Over the 12 months ending 2026-10-01, 4 recorded sales closed at a median of $340,500, $171 per square foot, a median 86 days on market, sellers accepting 92% of original asking. Homes listed or recently sold were built 2019–2020; 4 of 4 report an HOA (median $36/mo); none of the 4 geocoded homes sit in a FEMA special flood hazard zone (median elevation 17 ft). At the median price and Duval County's FY2025-26 rate of 17.86 mills, annual property tax runs about $6,080 ($5,350 with the full homestead exemption).

Cherry Lakes is a tight, newer-construction pocket in Jacksonville: about 70 homes, all built in a narrow 2019 to 2020 window, with a median living area near 2,200 square feet. When the housing stock is this uniform, price is driven less by age or vintage and more by condition, lot position, and finish level. Two homes here can differ mostly by how they have been kept, not by how old they are.
Just under 70 percent of homes carry a homestead exemption, which points to a community held largely by owner-occupants rather than short-term turnover. For a seller, that means comparables are meaningful and the pool of well-maintained homes is real. For a buyer, expect to compete for the cleanest listings and to underwrite on condition rather than hoping to find a distressed bargain in a subdivision this new and this small.

Cherry Lakes is a community of 70 homes in Jacksonville, Duval County, built between 2019 and 2020 (median 2019.0), with a median living area of about 2,200 square feet. 69% of parcels are homesteaded, the owner-occupancy proxy in the Florida DOR assessment roll (2025 roll, public records).
Cherry Lakes is a compact, single-vintage community in Duval County where nearly every home came out of the same short build cycle, so the differences that matter are upkeep, layout, and lot rather than architecture or era.

The Cherry Lakes buying strategy.
If we were buying in Cherry Lakes 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 Cherry Lakes.
A small, uniform subdivision
With roughly 70 homes built in 2019 and 2020 and a median size around 2,200 square feet, Cherry Lakes reads as a coherent, modern subdivision rather than a mixed-vintage neighborhood. That uniformity cuts both ways: it makes value easier to gauge because comparables are genuinely comparable, but it also means inventory is thin and a single listing can shift the picture.
Because everything is newer, the usual major-systems questions that dominate older Jacksonville neighborhoods are less pressing here. The evaluation shifts to how each home has been maintained and what has been done to it since delivery. In a market this narrow, patience matters more than volume — the right home may not always be on the market when you are ready.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Cherry Lakes. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
