Homes for Sale in Jacksonville, FL
True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.
As of September 2026, the MLS records 24 closed sales in Center Park in Jacksonville, FL since 2001, the most recent in May 2025. Across Jacksonville as a whole, 8,811 homes closed in the last 12 months at a median of $310,000, 44 median days on market, with 2,375 homes for sale today. At that median and Duval County's FY2025-26 rate of 17.86 mills, annual property tax runs about $5,540 ($4,800 with the full homestead exemption).
Center Park is a small pocket of about 33 homes in Jacksonville, and price here is driven almost entirely by condition rather than square footage. With a median build year of 1961 and a median around 1,307 sq ft, this is older, modestly sized housing stock where a renovated interior and an updated roof or HVAC will separate one listing from the next far more than any headline number.
The homestead share sits at roughly 46%, meaning a meaningful slice of these homes are held as something other than owner-occupied. For a buyer, that tells you to underwrite each property on its own merits and expect a wide spread in condition. For a seller, it means the well-maintained, move-in-ready home stands out in a way it might not in a newer, more uniform community.
The 60-Second Overview
Center Park is a compact, early-1960s neighborhood in Duval County where the housing is older and right-sized rather than sprawling. It rewards buyers who value location and bones over new construction and finishes.

The Center Park buying strategy.
If we were buying in Center Park 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 Center Park.
An older, small-footprint pocket
The build range runs from 1961 to 2003, but with the median sitting at the front of that window, most of what trades here is genuinely mid-century construction. Expect the trade-offs that come with it: original layouts, smaller rooms, and mechanical systems that may or may not have been updated. The upside is that at roughly 1,307 sq ft median, these are manageable homes to maintain and to renovate one project at a time.
Because it is a small community of only 33 homes, inventory is thin and every closing carries weight. That cuts both ways — comparable sales can be scarce, so pricing leans heavily on the specific condition and updates of the individual property rather than a deep bench of recent trades.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Center Park. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
