Camellia Place
Homes for Sale in Jacksonville, FL
True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.
Camellia Place is a small pocket of just 21 homes, and the story here is size and substance. A median living area of roughly 3,759 square feet puts these homes well above what most Jacksonville subdivisions offer, so price is driven mostly by scale, condition, and finish rather than by a tight comp set. With a build range spanning 1997 to 2023 and a median year built of 2004, you are looking at a mix of established homes and newer construction, which means condition and updates will swing values more than the address alone.
This is a thin, low-turnover market. A homestead share above 90 percent tells you most owners live here and are not quick to sell, so inventory is scarce and each listing carries weight. For sellers, that scarcity is leverage if the home shows well. For buyers, patience matters more than aggression; the right home may not appear on your timeline, and when it does, its price will hinge on how it compares in condition to the last one that closed.
Figures in this note are as of July 12, 2026. The live market numbers elsewhere on this page update nightly and are newer.
The 60-Second Overview
Camellia Place is a compact enclave of larger homes in Jacksonville's Duval County, where a wide build span and a small home count make each sale its own negotiation rather than a market-wide trend.
Pre-construction details are compiled from public records, builder announcements and builder listings, and are subject to change without notice; figures are deemed reliable but not guaranteed. Momentum Research figures are our own analysis. This page describes homes, pricing and community attributes, not residents.
Who Camellia Place is best for.
Best for
- Buyers prioritizing large living space over a wide selection of listings
- Long-hold owners comfortable waiting for the right home to surface
- Sellers with a well-maintained or updated home ready to leverage scarce inventory
Probably not for
- Buyers on a tight timeline who need to close within a fixed window
- Buyers wanting many comparable homes to shop and negotiate against
- Owners expecting frequent turnover or a highly liquid resale market

The Camellia Place buying strategy.
If we were buying in Camellia Place 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 Camellia Place.
A small pool of large homes
The defining trait here is space. With a median living area near 3,759 square feet, these are substantial homes, and the price spread within the community tends to be condition-driven: a well-maintained or updated home will command far more than one that has been left alone since it was built. Because the build range runs from 1997 to 2023, two homes of similar footprint can sit at very different points depending on their era and how they have been kept.
At only 21 homes, comps are limited and every closing shifts the picture. That thinness cuts both ways. It can protect value when demand outstrips the trickle of listings, but it also makes pricing an exercise in judgment rather than formula. Expect appraisals and offers to lean heavily on the most recent nearby sale, and be prepared to make the case for a home's condition on its own merits.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Camellia Place. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
