Forest Trails sits on Jacksonville's Westside, a quieter pocket of larger homes where the median floor plan runs a generous 2,743 square feet. Neighbors here trade the density of the urban core for room to spread out, with the wider Westside grid of Chimney Lakes, Royal Lakes, and Marietta close at hand and Cecil Field Airport anchoring the area's employment base.
For buyers, this is a small and slow-moving market — just two active listings today, so inventory is genuinely tight. Homes are priced between $350,000 and $484,990 with a median list of $417,495, and they take their time selling at a median of 66 days on market. When deals do close, sellers are getting about 99% of asking, so realistic offers matter; browse everything currently available on the live map or across the broader pool of Jacksonville homes for sale.
