Tubman Manor
Homes for Sale in Jacksonville, FL
True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.
Tubman Manor is a small, stable pocket of 78 homes built between 1974 and 1985, with a median living area around 1,322 square feet. At this age and size, price here is driven less by location premium and more by condition: what sets one home apart from another is the roof, the systems, the kitchen, and how much updating the current owner has actually done. Expect a wide spread between renovated and original homes, and price your expectations to the specific house rather than the neighborhood label.
With a homestead share of 62%, this is a predominantly owner-occupied enclave, which tends to mean steadier turnover and fewer distressed listings than a rental-heavy street. For a buyer, that means inventory is thin and you compete on readiness — financing lined up, inspection expectations realistic for a home from the mid-1970s. For a seller, it means the buyers who show up are comparing your finishes directly against the last updated house that sold, so deferred maintenance shows.

The 60-Second Overview
A compact Jacksonville subdivision of mid-1970s-to-mid-1980s homes on the smaller side of the size scale, held mostly by owner-occupants. This is a condition-and-updates market, not a square-footage or new-construction one.
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.

The Tubman Manor buying strategy.
If we were buying in Tubman Manor 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 Tubman Manor.
A condition-driven resale pocket
The housing stock here is consistent: homes from a roughly eleven-year build window, clustered around a 1976 median year built, and a median footprint near 1,322 square feet. That uniformity is useful for pricing — comparables are genuinely comparable — but it also means the differentiator is what has been done to the house since. A well-maintained or updated home and an original one can be the same size and age and still trade very differently.
Because 62% of homes carry a homestead exemption, most of these houses are lived in rather than flipped or rented, which generally supports upkeep and slower, more predictable turnover. Buyers should budget for the realities of a home in this age band — roof, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical are the line items that matter — and lean on the inspection. Sellers who have kept records of major-system updates will find those documents do real work at the negotiating table.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Tubman Manor. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here

We help buyers weigh what a home's age means for near-term capital costs, and we help sellers position updates and maintenance history so the home is judged on its merits rather than its build year.
