As of November 2026, the MLS records 106 closed sales in Laurel Hills in Jacksonville, FL since 2011, the most recent in January 2026. Recorded prices since 2024 ran from $158,000 to $330,000 (median $250,000), on homes of 1,164 to 2,000 sq ft. Across Jacksonville as a whole, 12,696 homes closed in the last 12 months at a median of $304,990, 42 median days on market, with 4,127 homes for sale today. At that median and Duval County's FY2025-26 rate of 17.86 mills, annual property tax runs about $4,470 ($3,730 with the full homestead exemption).
Laurel Hills prices on age and size more than anything else. The median home here was built in 1976, and living space runs a modest 1,548 square feet at a median price per square foot of $150.83 -- putting the community's $251,000 median price toward the value end of the Jacksonville market. With homes spanning original 1956 construction through 2019 builds, condition and updates do a lot of the work in where an individual listing lands relative to that median.
The market posture right now is soft. Median days on market sits at 48, and the median price is down 3.5% year over year -- a market heat score of 17 confirms this is not a fast-moving corner of Duval County. That is a real shift from the long arc: prices here are still up 239% since 2012, so sellers with longer hold times are working from a position of strength even as the current cycle cools. For buyers, the combination of soft pricing and slow pace means more room to negotiate on condition and terms than in hotter Jacksonville submarkets.

The 60-Second Overview

Who Laurel Hills is best for.
Best for
- Buyers working with a budget near the $251,000 median who want more square footage per dollar than newer Jacksonville neighborhoods offer.
- Owner-occupants comfortable with an older housing stock (median build year 1976) and willing to budget for updates.
- Patient buyers who can use the current slower, 48-day market pace to negotiate on price or terms.
Probably not for
- Buyers who need brand-new construction; the housing stock here has a median build year of 1976 and none was built after 2019.
- Buyers who want built-in community amenities; none are identified in current MLS listings for Laurel Hills.
- Sellers who need a fast sale at top-of-market pricing; the current heat score and negative year-over-year trend argue against that.

The Laurel Hills buying strategy.
If we were buying in Laurel 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 Laurel Hills.
An established, value-priced pocket of Duval County
Laurel Hills' housing stock is what defines it: 317 homes with a median build year of 1976, ranging from 1956 originals to homes finished as late as 2019. At a median 1,548 square feet, these are modest-footprint homes, and the median price per square foot of $150.83 keeps the community priced well below newer-construction pockets of Jacksonville. About three out of four homes here carry a homestead exemption, pointing to a market where owner-occupied purchases outnumber investor activity.
On pace, Laurel Hills is currently slow: a market heat score of 17 and a median 48 days on market both point to a buyer's market right now, reinforced by a 3.5% year-over-year price pullback. Zoom out, though, and the picture changes -- values here are up 239% since 2012, underscoring that the neighborhood's long-run trajectory has been strongly positive even through short-term softness. No community amenities are identified in current MLS listings for Laurel Hills, so buyers should treat this as an in-town value play built on land and structure rather than shared recreational features.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Laurel Hills. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
In a market moving at a 48-day pace with prices down 3.5% year over year, precise pricing matters more than usual. Momentum's agents pull comps that account for the wide range of build years and renovation levels across Laurel Hills' 317 homes, so sellers price to the current cooling trend instead of last year's numbers, and buyers can tell when a listing's price reflects real updates versus original finishes.
