As of September 2026, the MLS records 85 closed sales in Paddle Creek in Jacksonville, FL since 2001, the most recent in June 2026. Recorded prices since 2024 ran from $260,000 to $305,000 (median $295,000), on homes of 1,504 to 1,992 sq ft. Across Jacksonville as a whole, 8,811 homes closed in the last 12 months at a median of $310,000, 44 median days on market, with 2,375 homes for sale today. At that median and Duval County's FY2025-26 rate of 17.86 mills, annual property tax runs about $5,270 ($4,540 with the full homestead exemption).
Paddle Creek is a fixed, small-footprint community in Duval County — 64 homes total, built between 1986 and 2000 with a median year built of 1988. Right now there are zero active listings and only 2 closings in the tracked window, which tells you plainly this market doesn't turn over often; when a home here does list, there's rarely a second one down the street to compare it against.
The homestead exemption share sits at 79.7%, well above what you'd see in a market with heavy investor or short-term ownership. That kind of ownership stability tends to keep inventory tight and listings scarce — good news if you're selling into a market where your home is genuinely one of very few options, but it means buyers need to be ready to act the moment something appears rather than waiting to negotiate.
The 60-Second Overview
Paddle Creek is a compact, established Jacksonville neighborhood of 64 homes built between 1986 and 2000 (median year built 1988), with no community amenities identified from current MLS records — this reads as straightforward housing stock rather than an amenity-driven development.

Who Paddle Creek is best for.
Best for
- Buyers targeting a specific, small Duval County pocket who are prepared to move quickly the moment a home lists.
- Move-up or downsizing buyers looking for a single-family home in the 2,059-square-foot range, built between 1986 and 2000.
- Buyers comfortable working with an agent to track off-market and early-listing opportunities rather than browsing an open MLS search.
Probably not for
- Buyers who need multiple active listings to compare before committing — there are none right now.
- Investors seeking a rental-heavy or high-turnover community — a 79.7% homestead share suggests otherwise.
- Buyers on a tight purchase timeline who can't wait for the right listing to surface in a 64-home community.

The Paddle Creek buying strategy.
If we were buying in Paddle Creek 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 Paddle Creek.
Small Footprint, Tight Turnover
At 64 homes, Paddle Creek is one of the smaller established communities in Duval County. Homes were built between 1986 and 2000, with a median year built of 1988 and median living space of 2,059 square feet — consistent, mid-size single-family stock rather than a mix of eras or a wide range of home sizes.
The current market picture is thin by design: zero active listings and only 2 closings in the recent window. Combined with a 79.7% homestead exemption share, this points to a neighborhood where most owners are staying put rather than cycling through as investment or rental property. For anyone tracking this community, the takeaway is less about comparable pricing and more about scarcity — there simply isn't much inventory to study.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Paddle Creek. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
In a community with zero active listings and only 2 recent closings, there's no meaningful public comparable set to lean on — you need an agent who is watching Paddle Creek directly, not just running a search. Momentum tracks this pocket of Duval County so that when one of these 64 homes does come up, whether on or off market, our clients hear about it early enough to act instead of learning about it after it's under contract.
