The cost of buying in Dinsmore and housing options
Dinsmore's median sale price is in the lower $300,000s, slightly less than Oceanway but comparable to Forest Trails and Cisco Gardens/Picketville. Single-family homes typically sell from the lower $200,000s to the lower $400,000s. ED PENNINGTON, an experienced broker associate with Boardwalk Realty Associates, says that home values are likely to rise as construction continues.
"This is a new place where everyone is building, because it's some of the last available land in the city. The area used to be old cow farms and mini ranches, but now they are selling their land to builders and developers," Pennington says. You'll find new houses in subdivisions and wooded tracts over 10 acres. Dinsmore Farms has houses from the 2020s on lots over 2 acres. Dinsmore Farms has houses from the 2020s on lots over 2 acres.

Where residents can shop and enjoy a meal
Dinsmore has pockets with logistics companies and other businesses. "It's a bit rural and a little industrial. You've got stores that are off the main thoroughfares," Pennington says. You can pick up groceries at the local butcher shop, Dinsmore Meats, or visit Rowes IGA in the Dunn Village retail center. The shopping space houses popular restaurants, Celestia's Coastal Cuisine, and Dreamette, a local ice cream chain. Dinsmore's rural charm shines at its local farm-to-table restaurant, Congaree and Penn. "You can even buy super green, fresh produce and artwork from local artisans [there]," says Orlando Spencer, the broker and owner of O-Luxury Realty. River City Marketplace, about a 15-minute drive away, includes national stores and restaurants.
Commuting options for locals
Commuters can hop on the Dinsmore Shuttle to connect to another bus line leading to Downtown/Riverfront. But most locals drive their cars. The city center is about 15 to 25 minutes away, depending on traffic on US 23, also called New Kings Road. Trips to Jacksonville International Airport are generally 15 minutes along Interstate 295.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
