Sandalwood sits on Jacksonville's east side, a settled residential neighborhood built around family homes, mature trees, and a straightforward commute to the beaches and the rest of the city. It's the kind of area where you'll find a mix of longtime owners and newcomers, with schools like Grasp Academy, Joseph Stilwell Middle School, and the Marine Science Education Center anchoring the community, plus easy access to nearby areas like Baymeadows and the broader Jacksonville homes for sale market.
Right now the resale picture is tight — inventory is thin and homes that hit the market don't sit long. If you're shopping here, expect to move quickly and come prepared, because the few sellers who list are getting close to their asking price. Check the live map to see what's actually available before you plan a weekend of showings.

Sandalwood FAQs
Is Sandalwood a good place to live?+
It's a practical, established east-side Jacksonville neighborhood with a solid roster of assigned schools, from Brookview Elementary through Sandalwood High School. The mix of settled homes and easy access to nearby areas like Baymeadows makes it a steady choice for families and commuters. It leans residential rather than flashy, which is exactly what many buyers want.
Is Sandalwood expensive?+
It's mid-range for Jacksonville. The single active listing is priced at $499,000, while homes that actually closed over the last 12 months had a median sold price of $243,750 — a reminder that current asking prices and recent sales can tell two different stories. Budget with the sold data in mind and treat the list price as the top of the range.
What do homes cost in Sandalwood?+
The current listing is at $499,000, working out to roughly $238 per square foot on a typical 2,100-square-foot home. Over the past year, six homes sold with a median price of $243,750, so most transactions have landed well below the current asking figure. Your final number depends heavily on size, condition, and how updated the home is.
How is the market in Sandalwood right now?+
Inventory is extremely tight — just one active listing at the moment — and homes that hit the market move in a median of about 2 days. Sellers are getting an average of 98% of their asking price, so there's little room for lowball offers. If you find something you like, be ready to act. Keep an eye on the live map for new listings.
What are the HOA fees and property taxes like?+
HOA costs are light here, with a median of about $35 per month. Property taxes run higher, at a median of roughly $7,210 per year, so factor that into your monthly budget. Always confirm the exact figures on the specific home you're considering, since they vary by assessed value and community.
