Starshire
Homes for Sale in Jacksonville, FL
True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.
Starshire is a compact, 42-home community in Duval County, built out between 1975 and 1998, with a median year built of 1977 — the bulk of the inventory sits on the older edge of that range. Median living space runs 2,466 square feet, generous for the era, and no community amenities are identified in current MLS listings, so this reads as a straightforward subdivision rather than an HOA-amenity package.
There are no closings recorded in the current window, which means recent comparable sales data is thin. Combined with a 76.2% homestead share, this looks like a community with long-tenured, owner-occupied homes and limited turnover — a market where inventory moves slowly rather than in a rush of competing offers, and where pricing has to be built from tax roll and older sale history rather than a stream of fresh closings.
The 60-Second Overview
Starshire's 42 homes were built between 1975 and 1998, with a median year built of 1977 and median living space of 2,466 square feet — a mature, established pocket of Duval County rather than a newer or amenity-driven subdivision.

The Starshire buying strategy.
If we were buying in Starshire 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 Starshire.
A small, steady pocket of Duval County
With only 42 homes total, Starshire is a small, fixed inventory — there is no phased new construction adding supply over time. The build-out spans 1975 to 1998, with a median year built of 1977, so most homes carry the character of the community's earliest years. Median living space of 2,466 square feet is on the larger side for homes of that age, which matters more here than any amenity package, since current MLS listings show none identified.
The homestead share sits at 76.2%, pointing to a community where most owners have claimed the property as their primary residence rather than holding it as a rental or investment. That, paired with zero recorded closings in the current window, means there is little fresh transaction data to lean on — buyers and sellers here are working from a thinner, older data set than in higher-turnover Duval communities.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Starshire. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
With no closings recorded in Starshire's current window, pricing this community correctly means going beyond the MLS — pulling tax roll history, prior sales, and homestead status across all 42 homes to build a real picture of value. That is the kind of groundwork Momentum does before a listing goes live or an offer goes in, rather than pricing off a handful of stale comps.
