County records show 30 qualified sales in Melissa Estates across 2024–2025 (23 in 2024, 7 in 2025), median $155,000 — the last recorded sale per parcel on the Florida DOR 2025 assessment roll, independent of the MLS.
Because this is an older, built-out resale community rather than a new-construction development, the market here is driven by individual unit condition, updates, and the HOA's financial health rather than by builder pricing or new-phase releases. Two similarly sized units can differ meaningfully in value depending on whether the roof, HVAC, and plumbing have been updated.
The location trades a longer drive to downtown Jacksonville for straightforward access to I-295 and the Cecil Commerce Center area, the former Cecil Field. This section of the westside has continued to see steady residential activity over the past several years as part of Duval County's broader growth.
