Blakes
Homes for Sale in Pomona Park, FL
True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.
Price here is driven by condition and the individual property, not by any prevailing product type. With a stock spanning from 1900 to 2024 and a median build year around 1954, you are looking at a mix that ranges from century-old structures to recent construction. The median living area sits near 1,145 square feet, so this is a small-home market, and the spread in price will track heavily with age, updates, and lot rather than a tidy comp set.
For buyers, that means underwriting each home on its own merits — a mid-century cottage that has been renovated and one that has not can sit at very different numbers. For sellers, presentation and honest condition disclosure matter more than in a subdivision of like-for-like homes, because there is no easy comparable to anchor a buyer's expectation.
The 60-Second Overview
Blakes is a small, older-leaning pocket of Pomona Park in Putnam County, with 97 homes and a build history running from 1900 all the way to 2024. It reads as a place where each property is its own story rather than a matched set.
Pre-construction details are compiled from public records, builder announcements and builder listings, and are subject to change without notice; figures are deemed reliable but not guaranteed.

Who Blakes is best for.
Best for
- Buyers seeking a compact home near the ~1,145 sq ft median who value a smaller footprint
- Renovation-minded buyers willing to underwrite an older home's condition and systems
- Buyers who want a range of vintages, including possible recent construction, in one small area
Probably not for
- Buyers who need a large home well above the small median footprint
- Buyers who want matched, subdivision-style comps to anchor value
- Buyers unwilling to budget for inspections and potential updates on an older structure

The Blakes buying strategy.
If we were buying in Blakes 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 Blakes.
A condition-driven small-home market
The median year built lands around 1954, and the range stretches back to 1900 and forward to 2024. That is an unusually wide vintage spread for a community of only 97 homes, and it tells you the neighborhood has been added to piecemeal over decades rather than developed in one phase. Expect to evaluate roofs, systems, and structural condition property by property.
Homestead share sits at roughly 45 percent, which means a meaningful portion of the stock is not owner-occupied under homestead. Combined with the small median footprint near 1,145 square feet, this is a market where buyers should budget for their own inspection diligence and sellers should not assume a nearby sale sets their price.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Blakes. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
In a market this varied — where a 1900 structure and a 2024 build sit in the same 97-home community — the value is in the read on each individual property, not a formula. We price on condition and comparables we can actually defend, and we will tell you plainly when a home's age and systems argue for a different number than the seller hopes.
