Jon's Read · written July 14, 2026

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.

Figures in this note are as of July 14, 2026. The live market numbers elsewhere on this page update nightly and are newer.

Shirley Oaks right now

🟡 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 November 11, 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.

realMLS (Northeast Florida) sales records identify 116 homes in Shirley Oaks that have changed hands since 2003, built between 2002 and 2005 (median 2004), with a median living area of about 2,054 sq ft and a typical 4-bedroom, 2-bath layout; 96% are single-family homes. Source: realMLS (Northeast Florida) closed-sale history compiled by Momentum Research; counts reflect homes with a recorded MLS sale, not every home in the community.

County records show 13 qualified sales in Shirley Oaks across 2024–2025 (12 in 2024, 1 in 2025), median $357,900 — the last recorded sale per parcel on the Florida DOR 2025 assessment roll, independent of the MLS.

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.

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.

If we were buying in Shirley Oaks today, this is the order of operations we would run for our clients.

1

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.

2

Match the home to real comps. Recent sales of similar condition and lot, not the asking price, tell you what a home is worth.

3

Move deliberately, not desperately. Neither side has a decisive edge, so a well-prepared, fairly-priced offer wins without overpaying.

4

Line up financing and inspection early. A pre-approval and an inspection plan let you act fast and negotiate from evidence.

5

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.

Best Buy
Buyers who want an established, fully built-out community rather than an active construction zone.
Biggest Risk
A 20-year age spread means condition and system age vary widely from one address to the next.
Sweet Spot
Buyers targeting homes with a median 2,337 square feet of living space.
Avoid If
You want new construction or a home built within the last few years — Shirley Oaks tops out at 2022 and skews to a 2004 median build year.

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.

    Nassau committee proposes data center zoning district with no county incentives

    A draft county report released Oct. 21 rejects both a ban and the status quo, proposing a new industrial park-data center zoning district, no county incentives or tax abatements, and disclosure of water and power needs. Siting would prioritize proximity to 500-kilovolt transmission lines, and developers would pay infrastructure costs. Workshops run Oct. 26 and Nov. 9, with a Planning and Zoning hearing Dec. 1 and commission hearings Dec. 14 and Jan. 25 under a June moratorium.

    What it may mean for the marketThe rules will determine where large power-and-water-intensive industrial users can locate in western Nassau, shaping future land use and utility demand. The site is about 12 miles north of Shirley Oaks.

    Northeast Florida home sales dip in September as inventory tightens

    Closed sales across the six-county Northeast Florida Association of Realtors area fell 7.7% year over year to 1,608, with the median price at $398,566, up 2.8%.

    What it may mean for the marketLower inventory with softer sales volume points to a thinner supply of listings across all four counties, with Clay the only one of the four showing a year-over-year price decline. The site is about 10 miles south of Shirley Oaks.

    FSCJ opens large automated semiconductor training lab, a first for Florida

    Florida State College at Jacksonville has built a fully automated lab it describes as the first of its kind in Florida for its size.

    JEA advances about $690 million in infrastructure projects including Fulton Cut transmission line raise near JAXPORT

    JEA is moving forward with three water reclamation projects (Blacks Ford in northwest St. Johns County, over $220 million; near Jacksonville International Airport, about $193 million; East Arlington, just under $165 million) and the $117 million Fulton Cut transmission line clearance over the St. Johns River near Blount Island. Fulton Cut, shared with JAXPORT and the city, is expected to finish in summer 2027 and all four projects by 2030.

    What it may mean for the marketRaised power lines support larger ship access to port terminals, and new reclamation capacity supports growth in surrounding areas. The site is about 8 miles southeast of Shirley Oaks.
