Oceanway's subdivisions are near parks and schools
The Oceanway neighborhood, in north Jacksonville, contains planned subdivisions and pockets of houses without HOAs. Woodlands surround the homes, as well as winding streets that lead to parks and shopping areas. The community has experienced a lot of builder activity over the last 20 years, with several recent additions. Locals are within reach of outdoor activities, public schools, interstates and the River City Marketplace.
Growth in the Oceanway neighborhood can be seen in the new subdivisions being built.

Non-HOA homes and new residential communities
Most Oceanway homes were built after 2000. New Traditional and contemporary houses usually have stucco exteriors, large windows and attached garages. The neighborhood's newest homes are in Avalon Woods, Wingate Landing and the gated Tidewater subdivisions. "Some buyers look in the pre-planned communities, but there are also non-HOA and non-CDD areas to buy into. You can find a home outside a planned development with more space," says Nathanael Riggs, a broker and co-owner at Someday Homes Realty & Construction with years of selling experience in the region. Outside of subdivisions, there are ranch styles and colonial-inspired two-story houses, as well as recently built, custom homes. Properties without HOAs include the Water Bluff Shores and Eastport developments.
Oceanway subdivisions feature ponds and other large bodies of water.

Home price comparisons for Oceanway
“It’s one of the more affordable parts of the city. You can get the same house on the northeast side of Jacksonville that will cost less than the far southwest or the beaches,” Riggs says. Oceanway has a median sale price in the mid $300,000s, lower than neighboring New Berlin or Eagle Bend. Most 21st-century houses cost from the lower $200,000s to the mid $500,000s. Move-in-ready older homes sell between the lower $100,000s and the lower $400,000s. Tidewater has homes from the lower $600,000s to $1.2 million.

Some areas have a higher crime rate than others and I wouldn't be caught in them, but others still seem very old school. Kids playing in the streets, doors open, cars unlocked.
