Ocean 14 and Ocean 21 Condos for Sale in Jacksonville Beach, FL

Ocean 14 and Ocean 21 are two of South Jacksonville Beach's most established oceanfront condominium addresses, both located in the 1st Street South corridor of Jacksonville Beach's 32250 zip code. These buildings represent the generation of oceanfront condominium construction that defined South Jacksonville Beach before the wave of newer buildings that followed — Ocean 21 was completed in 1973 and Ocean 14 in 1976, placing both among the original high-rise condominium buildings on the Jacksonville Beach oceanfront. Their combined history of over 50 years of continuous occupancy makes them among the best-understood buildings in the market from a reserve fund, structural, and community governance standpoint — buyers who look carefully will find well-documented association histories and established management structures in both buildings.

Ocean 14 at 1301 1st Street South is the larger of the two buildings — a 17-story tower with approximately 259 units across 2-to-4-bedroom floor plans ranging from 1,100 to 3,200 square feet. The building underwent a significant renovation of its club facilities and pool area in 2014-2015, and the building's management team has maintained a reputation for active property oversight. Ocean 14 amenities include an oceanfront pool, fitness center, clubhouse, storage units, secure entry, and on-site property management. The building operates a 1-year minimum rental policy, which limits short-term rental activity and supports a more stable owner-occupant and long-term tenant residential character. HOA fees at Ocean 14 average approximately $1,060 per month, though fees vary by unit size and should be confirmed for any specific unit during due diligence. Buyers should also be aware of Ocean 14's milestone inspection and structural integrity reserve study requirements as a building over 50 years old, and should confirm the current status of any special assessments before committing to a purchase.

Ocean 21 is a 6-story building with 107 units in 2-to-3-bedroom configurations ranging from 1,168 to 2,250 square feet. The building is located in South Jacksonville Beach, in a more residential portion of the 1st Street South corridor than the northern condo row. Ocean 21 amenities include a pool, pool deck, secured entry, and on-site management. Water is included in the Ocean 21 HOA fee structure — a meaningful distinction from many comparable buildings where water is billed separately. The building allows 6-month minimum rentals and welcomes pets, making it more accessible to a broader range of buyers and tenants than the 1-year minimum Ocean 14 policy. As with all buildings of this age in the Jacksonville Beach market, buyers should confirm the status of the association's structural integrity reserve study and any related assessments.

Both Ocean 14 and Ocean 21 are positioned in South Jacksonville Beach, in proximity to the J. Turner Butler Boulevard interchange and the Ponte Vedra Beach market to the south. Duval County Public Schools serves all residents in zip 32250, with school assignments including Seabreeze Elementary, Duncan U. Fletcher Middle School, and Duncan U. Fletcher High School. Flood zone designations for both buildings are significant given their direct oceanfront position in zip 32250 — AE zone classifications are typical for 1st Street South oceanfront properties, and flood insurance requirements and costs should be confirmed for any specific unit during due diligence.
