Seascape Condo: Oceanfront Living in Jacksonville Beach

Seascape is one of the older condominium buildings in Jacksonville Beach, completed in 1974, and it holds a position that newer construction in the area simply cannot replicate: directly on the ocean, within walking distance of restaurants, bars, and the main commercial corridor of Jacksonville Beach. The building has stayed relevant not by reinvention but because the fundamentals are hard to argue with. Ocean frontage at this location is finite, and Seascape occupies it.

Units are two and three bedrooms, and the floor plans run from around 1,110 to 1,300 square feet. What the square footage does not reflect is the outdoor space. The balconies here are notably deep, and every unit faces the ocean. That configuration means the Atlantic is the view from the living area, the bedroom, and the balcony. For buyers whose priority is waking up to the water, there is not much ambiguity about what Seascape delivers.

The building enforces a one-year minimum rental policy, which limits short-term rental activity and tends to support a more stable, owner-occupied environment. One pet per owner is permitted. HOA fees are on the higher end of the Jacksonville Beach condo market, ranging from approximately $1,267 to $1,658 per month, which reflects the oceanfront position, building age, and the scope of amenities maintained on site.

Buying Here

Seascape trades in the mid-six to high-nine figure range based on recent sales, with closed prices between approximately $680,000 and $985,000 over the past year. Active listings have generally been priced from the mid-$600,000s to around $950,000, at roughly $686 per square foot on average. Given the unit sizes top out near 1,300 square feet, buyers are paying primarily for the oceanfront position and direct Atlantic exposure rather than for interior square footage. This is a relevant distinction for anyone evaluating Seascape against larger inland or second-row condos at similar price points. The price-per-foot reflects what the address provides, and it has been consistent enough to suggest steady demand from buyers who understand what they are purchasing.
