The Amelia Island-Greater Nassau County Association of Realtors , says there's a broad price range for Nassau County residential property. On the mainland, a similar house might have more acreage or even have more square footage yet sell for about the same price. The mainland area around Yulee is gaining in popularity as development occurs. An outlet mall is going in near Interstate 95. Resort property is another matter.
All numbers are for Nassau County, unless otherwise noted.
The climate is pleasant. At 80 degrees, the ocean's summer temperature moderates the sun's heat. The modern shrimping industry began in Fernandina Beach, yet some maintain that today's shrimp boats add more to the town's scenic waterfront than to its overall economy. Nevertheless, commercail and sport fishing, along with tourism, are important to the local economy. Resorts on the island and agriculture on the mainland employ more workers.
