Waterleaf Jacksonville is a community of 605 homes in Jacksonville, Duval County, built between 2004 and 2012 (median 2005), with a median living area of about 2,942 square feet. 77% of parcels are homesteaded, the owner-occupancy proxy in the Florida DOR assessment roll (2025 roll, public records).

Waterleaf is a large, established Jacksonville community of roughly 605 homes, most built in a single mid-2000s wave, which means consistent floor plans and square footage rather than a patchwork of eras.

Two numbers define the character here. First, size: a median living area near 2,942 square feet is substantial, so this is a community of larger homes rather than starter product. Second, a homestead share around 77% tells you most of these homes are owner-occupied primary residences, not rentals or investor holdings — a sign of a stable, lived-in community.

With the construction window closed and inventory limited to what existing owners choose to list, differentiation comes down to updates. A median price near $507,500 sits in the middle of a spread that condition drives — kitchens, systems, and roofs from the original build era are the variables that separate one asking price from another. The 40-day median on market gives a buyer room to weigh those differences carefully.

In a condition-driven market like Waterleaf, the wrong comparison can cost thousands on either side of the table. We read these homes by their updates and their age-related wear — roofs, HVAC, and finishes from the original build years — and price accordingly rather than by square footage alone. With a cooler market and a 40-day median, that discipline is what keeps a listing from stalling and keeps a buyer from overpaying.
