato a Jacksonville local as well as the broker and owner of Nomad Realty. Many other residents belong to an HOA, so buyers should check rules and regulations before purchasing a home. HOA fees include:

  • Rive St. Johns has an association fee of about $960 a year
  • Emerald Bay's fees are around $275 annually.
  • Charter Point's annual dues are about $275 a year

Housing and HOA snapshot for Charter Point

The Charter Point neighborhood has quiet streets, cul-de-sacs and properties along the water. “This is an older, established neighborhood. It feels like its off the beaten path and tucked away. It’s one of the older parts of Jacksonville that people forget about. You can get lots of square footage for an affordable price,” Stancato says. Most homes are from the 20th century, including ranch styles, Colonial Revivals and split-levels. There are several subdivisions, with the Charter Point development being the largest. Emerald Bay and the Rive St. John subdivisions have more contemporary houses from the late 1990s and early 2000s. Blue Cypress Cove has a handful of homes built in the 2020s. The community also contains waterfront residences along the coves and marshes; some have backyard docks.
