The Homes & Style
Coopers Meadow is a completed Taylor Morrison community of 120 single-story homes in Northwest Jacksonville. As of June 2026 the builder was still selling its last finished quick move-in homes from 284,990 to 367,990 dollars, which keeps it among the more attainable new-construction addresses in Duval County.
The product is uniform by design: one-story plans up to about 2,106 square feet, with up to four bedrooms and three baths. Single-level living is the through-line, which fits first-time buyers, households that want no stairs, and anyone working the I-295 and I-95 corridors who values a short, predictable commute over square footage.
Because every home is finished, there is no base-versus-configured price gap to manage and no design-center upcharges to model. What you walk through is what you close on. That removes the single biggest trap of buying new construction from dirt, where the sign price is only a starting point before lot premiums and options.
With construction complete since September 2024, the builder inventory is finite. Once the remaining quick move-ins clear, resale sets the market on its own, and in a 120-home community resale comps form fast. As original buyers relocate, a handful of sales can reset the pricing picture quickly, so watch the closed comps closely at this scale.
On lots, the homes that back to the recreation acreage and green space carry the quiet premium here; corner lots add yard but also sidewalk frontage. One housekeeping note that matters for research: MLS entries frequently pluralize the community as Coopers Meadows with an s, so search both spellings or you will miss listings and comps.
Living Here
The amenity set is scaled to 120 homes and is more thoughtful than the usual checkbox. Instead of a single pool, Coopers Meadow threads about 7.5 acres of walkable green space through the footprint, anchored by a dog park, a playground, and a monarch butterfly garden that gives the open space an actual purpose. There is no clubhouse or community pool, which is part of why the carrying cost stays low.
Everyday shopping runs the Garden Street and Commonwealth corridors for groceries and errands, with River City Marketplace and the Westside retail centers both reachable in under twenty minutes by way of I-295. The location trades a marquee town-center address for quick beltway access in every direction, which is the practical draw of this pocket of Northwest Jacksonville.
The honest read on a small association: a 120-home HOA runs on a small budget base, so the reserve study and dues adequacy matter more here than they would in a thousand-home master plan. Read the documents and confirm the current fee and what it covers before you commit. Taylor Morrison reports no CDD, which simplifies the monthly math versus most newer Duval communities, but the HOA amount was not published at the time of writing.
The contrarian value here is condition without construction. Buyers chase active sales offices and overlook finished neighborhoods, yet at Coopers Meadow you get new-construction condition with none of the construction-phase living, often at no premium for the privilege.
Before You Offer
Builder warranty and a real inspection. On a finished builder home, confirm what transfers: the balance of the structural warranty, any workmanship coverage, and the manufacturer warranties on the roof, HVAC, and appliances. New does not mean flawless, so still order an independent inspection and, on a quick move-in that sat unoccupied, a fresh systems check.
Pin down the HOA, and confirm there is no CDD. Taylor Morrison reports no Community Development District here, which is a meaningful monthly advantage over most newer Duval communities, but verify it in writing for your address. Get the current HOA dues, what they cover, and the association budget and reserve study, since a 120-home association has a thin budget base.
Pull flood before you write. Jacksonville sees coastal, river, and creek flooding, and pockets near the St. Johns River tributaries can sit in higher-risk zones. The city participates in the FEMA Community Rating System at class 6, which earns flood-insurance discounts of about 10 percent for homes outside a special flood hazard area and about 20 percent for homes inside one. Pull the FEMA flood designation for the exact Coopers Meadow address, because two homes nearby can fall in different zones, and get a bindable flood and homeowners quote during your inspection period.
Read comps inside this small community, both spellings. In a 120-home neighborhood a few sales move the market, so anchor your offer to the freshest in-community closings and search both Coopers Meadow and Coopers Meadows. While selection lasts, weigh a finished builder quick move-in against an early resale that may already hold a better green-space lot.
Budget the tax reset and internet. Duval County total millage runs roughly 17.9 to 18.5 mills depending on the taxing district, and the Florida homestead exemption for 2026 is 51,411 dollars for those who qualify, with a March 1 filing deadline. Plan for the post-sale reset, when the prior owner's Save Our Homes cap ends and the assessed value resets to the new just value, so your second-year bill is often higher than the seller's current one. The metro is served by Xfinity (Comcast) almost everywhere and AT&T with fiber to a growing share of homes; confirm fiber at the specific address if working from home matters.
Comparisons
The honest way to place Coopers Meadow is against the other attainable Northwest Jacksonville communities a buyer is realistically weighing. Each trades something different.
Copes Landing is the scale play a few minutes west: a D.R. Horton production community of roughly 838 planned homes with a full amenity campus, including a pool and fitness center. It offers more amenity for the money but comes with years of active buildout and builder competition on resale. Coopers Meadow trades that campus for completion, no CDD, and quiet streets today.
Saddle Oaks and Kings Preserve are the other nearby production options in this price band. Against that field, Coopers Meadow's case is simple: it is finished, it is single-story throughout, and it carries no CDD, so the monthly math is clean. The case against it is that it has no pool or clubhouse and, at 120 homes, a thin amenity layer and a small association budget. If you want a resort-style amenity campus, the larger communities win; if you want a completed, low-carrying-cost address now, Coopers Meadow fits.
Who It Fits
Coopers Meadow is the right call for buyers who want new-construction condition without the construction, single-level living, and a low, simple carrying cost with no CDD. If a finished, quiet, attainable address minutes from the I-295 loop is the point, and you will read the small association's budget honestly and bring your own agent before the model-home visit, this community delivers what it promises.
It is the wrong call for buyers who want a resort-style amenity campus, a community pool and clubhouse, or a two-story home with more square footage. Households that want a deep amenity layer, or who need a large, liquid resale market, will find the 120-home scale and the modest amenity set limiting. And anyone set on building from dirt with a full menu of design-center choices will not find that here, because the community is already finished.
Fits
- Buyers who want finished new-construction condition with no construction-phase living
- Single-level living households and anyone who wants no stairs
- Commuters who value quick I-295 and I-95 access over a marquee address
- Buyers who want a low, simple carrying cost with no CDD
- First-time buyers seeking an attainable Duval price point
Not a fit
- Buyers who want a resort-style amenity campus, pool, and clubhouse
- Households that need a two-story home with more square footage
- Buyers who want a large, highly liquid resale market
- Anyone set on building from dirt with full design-center choices
- Buyers who will not read a small association's budget and reserves
