William M. Raines High School

It's a practical, affordable Northside Jacksonville neighborhood with real single-family homes and access to schools including Joseph Stilwell Middle and Lake Shore Middle. Buyers who value low entry costs and proximity to specialty programs like the Marine Science Education Center will find it a solid fit. It's a community geared toward value rather than luxury amenities.

No — this is one of Jacksonville's more accessible areas, with a median list price of $125,000 and active listings ranging from $59,900 up to $210,000. At roughly $122 per square foot, it appeals strongly to first-time buyers and investors. You can browse everything currently available on the live map.

Over the past 12 months, 14 homes sold at a median price of $124,500, closely tracking the $125,000 median list price. The typical home is compact at around 828 square feet, and sellers have been getting about 96% of their asking price. Expect entry-level pricing rather than move-up product.

Inventory is thin, with only 11 active listings against 14 sales in the last year, so choices are limited. Homes take a median of 56 days to sell and close near 96% of ask, meaning it's balanced but not a place for lowball offers. Serious buyers should be ready to act when a well-priced home hits the market.

There's no typical HOA reported in this zone, which keeps recurring costs down. The median property tax bill is about $1,995 a year, low enough that monthly ownership stays affordable — a big reason the area works well for rentals commanding around $1,285 a month.
