Plaza Gate is a small pocket of Jacksonville housing stock — just 54 homes — assembled over multiple decades rather than in a single building cycle. The earliest homes on record date to 1969 and construction continued as late as 2010, with a median year built of 1985. That spread matters more than most single stats here: age of construction, level of updating, and lot placement will do more to set price than any blanket description of the community can.
Right now there are zero active listings in Plaza Gate, so there is no current asking-price benchmark to point to — anyone circling this community needs to work off recent closed activity rather than what is sitting on the market. With a homestead share of 38.9%, a real share of the housing stock here is held as non-owner-occupied property, which is worth factoring into how a given home has been maintained and how quickly it might come back on the market.
Figures in this note are as of July 15, 2026. The live market numbers elsewhere on this page update nightly and are newer.
The 60-Second Overview
Plaza Gate market snapshot (as of November 11, 2026): the median sale price is about $190K ($149 per sq ft over the trailing 12 months of closed sales), and a median 6 days on market for closed sales.
Plaza Gate is a community of 54 homes in Jacksonville, Duval County, built between 1969 and 2010 (median 1985.0), with a median living area of about 1,256 square feet. 39% of parcels are homesteaded, the owner-occupancy proxy in the Florida DOR assessment roll (2025 roll, public records).
Plaza Gate is a small, established Jacksonville community of 54 homes built across a wide construction window — 1969 to 2010 — with a median living area of 1,256 square feet, the kind of scale and vintage spread that rewards evaluating homes individually rather than by a single neighborhood profile.

Who Plaza Gate is best for.
Best for
- Buyers targeting a smaller Duval community with a wide construction-vintage range, 1969 to 2010, and comfortable pricing off closed activity rather than current listings.
- Buyers focused on lot and location over maximizing square footage, given a median living area of 1,256 square feet.
- Investors or buyers watching for non-owner-occupied turnover, given a homestead share of 38.9%.
Probably not for
- Buyers who need to compare several active listings side by side today — there are currently zero active listings in Plaza Gate.
- Buyers set on newer construction only — homes here date back as far as 1969.
- Buyers who need a large floor plan — median living area here runs 1,256 square feet, on the smaller side.

The Plaza Gate buying strategy.
If we were buying in Plaza Gate 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 Plaza Gate.
A compact footprint with no single build era
With only 54 homes on record, Plaza Gate is one of the smaller named communities tracked in Duval County — small enough that individual home condition and lot carry more weight in pricing than broader neighborhood trends. Construction runs from 1969 through 2010, spanning several decades, with a median year built of 1985. That mix means a buyer touring Plaza Gate can expect to see earlier-era homes sitting near later infill construction, each carrying a different maintenance and systems profile.
Median living area sits at 1,256 square feet, modest by move-up standards, which keeps this community most relevant to buyers prioritizing lot, location, or price point over square footage. There are no active listings in Plaza Gate at the moment, and with a homestead share of 38.9%, a meaningful portion of the housing stock here turns over as investment or non-owner-occupied property rather than primary residences — something to factor into timeline expectations for anyone hoping to buy here.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Plaza Gate. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
Plaza Gate does not have a steady drumbeat of new listings or a posted price range to lean on — with zero homes active right now, the market here has to be read off scattered closed sales and off-market knowledge rather than a live comp set. Momentum's Northeast Florida agents track small Duval communities like this one directly, so when something in Plaza Gate does come up, we can move on it before it is broadly marketed rather than starting the research from zero.
