Lake Shore's numbers are shaped by its age: a median build year of 1949 across a range that stretches from 1902 to 2024, meaning the housing stock runs from early-20th-century construction to recent infill and renovation. That range is what's actually setting price here — condition and vintage vary property to property, and the mid-$190s median (right around $159 per square foot) reflects a market where an older home in original shape and a recently rebuilt one can sell in very different tiers even though the neighborhood-wide median sits in the middle.
Momentum's read for a seller or buyer right now: the market has cooled from where it was — prices are down 5.2% year over year, and our heat score for Lake Shore sits at 28, on the lower end of what we track, meaning less competitive pressure than in busier Jacksonville submarkets. Active listings sit at zero as of this snapshot, so there is currently no inventory to compare against; anyone serious about this community needs to move quickly the moment a listing surfaces rather than assume there will be options to shop between.
Figures in this note are as of July 14, 2026. The live market numbers elsewhere on this page update nightly and are newer.

🟡 Balanced market. 3.7 months of supply and 11% of the inventory already under contract put buyers and sellers on roughly even footing.Why it matters: months of supply is how long today's inventory would last at today's sales pace; under-contract share is the portion of homes for sale that already have a buyer.Momentum Research analysis of realMLS records, as of October 23, 2026. Confidence: Very High (9 active and pending listings, 27 closed sales in 12 months).

The 60-Second Overview
Lake Shore market snapshot (as of October 23, 2026): the median sale price is about $195K ($154 per sq ft over the trailing 12 months of closed sales), a median 30 days on market for closed sales, and 3.7 months of supply, a balanced market. The trailing-12-month median is down 3% from the prior 12 months and up 491% since 2012, computed from record-level realMLS closed sales (27 closings in the current window).
Lake Shore is a community of 704 homes in Jacksonville, Duval County, built between 1902 and 2023 (median 1951.0), with a median living area of about 1,432 square feet. 56% of parcels are homesteaded, the owner-occupancy proxy in the Florida DOR assessment roll (2025 roll, public records).
Lake Shore is an established Duval County community with roughly 3,083 homes spanning more than a century of construction, from 1902-era houses to builds completed as recently as 2024. That age spread, paired with a 433% increase in typical price since 2012, points to a neighborhood that has undergone substantial reinvestment over the past decade-plus.

Who Lake Shore is best for.
Best for
- Buyers whose primary goal is a lower entry price point (median $196,250) with budget set aside for renovation on an older home.
- Buyers or investors targeting Duval County's established, already-appreciated core (up 433% since 2012) rather than new-construction submarkets.
- Buyers with flexible timing who can move fast the moment a listing appears, given zero active inventory at present.
Probably not for
- Buyers who need to compare multiple active listings side by side before deciding — there is currently nothing active to compare.
- Buyers seeking a larger home matched to newer-construction expectations; median living space here is 1,384 sq ft.
- Buyers uncomfortable with year-over-year price softening; Lake Shore's median price is down 5.2% year over year as of this snapshot.

The Lake Shore buying strategy.
If we were buying in Lake Shore today, this is the order of operations we would run for our clients.
Underwrite the condition first. Price the roof, HVAC, and systems honestly before judging any list price; condition swings value here more than square footage alone.
Match the home to real comps. Recent sales of similar condition and lot, not the asking price, tell you what a home is worth.
Move deliberately, not desperately. Neither side has a decisive edge, so a well-prepared, fairly-priced offer wins without overpaying.
Line up financing and inspection early. A pre-approval and an inspection plan let you act fast and negotiate from evidence.
Keep an agent in your corner. The listing agent works for the seller; we represent you and prepare a hand-built valuation before any offer in Lake Shore.
An Older Core, Reinvested
At a median 1,384 square feet, the typical Lake Shore home is compact by newer-construction standards, consistent with a neighborhood whose center of gravity is a 1949 build year. Homes here closed in the most recent window we track (24 closings) at a median $196,250, or about $159 per square foot — a price point that keeps this community accessible relative to newer-build Jacksonville neighborhoods, though buyers should expect condition, not size, to be the main variable driving offers.
The median days-on-market figure of 29.5 — just under a month — combined with a market heat score of 28 suggests homes here have been moving at a measured pace rather than under multiple-offer pressure. With active listings at zero at the time of this snapshot, that pace reading describes the most recent closed transactions rather than what is currently sitting on the market; there is simply nothing active to observe today.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Lake Shore. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Momentum Buy Score.
Our proprietary 0 to 10 read across the factors that decide how a home in Lake Shore buys, holds, and resells. Momentum Research; not an appraisal.
Momentum Intelligence Scores are our proprietary, qualitative assessment on a 0 to 10 scale, built from the record-level market data on this page. They are a framework for comparing communities, not a guarantee of future value and not advice on a specific home; unlike an automated value estimate they do not price your home, they grade the community on evidence you can inspect. Composite is the plain average of the 5 factors (6.0). Basis: Long-Term Appreciation +491% since 2012; Recent Direction -2.6% year-over-year; Liquidity & Demand 3.7 months of supply; Owner Commitment 56% owner-occupied; Pricing Power 89.1% sale-to-list. Refreshed with each data update.
Why work with Momentum here
When a community shows zero active listings, the deals that move happen off the visible market — through relationships, off-market conversations, and knowing which of the 3,083 homes here are likely to turn over next. Momentum tracks Lake Shore's closed-transaction pattern (pricing, pace, and the age mix behind it) so that when something does list, our clients are already positioned to act instead of starting research from zero.
