Airport Terrace
Homes for Sale in Jacksonville, FL
True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.
As of September 2026, the MLS records 21 closed sales in Airport Terrace in Jacksonville, FL since 2001, the most recent in May 2025. Across Jacksonville as a whole, 8,846 homes closed in the last 12 months at a median of $305,375, 44 median days on market, with 2,385 homes for sale today. At that median and Duval County's FY2025-26 rate of 17.86 mills, annual property tax runs about $5,460 ($4,720 with the full homestead exemption).
Airport Terrace is a small, older pocket of Jacksonville where price is driven far more by condition than by any single formula. With a median year built of 1973 and stock reaching back to 1937 as well as forward to 2024, you are looking at a wide mix of vintages under one name, and the median living area of roughly 1,478 square feet tells you this is a modestly sized-home market. Two homes on the same street can be worlds apart on price depending on what has been updated.
For buyers, that spread is the opportunity: a renovated home and a project home don't trade alike, so due diligence on systems, roof, and prior work matters more here than in a uniform subdivision. For sellers, condition is your lever — the delta between a well-kept, updated home and a dated one is where the negotiation lives. With just 96 homes carrying the name, this is a thin market, so comparables take work to read.
The 60-Second Overview
Airport Terrace is a compact Duval County enclave with a long build history — homes span 1937 to 2024 — which means you should expect variety in size, era, and condition rather than a single product type.

The Airport Terrace buying strategy.
If we were buying in Airport Terrace 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 Airport Terrace.
A small, mixed-vintage market
The numbers that matter here are the ones about the housing itself. A median build year of 1973 places the bulk of the stock in an older bracket, but the 1937–2024 range means you will also find both true vintage homes and newer construction. Median living space near 1,478 square feet keeps most of this inventory in the smaller-footprint category, which suits buyers who want to keep their carrying costs contained or who plan to add value through improvements.
The homestead share sits just under half at 47.5%, meaning a meaningful portion of these homes are not owner-occupied as a primary residence. That mix can matter for anyone weighing long-term hold strategies against the character of the immediate street. With only 96 homes total, availability is limited and turnover can be sporadic — patience and a willingness to move when the right listing appears both help.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Airport Terrace. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
