Shirley Oaks is a Duval County community built out over two decades, from 2002 through 2022, with a median build year of 2004. That spread matters more than any single number: buyers are not choosing between identical houses, they are choosing between an early-2000s home and something finished closer to 2022, and condition and finish level will vary accordingly even within the same streets.
Our current read is built from closings tracked over the last two months, across 187 homes in the community. With roughly 69.5% of homes carrying a homestead exemption, this is a base of owner-occupied households rather than a market dominated by investor turnover, which tends to mean slower, steadier resale activity rather than frequent flips.

🟡 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 August 23, 2026. Confidence: Low (1 active and pending listings, 2 closed sales in 12 months).

The 60-Second Overview
Shirley Oaks sits in Jacksonville (Duval County) as an established, fully built-out community rather than an active new-construction phase, with a housing stock that spans two decades of construction.
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 Shirley Oaks is best for.
Best for
- Buyers who want an established, owner-occupied community with a settled resale pattern rather than heavy investor turnover.
- Buyers comfortable evaluating a home's age and system history as part of the purchase, given the 2002-2022 build range.
- Buyers whose target home size is in the range of the community's 2,337-square-foot median.
Probably not for
- Buyers set on new or near-new construction only.
- Buyers who want a uniform-age streetscape rather than a two-decade mix of build years.
- Buyers hoping to lean on an investor-resale or flip inventory pattern — the homestead share here points the other way.

The Shirley Oaks buying strategy.
If we were buying in Shirley Oaks 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 Shirley Oaks.
Two Decades of Construction, One Community
With homes dated as far back as 2002 and as recent as 2022, and a median build year of 2004, most of the 187 homes here are now approaching two decades old. Expect the usual maintenance milestones that come with that age — roofs, HVAC systems, and water heaters — to be a real part of due diligence on the older end of the range, while the newer-built homes will carry less of that history.
Median living area runs 2,337 square feet, which points to a community built for houses with real room to spread out rather than compact starter product. Combined with the 69.5% homestead share, the picture is one of a settled, owner-occupied base of houses rather than a churn-heavy rental or investment pocket.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Shirley Oaks. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
A community with a 20-year build span needs someone who will actually walk the age difference between an early-2000s home and a 2022 build with you, not just pull a comp sheet. We track Shirley Oaks closings directly and will tell you plainly where a specific home falls on that spectrum before you write an offer.
