Meadow Lake
Homes for Sale in Jacksonville, FL
True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.
As of September 2026, the MLS records 15 closed sales in Meadow Lake in Jacksonville, FL since 2003, the most recent in March 2023. Across Jacksonville as a whole, 8,846 homes closed in the last 12 months at a median of $305,375, 44 median days on market, with 2,385 homes for sale today. At that median and Duval County's FY2025-26 rate of 17.86 mills, annual property tax runs about $5,460 ($4,720 with the full homestead exemption).
Meadow Lake is a compact, built-out community of 117 homes constructed between 1988 and 1995, with a median build year of 1990. Price here is driven far more by condition and updates than by square footage, because the housing stock is tightly clustered in age and size — the median living area is about 1,693 square feet. A renovated home and an original one on the same street can sit well apart on price, so expect a wide spread with condition doing most of the work.
With just over two-thirds of homes homesteaded, this is a lived-in, owner-occupied community rather than an investor churn market. That tends to mean turnover is steady but not frantic, and inventory is limited by the small size of the neighborhood. For buyers, patience and readiness to move on the right listing matter; for sellers, presentation and updates are the levers you actually control.
The 60-Second Overview
Meadow Lake is a small, established Jacksonville neighborhood in Duval County where the homes share a common early-1990s vintage and a modest, consistent footprint — the kind of place where individual condition, not the block, sets the tone.

- Value-minded buyers open to a project home who want to build sweat equity through updates

Probably not for

- Investors looking for a high-volume rental churn market

The Meadow Lake buying strategy.
If we were buying in Meadow Lake 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 Meadow Lake.
A condition-driven resale market
Because nearly every home dates to a five-year window around 1990, buyers are effectively shopping the same bones over and over. The differences that matter are mechanical and cosmetic: roof age, HVAC, kitchens and baths, flooring, and whether prior owners updated or left things original. That homogeneity makes comparison shopping straightforward, but it also means the median price masks a real gap between move-in-ready and project homes.
The high homestead share signals a stable, owner-occupied core with fewer rentals in the mix. For a buyer, that generally translates to homes that have been maintained rather than run as investments. For a seller, it means your competition is other individual owners — so the updated home tends to stand out, and deferred maintenance gets priced accordingly.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Meadow Lake. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
