As of October 2026, North Shore Gardens in Jacksonville, FL has 2 homes for sale. As of October 2026, the MLS records 37 closed sales in North Shore Gardens in Jacksonville, FL since 2001, the most recent in August 2024. Recorded prices since 2024 ran from $140,000 to $250,000 (median $173,000), on homes of 704 to 1,290 sq ft. Across Jacksonville as a whole, 8,268 homes closed in the last 12 months at a median of $311,134, 43 median days on market, with 2,422 homes for sale today. At that median and Duval County's FY2025-26 rate of 17.86 mills, annual property tax runs about $3,090 ($2,360 with the full homestead exemption).
North Shore Gardens is a 366-home pocket of Jacksonville where construction era does more to set value than any single neighborhood-wide trend. Homes here range from a 1908 build up through one finished in 2024, with a median year built of 1940.5 -- meaning renovation history and system updates matter as much as square footage when comparing two houses on the same street.
Right now the market here is thin: just 2 active listings and zero closings recorded in the current window. That is not a read on desirability -- it is a read on volume. With so few transactions to anchor a price, buyers and sellers both need house-by-house comps rather than a community-wide benchmark, and patience matters more than speed.
The 60-Second Overview
North Shore Gardens is a 366-home community in Jacksonville, Duval County, where construction spans from 1908 to 2024 -- a range wide enough that no two blocks necessarily read the same way, and where roughly 32% of homes carry a homestead exemption.

Who North Shore Gardens is best for.
Best for
- A buyer looking for an individual, character-driven home rather than a uniform subdivision product.
- A buyer comfortable doing house-by-house due diligence on age and condition given the 1908-to-2024 build range.
- A buyer or investor prepared to move without a deep bench of recent comps to lean on.
Probably not for
- A buyer who wants a community with a clubhouse, pool, or other shared amenities -- none are identified here.
- A buyer who needs several comparable recent sales to feel confident in a price -- the current window shows zero closings.
- A buyer set on new construction throughout the neighborhood -- the median build year of 1940.5 skews the stock older.

The North Shore Gardens buying strategy.
If we were buying in North Shore Gardens 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 North Shore Gardens.
The Long View on North Shore Gardens
With 366 homes carrying build dates from 1908 through 2024 and a median year built of 1940.5, North Shore Gardens is less a single housing product than a layered one. A median living area of roughly 1,214.5 square feet suggests the core of the stock leans toward smaller, older footprints, though homes built as recently as 2024 exist alongside them -- worth confirming house by house rather than assuming a typical size.
Current MLS listings show no identified community amenities, so this is not a club-and-pool community -- whatever draws a buyer here is the location and the housing stock itself, not shared recreational infrastructure. Roughly 32% of homes carry a homestead exemption, a property-tax status tied to primary-residence filings; the remaining properties are not filed that way, which can include recent purchases, rentals, or second homes. Either way, it's another reason to evaluate a specific address on its own record rather than a neighborhood average.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in North Shore Gardens. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
In a community with only 2 active listings and zero closings in the current window, there isn't enough transaction volume for a generic valuation tool to get it right. Momentum's approach is to pull the specific comps that exist -- house by house, build year by build year -- rather than lean on a neighborhood-wide average that a build range running from 1908 to 2024 makes unreliable on its own.
