Cedar Hills Estates, Jacksonville

Market snapshot

Eighty-seven closings were recorded — one of the largest samples in this dataset — at a median of $228,000 and about $161 a square foot. Homes averaged 64 days on market with 2.2 months of supply, classified as a seller's market. Median price read roughly 6% below the prior year. With this many transactions, the figures are dependable rather than indicative.

Market figures above are aggregated community sales data taken from the public community-data index published at the website movewithmomentum.com (an unaffiliated third party), dataset generated 2026-07-13, reflecting sales as of 2026-07-09. Figures are area aggregates, not an appraisal or a valuation of any individual home, and they change as new sales record. HOA dues, CDD fees and property taxes are NOT shown here: the only figures available for them are modelled estimates rather than recorded amounts. Ask Keith Jones Sr for the current recorded numbers before you rely on them.

For context, Duval County as a whole carried a county-wide typical home value (ZHVI) of $297,493 and a county median list price of $308,950, with a county-wide average of 57 days on market and a price-cut share of 24.4%, as of the June 2026 data release. Cedar Hills Estates' $228,000 median sale price runs about $69,500 below the county-wide typical value — roughly 23% below county norms — which is consistent with its position as one of the more accessible price points remaining inside the city rather than a red flag on its own. Its 64-day average is about a week slower than the county's 57-day average, which tracks with an older housing stock that takes longer to finance and insure than newer product elsewhere in the county.

Duval County carried 185 total schools and 23 designated Schools of Excellence in the FLDOE 2024-25 data, with average student learning gains of 56.8% in ELA and 59.4% in math countywide. Confirm the specific elementary, middle and high school assignment for any Cedar Hills address directly with Duval County Public Schools rather than relying on a listing description, since zoning inside Westside Jacksonville is not uniform block to block.

What to check before you buy here

Cedar Hills housing stock is largely mid-century, and that puts insurance and financing at the centre of the deal. Check roof age, the electrical panel, and whether the home still has original cast-iron drain lines. Ask for a four-point and wind-mitigation inspection early, and get a written insurance quote before your inspection period ends — an uninsurable roof will end a mortgage application outright.

The panel is worth its own line item. Homes of this era were commonly wired with Federal Pacific Electric or Zinsco panels, both of which a growing number of Florida carriers will not insure without replacement, regardless of whether the panel has ever failed. Budget for an electrician's evaluation before you assume the panel passes, because discovering a panel issue during underwriting — after you have already waived your inspection contingency — is one of the more expensive mistakes a buyer can make in this price range.

Cedar Hills Estates does not carry a CDD assessment the way the newer master-planned communities to the south do, which is part of what keeps its price point accessible, but always confirm that with the county tax record rather than assuming it based on the neighborhood's age. If there is an HOA, get the current dues, the reserve study status and any pending special assessment in writing before closing — an association with an underfunded reserve can levy a large one-time assessment on new owners with little warning.

At $228,000 median and $161 a square foot, this is one of the more workable numbers on this site for an investor running rental math, but the same roof-and-panel questions above apply doubly to a rental — a tenant does not care about original character, and an uninsurable property is unrentable at any price. At 87 closings and 64 days on market, distressed sales still surface here from time to time; if you are the seller and a straight sale will not clear what you owe, that is a short-sale conversation, not a foreclosure default. Keith Jones Sr is a state-approved short-sale instructor and can walk that path with you directly.

Who Cedar Hills Estates Fits

The right buyer here is the one who reads the four-point inspection before falling for the lot. Cedar Hills rewards buyers who want one of the last accessible price points inside the beltway and will budget honestly for roof, panel, and plumbing — and it rewards investors who run rental math with those same three items priced in rather than assumed away. It also fits buyers anchored to the Westside or NAS Jacksonville who want genuine volume to choose from; few Duval neighborhoods trade this many homes in a year. The wrong fit? A buyer who cannot absorb a surprise repair in year one. Mid-century houses do not apologize.

Before you rely on anything above: flood determinations are parcel-specific, so pull the address at the FEMA Flood Map Service Center, and school assignments should come straight from Duval County Public Schools rather than a listing remark. Confirm the absence of any CDD and the current recorded taxes at the Duval County Property Appraiser; the state’s exemption framework is at the Florida Department of Revenue.
