What New Berlin has to offer
New Berlin is an industrial community on the St. Johns River with homes near the water. The neighborhood contains the Jacksonville Port Authority and several manufacturing companies. Although some waterfront homes can reach over a million dollars, inland options start in the mid $200,000s, which makes the area more affordable than other coastal neighborhoods. Locals enjoy easy access to fishing piers, beaches and shopping centers. Despite some heavy traffic, commutes to Downtown/Riverfront are straightforward.

The community has manufactured homes, 20th-century ranch styles and more recent New Traditional houses. Many of the buildings have cement-block foundations that lower the risk of flood damage.

The cost of homes in New Berlin
"If homes are right on the water, the pricing will be higher than the rest of Jacksonville. But you can get a home that's across the street [from a waterfront property] that will sell below the city's median price," says William E Ramos, an experienced broker and the owner of Integrity Key Realty LLC. "But you can still get a waterfront home without paying the premium costs, like Fernandina Beach or Jacksonville Beach." Homes rarely go on the market in New Berlin. The community has a median sale price of around $1.1 million, but inland homes can sell as low as the mid $200,000s. Waterfront residences can sell between the lower $500,000 and over $1.2 million. There is also available land for commercial, residential and industrial uses. Homeowners association fees for Gray's Landing are about $400 per year, while costs for River Enclave are around $1,000 per year.
