Cathedral Oaks is a small Duval County pocket of 74 homes in Jacksonville, and the number that does the most work here is the build-year spread: 1942 through 2023, with a median year built of 1979. That range means two buyers can be shopping the same community and looking at completely different products - a mid-century home and a recent build sitting a few streets apart. At a median price of $759,500 and median $226.64 per square foot, condition and vintage are driving price more than any single community-wide feature.
Right now there are zero active listings, against a median 57 days on market over the trailing 6-month closings window. That combination - no current inventory, but a market that wasn't moving instantly even when homes were listed - tells you Cathedral Oaks isn't a fast-churn community. It's thin. For a buyer, that means watching closely and being ready to act the moment something surfaces rather than expecting a shopping list of options. For a seller, it means less competing inventory to be measured against, which is real leverage if the home is priced and presented well.
The 60-Second Overview
Cathedral Oaks market snapshot (as of July 14, 2026): the median sale price is about $760K ($227 per sq ft over the trailing 12 months of closed sales), and a median 57 days on market for closed sales.
Cathedral Oaks is a community of 74 homes in Jacksonville, Duval County, built between 1942 and 2023 (median 1979.0), with a median living area of about 3,480 square feet. 87% of parcels are homesteaded, the owner-occupancy proxy in the Florida DOR assessment roll (2025 roll, public records).
Cathedral Oaks is a 74-home community in Jacksonville, Duval County, with construction spanning 1942 to 2023 and a median build year of 1979 - a genuine mix of older and newer homes rather than a single-era subdivision. At a median price of $759,500 and median living space of 3,480.5 square feet, it sits at the larger, higher end of what a typical Northeast Florida community offers.

Who Cathedral Oaks is best for.
Best for
- Buyers targeting a home near the $759,500 median who want size (median 3,480.5 square feet) over a brand-new build
- Buyers comfortable evaluating homes across a wide range of build years, from 1942 to 2023, rather than one uniform product
- Buyers who can wait out a thin market and move quickly once a listing appears
Probably not for
- Buyers who need to choose from several active listings today - there are currently none
- Buyers on a strict, short purchase timeline who can't work around a median 57-day market
- Buyers seeking a single consistent architectural style or build era across the whole community

The Cathedral Oaks buying strategy.
If we were buying in Cathedral Oaks 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 Cathedral Oaks.
A Community Defined by Build Era, Not Uniformity
With homes dating from 1942 to 2023 and a median build year of 1979, Cathedral Oaks doesn't behave like a tract community where every home shares a floor plan and an appraisal comp is easy to find. Median living space runs 3,480.5 square feet, which is large by most standards, but the spread in ages means two homes of similar size can differ sharply in mechanicals, layout, and finish level. That's the real driver behind the $226.64 median price per square foot - it's an average across very different homes, not a tight, predictable band.
Homestead-exemption filings, a proxy for primary-residence ownership, cover 86.8% of the 74 homes here, which points to a market where most owners are living in the home rather than holding it as a rental or investment. Combined with zero active listings and a median 57 days on market over the past 6 months, this reads as a community where turnover is naturally slow - homes don't come up often, and when they do, they don't necessarily move overnight.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Cathedral Oaks. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
A community with zero active listings and only 74 homes total isn't one you can shop by browsing the portal - it's one you track. Momentum's Northeast Florida agents watch Cathedral Oaks for what isn't yet public: pre-list conversations, off-market interest, and the timing needed to move within a 57-day median market rather than losing a rare listing to someone who saw it first.
