Roland Heights prices track an older housing stock rather than new construction: the median home was built in 1959, inside a build range spanning 1930 to 2024, and typical living space runs about 1,328 square feet. With a median price of $195,000 and a median of $174 per square foot, condition and age do a lot of the pricing work here — buyers should expect variation between original and updated homes rather than a tight, predictable price band.
This snapshot reflects closings from a trailing 3-month window, and just 2 homes are active against 459 homes in the community, so read any single data point here as directional rather than exact. Prices are down 25.7% year over year but remain up 251% since 2012, homes are moving in roughly 22 days, and six months of supply puts this in balanced territory — not a market tilted hard toward buyers or sellers. For a seller, that argues for pricing to the comparable data on hand rather than chasing last year's number; for a buyer, it argues for moving deliberately once a home that fits shows up, since so few are on the market at once.
Figures in this note are as of July 14, 2026. The live market numbers elsewhere on this page update nightly and are newer.

🟡 Balanced market. 6.0 months of supply and 0% of the inventory already under contract put buyers and sellers on roughly even footing.Why it matters: months of supply is how long today's inventory would last at today's sales pace; under-contract share is the portion of homes for sale that already have a buyer.Momentum Research analysis of realMLS records, as of October 23, 2026.

The 60-Second Overview
Roland Heights is a small, established Jacksonville community in Duval County where inventory turns over slowly, sitting at a market heat score of 40, and pricing is shaped more by each home's age and condition than by broad market trends.
Pre-construction details are compiled from public records, builder announcements and builder listings, and are subject to change without notice; figures are deemed reliable but not guaranteed. Momentum Research figures are our own analysis. This page describes homes, pricing and community attributes, not residents.

Who Roland Heights is best for.
Best for
- Buyers who want an established home and are comfortable evaluating condition and updates individually rather than relying on a deep comparable set.
- Sellers who can price patiently against a small, current closings window rather than last year's market.
- Buyers working with a longer timeline who can wait for the right home given only 2 active listings at a time.
Probably not for
- Buyers who need a large pool of active listings to compare before deciding.
- Anyone relying on an instant online value estimate instead of a hand-prepared comparable analysis.
- Buyers who need new-construction consistency rather than a mix of home ages spanning 1930 to 2024.

The Roland Heights buying strategy.
If we were buying in Roland Heights 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 Roland Heights.
The Numbers Behind Roland Heights
With a 3-month closings window feeding this snapshot and only 2 active listings against 459 total homes, Roland Heights does not generate enough transaction volume for tight statistical precision. Treat the median price of $195,000 and the $174 per-square-foot figure as a useful anchor, not a fixed number — condition, updates, and lot specifics will move any individual home away from that midpoint quickly in a market this thin.
The build range runs from 1930 to 2024, with a median year built of 1959, so buyers are looking at a mix of pre-war and mid-century homes alongside newer construction on scattered lots. About 65% of homes here carry a homestead exemption — a market with more owner-occupied properties than short-term rental turnover. No community amenities have been identified from current MLS listings, so any pool, clubhouse, or common-area claim should be verified property by property rather than assumed.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Roland Heights. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
We do not publish an algorithmic value estimate for Roland Heights, and a market like this is exactly why: with a 3-month closings window and only 2 active listings feeding the data, a computer-generated number would be guessing across a wide range of home ages (1930 to 2024) and conditions. Our agents build a hand-prepared valuation from the comparable sales that actually apply to a given home, which matters more here than in a community with deeper, more uniform inventory.
