As of October 2026, the MLS records 55 closed sales in Mandarin Groves in Jacksonville, FL since 2002, the most recent in December 2025. Recorded prices since 2024 ran from $360,100 to $390,000 (median $385,000), on homes of 1,546 to 1,738 sq ft. Across Jacksonville as a whole, 7,643 homes closed in the last 12 months at a median of $315,000, 43 median days on market, with 4,168 homes for sale today. At that median and Duval County's FY2025-26 rate of 17.86 mills, annual property tax runs about $6,880 ($6,140 with the full homestead exemption).
Mandarin Groves is a compact pocket of 57 homes in Jacksonville's Duval County, built out over a single decade between 1984 and 1994, with a median build year of 1985. At a median 1,687 square feet, these are modest, unpretentious floor plans by design — the story here is less about size and more about how well each individual home has been maintained and updated since it was built.
Right now the market is thin: there are no active listings and only one closing recorded in the current window. That kind of scarcity means pricing gets set home-by-home rather than off a running list of comparables, and a homestead-exemption share of 64.9% points to a base of long-held, owner-occupied homes rather than a community cycling through frequent resales. For a buyer, that means patience and off-market legwork matter more than scrolling listings. For a seller, it means a well-positioned home can stand out simply because there is so little else on the market to compare it to.
Figures in this note are as of July 15, 2026. The live market numbers elsewhere on this page update nightly and are newer.
The 60-Second Overview
Mandarin Groves is a small, single-era Duval County community — every one of its 57 homes was built within a ten-year window starting in 1984 — with no shared amenity package showing up in current MLS listings, so value here is driven almost entirely by the condition and updates of each individual home rather than a community-wide feature set.
County records show 3 qualified sales in Mandarin Groves across 2024–2025 (1 in 2024, 2 in 2025), median $385,000 — the last recorded sale per parcel on the Florida DOR 2025 assessment roll, independent of the MLS.

Who Mandarin Groves is best for.
Best for
- Buyers targeting this specific Duval County location who can wait out a thin listing cycle for the right home to surface.
- Buyers comfortable evaluating an individual property's maintenance and update history rather than leaning on a community-wide standard.
- Buyers who do not need a shared amenity package and are budgeting purely for the home and lot.
Probably not for
- Buyers who need to close on a tight timeline and cannot wait for limited inventory to turn over.
- Buyers prioritizing shared amenities like a pool, clubhouse, or trail system as part of the purchase.
- Buyers who want a wide selection of active listings to compare before making an offer.

The Mandarin Groves buying strategy.
If we were buying in Mandarin Groves 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 Mandarin Groves.
A tight, thin Mandarin market
The 57 homes in Mandarin Groves were all built between 1984 and 1994, with a median build year of 1985 — meaning most of the housing stock is now due for major-system upkeep, from roofs to HVAC to water heaters, depending on how recently each home has been updated. Median living area sits at 1,687 square feet, a footprint that reads as starter-to-mid-size rather than estate scale. Buyers should expect to evaluate each property on its own maintenance history rather than assume a uniform condition across the community.
With zero active listings and just one closing in the current window, Mandarin Groves does not generate the steady stream of market data that larger, newer-build communities do. A 64.9% homestead-exemption share reinforces that read — this is a community of owner-held homes more than a rotating rental or investor stock, which helps explain why so few properties turn over at any given time. No shared community amenities are documented in current MLS listings, so anything a buyer values beyond the home itself — pools, trails, clubhouses — is not part of the package here.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Mandarin Groves. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
