As of September 2026, the MLS records 45 closed sales in Cades Cove in Orange Park, FL since 2006, the most recent in May 2026. Recorded prices since 2024 ran from $329,000 to $469,000 (median $439,000), on homes of 2,350 to 3,622 sq ft. Across Orange Park as a whole, 653 homes closed in the last 12 months at a median of $330,000, 39 median days on market, with 160 homes for sale today. At that median and Clay County's FY2025-26 rate of 15.05 mills, annual property tax runs about $6,610 ($6,010 with the full homestead exemption).
Cades Cove is a small, single-phase community of 36 homes built almost entirely between 2005 and 2007 (median year built 2006), which keeps construction era and layout expectations fairly uniform across the neighborhood rather than spanning decades of renovation cycles. With just 1 active listing against those 36 homes and only 2 closings in the tracked window, there is not much public data to price against, so pricing here gets set case by case rather than off a deep run of comparables.
Months supply sits at 6.0, which lands in balanced territory, but with a single home currently on the market that reading is more a function of thin closing volume than genuine buyer-seller equilibrium. Homes run large, with median living space of 3,472.5 square feet, so ownership costs (insurance, taxes, upkeep) track with large-footprint construction rather than entry-level totals.
The 60-Second Overview
Cades Cove is a compact, single-phase Orange Park community of 36 homes built out almost entirely between 2005 and 2007, and its large median living space of 3,472.5 square feet sets it apart from smaller-footprint neighborhoods nearby.

The Cades Cove buying strategy.
If we were buying in Cades Cove 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 Cades Cove.
A Tight-Built, Thin-Inventory Pocket of Orange Park
Cades Cove's 36 homes were built almost entirely between 2005 and 2007 (median year built 2006), a three-year window that makes this one of the more architecturally consistent small communities in the area — floor plans, materials, and system ages track closely from house to house rather than spanning multiple decades of construction and remodeling.
Transaction activity has been light: only 2 closings in the tracked window against 1 active listing out of 36 total homes. Months supply of 6.0 puts the community in balanced territory, but with a sample this small, that reading should be treated as directional rather than a firm trend. About 72.2% of homes carry a homestead exemption, consistent with resale activity running through owner-occupied turnover rather than investor-driven listings. No community amenities are confirmed in current MLS listings, so buyers should verify any amenity claims directly rather than assume HOA-run features exist.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Cades Cove. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
With only 1 active listing and 2 recent closings across all 36 homes, Cades Cove does not generate enough public transaction data for broad pricing tools to mean much here — pulling the actual closed comps from this specific 2005-2007 build window, rather than leaning on neighborhood-wide averages, is what separates a well-supported offer from a guess.
