True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.
Over the 12 months ending 2026-11-10, 3 recorded sales closed at a median of $370,000, $211 per square foot, a median 110 days on market, sellers accepting 92% of original asking. At the median price and Duval County's FY2025-26 rate of 17.86 mills, annual property tax runs about $6,610 ($5,880 with the full homestead exemption).
Bentley Woods prices on the bones of the house, not on amenities or a marketing story. With a median build year of 1994 and a range that runs 1985 to 2000, this is an established Duval County subdivision where lot size, layout, and how well a given owner has maintained the mechanicals do most of the work in setting value. The current median of $344,900, at roughly $211 per square foot, reflects a resale market rather than a new-construction one — condition dispersion is the real story here, not a tight band of comps.
A median of 93 days on market and a market heat score of 12 tell you this is not a bidding-war neighborhood right now. That posture favors buyers who are willing to do their own diligence on an older home, and it means sellers need a pricing and presentation strategy that accounts for the extra time it takes to find the right buyer rather than assuming a quick, full-price close.

Bentley Woods is a 163-home subdivision in Jacksonville (Duval County) built out mostly in the late 1980s and 1990s, with no community amenities identified from current MLS listings — the value proposition here is the home and the established location, not a clubhouse or pool package.
Who Bentley Woods is best for.
Best for
- Buyers with a budget centered near the $344,900 median who want an established home over new construction.
- Buyers comfortable budgeting for updates or repairs on a home built between 1985 and 2000.
- Buyers who want negotiating leverage in a market currently averaging 93 days on market.
Probably not for

- Buyers who want HOA-run community amenities, since none are identified in current MLS listings.
- Buyers expecting a fast, competitive-offer close in a low market heat environment.

The Bentley Woods buying strategy.
If we were buying in Bentley Woods today, this is the order of operations we would run for our clients.
Underwrite the condition first. Price the roof, HVAC, and systems honestly before judging any list price; condition swings value here more than square footage alone.
Match the home to real comps. Recent sales of similar condition and lot, not the asking price, tell you what a home is worth.
Move deliberately, not desperately. Neither side has a decisive edge, so a well-prepared, fairly-priced offer wins without overpaying.
Line up financing and inspection early. A pre-approval and an inspection plan let you act fast and negotiate from evidence.
Keep an agent in your corner. The listing agent works for the seller; we represent you and prepare a hand-built valuation before any offer in Bentley Woods.
An established resale market, not a new build story
The numbers point to a mature, largely owner-occupied pocket of Jacksonville. With roughly 69.3% of homes carrying a homestead exemption, this is a subdivision where most owners have claimed it as a primary residence rather than a rental or investment hold, which tends to show up as steadier upkeep but also more variation in how individual homes have been updated over three-plus decades. Median living area sits at 1,633 square feet, consistent with the compact, efficient floor plans typical of its 1985–2000 build window.
Home values here are up 183% since 2012, a long horizon of appreciation that reflects the broader Jacksonville market as much as anything specific to Bentley Woods. Today's median days-on-market of 93 and a low market heat score of 12 suggest that pace has cooled from wherever it peaked — buyers now have more room to negotiate on price and terms, and sellers who price realistically for condition and lean into repairs or updates before listing tend to see better results than those who price on the neighborhood's history alone.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Bentley Woods. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.

Momentum Intelligence Scores are our proprietary, qualitative assessment on a 0 to 10 scale, built from the record-level market data on this page. They are a framework for comparing communities, not a guarantee of future value and not advice on a specific home; unlike an automated value estimate they do not price your home, they grade the community on evidence you can inspect. Composite is the plain average of the 3 factors (7.3). Basis: Long-Term Appreciation +230% since 2012; Owner Commitment 69% owner-occupied; Pricing Power 92.4% sale-to-list. Refreshed with each data update.
Why work with Momentum here
In a resale-driven subdivision like Bentley Woods, the difference between a good and a bad outcome usually comes down to reading condition correctly and pricing against real per-square-foot comps rather than headline neighborhood averages. Momentum pulls directly from the RealMLS feed to price against the specific mix of 1985–2000 construction here, and we help buyers structure inspection and negotiation strategy around a market that is currently moving slowly enough to reward patience and diligence.
