Barnetts, also recorded historically as Barnett's Subdivision, is an established residential neighborhood in Northwest Jacksonville, in Duval County, roughly bounded by Kings Road, Myrtle Avenue, and West 4th and 7th Streets, near the campus of Edward Waters University.
realMLS (Northeast Florida) sales records identify 147 homes in Barnetts that have changed hands since 2001, built between 1904 and 2026 (median 1925), with a median living area of about 1,160 sq ft and a typical 3-bedroom, 1-bath layout; 99% are single-family homes. Source: realMLS (Northeast Florida) closed-sale history compiled by Momentum Research; counts reflect homes with a recorded MLS sale, not every home in the community.
County records show 160 qualified sales in Barnetts across 2024–2025 (103 in 2024, 57 in 2025), median $180,000 — the last recorded sale per parcel on the Florida DOR 2025 assessment roll, independent of the MLS.
The land has a documented history: the subdivision was platted between 1907 and 1908 and named for William Boyd Barnett, a 19th century landowner. Served by the streetcar line, the area developed further after the Great Fire of 1901 (source: The Jaxson Mag, local history reporting). Because this is a resale market rather than new construction, each home today trades on its own condition, updates, and lot position, and HOA status was not independently confirmed in this fast pass, so buyers should verify any association, dues, and deed restrictions on the specific parcel before making an offer.
The bigger picture is location. Barnetts sits inside Northwest Jacksonville's established street grid, within a short drive of downtown, near Edward Waters University, at a price point below newer nearby construction. That central location, paired with the neighborhood's documented early 20th century origins, is the core of the value case here.
