Oakhurst Gardens is a small, older pocket of Jacksonville — 25 homes with a median build year of 1964 and a range that runs from 1928 to 1973. At that age, price here is driven less by a list figure and more by condition: what has been updated, what the roof and systems look like, and how the original footprint has been handled. Expect a wide spread between a renovated house and one that has been left largely as-built.
With so few homes and a median living area around 1,394 square feet, this is a thin, compact market. The 76% homestead share tells you most of these homes are held as primary residences rather than flipped or rented, which typically means fewer listings turn over at once. Buyers should be ready to move on the right house; sellers should price to condition and lean on comparable work done nearby rather than assuming a neighborhood-wide number applies to their home.
Figures in this note are as of July 12, 2026. The live market numbers elsewhere on this page update nightly and are newer.
The 60-Second Overview
Oakhurst Gardens is a compact enclave of mid-century and prewar homes in Duval County — small in count, modest in square footage, and dominated by owner-occupied houses, which keeps turnover low and condition the main variable in value.

Best for

Probably not for
- Buyers who need substantially more than the ~1,394-square-foot median living area

The Oakhurst Gardens buying strategy.
If we were buying in Oakhurst 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 Oakhurst Gardens.
An older, owner-held pocket
The housing stock here spans nearly half a century, from 1928 to 1973, with the midpoint at 1964. That means a mix of prewar construction and mid-century builds, and with a median living area of roughly 1,394 square feet, these are generally right-sized rather than sprawling homes. What you pay for depends heavily on how much of the original house has been touched — updated kitchens, baths, roofs, and mechanical systems separate one price tier from another far more than location alone.
At 76% homestead, this is a neighborhood people tend to hold. That stability limits how many homes come to market in any given stretch, so inventory is not deep. For a buyer, patience and readiness matter. For a seller, the small sample means each comparable sale carries real weight, and pricing to your home's actual condition beats leaning on a broad average.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Oakhurst Gardens. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
In a market this small and this age-driven, the number that matters is the one attached to a house in similar condition — not a neighborhood average. We read the actual comparables, weigh what updates a home does or doesn't have against its 1928-to-1973 vintage, and set expectations honestly on both sides. With only 25 homes and low turnover, timing and accurate condition-based pricing are where deals are won or lost, and that is where we spend our attention.
