What homes of your size have sold for in Kensington Gardens

The same recorded closings, split into thirds by living area. Find the row your home falls in: the $/sqft figure times your square footage is the recorded-sales bracket for homes like yours here — a starting range from real closings, not a valuation of your specific property. Smaller homes here have been selling at a higher price per square foot than larger ones ($254 vs $233) — the usual pattern, since lot, kitchen and baths do not scale with floor area.

At Kensington Gardens’s $389,000 median and Duval County’s adopted 17.86 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $6,950 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $6,210 with the full Florida homestead exemption — a buyer’s first-year figure; a long-time owner’s Save Our Homes cap can be far lower, which is one reason resale taxes jump at closing. Municipal and special-district millage varies inside the county; see the Duval County tax page.
