Caroline Hills is a newer-construction pocket in Duval County: all 58 homes here were built between 2016 and 2018, with a median year built of 2017. At a median of 2,136 square feet and $183.51 per square foot, pricing tracks condition and finish more than era, since nearly the entire community shares the same construction window.
Right now the market here is tight enough to change how you should approach it. There are zero active listings, the median days on market is just 6, and prices are up 7.4% over the trailing closings window, putting this pocket's market heat score at 76. With a homestead share of 67.2%, most owners appear to be living in these homes rather than renting them out, which further limits what comes up for sale. For a seller, that scarcity is leverage. For a buyer, it means having financing and a decision ready before a listing appears, not after.

Who Caroline Hills is best for.
Best for
- Buyers targeting a newer-construction home near the $399,000 median who are ready to act within days, not weeks, once a listing appears.
- Owner-occupants planning to homestead the property, consistent with the 67.2% homestead share already in place here.
- Buyers comfortable budgeting around $183.51 per square foot for a home built between 2016 and 2018, without needing to negotiate on price.
Probably not for
- Buyers who need to compare several active listings side by side before deciding, since there are currently none on the market.
- Investors looking for a large pool of turnover or rental inventory in a 58-home community where most owners appear to homestead.
- Buyers set on a broad range of construction eras or lot styles, since this community's homes were all built within the same narrow window.
Price History: What Homes Here Have Actually Sold For
Median sale price over the trailing 12 months ending July 14 of each year, from record-level realMLS closed sales. Same methodology as every appreciation figure on this page: the 2026 point ($399K) IS the median in the snapshot above, and the move from 2025 ($371K) IS the +7.4% one-year change.

The Caroline Hills buying strategy.
If we were buying in Caroline Hills 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 Caroline Hills.
A Narrow Build Window, a Narrower Market
Every home in Caroline Hills was built between 2016 and 2018, and the median living space sits at 2,136 square feet. That consistency means the usual comparisons buyers make between older systems and newer ones don't really apply here; the spread in this community comes down to finish level and upkeep, not vintage. At a $399,000 median price and $183.51 per square foot, the numbers reflect a community built to a fairly uniform standard rather than a mix of eras stacked on top of each other.
The market posture is the more striking part of the picture. Zero active listings and a median of 6 days on market, against 7.4% price growth over the trailing 3-month closings window, put the market heat score at 76. Combined with a 67.2% homestead share, this reads as a community where turnover is limited and owners are not in a hurry to sell. When something does list, it tends to move quickly, which changes the calculus for anyone trying to buy in: pre-approval and a clear budget matter more here than in a market with a deeper pool of active inventory.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Caroline Hills. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
