Campfield

Executive Summary

Campfield is a gated Pulte community from roughly 2004 to 2007 with two products: the Retreat at Campfield, elevator-served condos on the Allegheny, Bandelier, Caledonia, and Denali plans, and the Ridge at Campfield, townhomes with one-car garages on the Florentino, Galliano, and San Carlo plans, all concrete block with screened lanais.

Recent comps frame a working range of roughly 200,000 to 305,000 dollars: condo unit 2303 sold for 220,000 dollars on August 20, 2025, the townhome at 11188 Campfield Circle sold for 301,000 dollars on April 28, 2025, and an active condo was asking 287,900 dollars, all per Redfin data fetched in June 2026.

The location is the quiet headline: the SR-9A interchange is at the doorstep and St. Johns Town Center is minutes away, which keeps both the buyer pool and the rental demand steady; the current condo fee is not reliably published, so confirm it with the association before contract.

Quick Facts

Community Overview & History

Two products behind one gate

Pulte built Campfield in the mid-2000s as a two-tier community, and the structure still defines how it shops today. The Retreat section is the condo product, with elevator buildings and single-level plans named Allegheny, Bandelier, Caledonia, and Denali, while the Ridge section is the townhome product, the Florentino, Galliano, and San Carlo plans with attached one-car garages. Same gate, same amenity core, two meaningfully different purchases, so the first question is always which section you are actually shopping.

How it feels on the ground today

Campfield is fully built out and reads as an established gated community: concrete block buildings that have aged well, screened lanais, and an amenity package centered on the pool and fitness room rather than a sprawling campus. The SR-9A on-ramp sits essentially at the entrance, which is a genuine commuting advantage and an occasional background-noise tradeoff, and the Town Center retail gravity keeps the surrounding corridor busy and well-served.

The Retreat and the Ridge

Campfield is one gate and two sections, so sort listings by section before you compare prices.

The Retreat at Campfield

The condo section, with elevator-served buildings and single-level plans, Allegheny, Bandelier, Caledonia, and Denali; the elevator access makes these a quiet favorite for downsizers and anyone avoiding stairs.

The Ridge at Campfield

The townhome section, with the Florentino, Galliano, and San Carlo plans and attached one-car garages; the garage and two-story layout pull these toward the top of the community price band.

Plan sizes across both sections

Two and three bedroom plans run about 1,126 to 1,711 square feet, all concrete block with screened lanais, so the section choice is more about lifestyle and garage than raw size.

Real Estate Market

Condo unit 2303 sold for 220,000 dollars on August 20, 2025 per Redfin, which anchors the condo side of the community.

The townhome at 11188 Campfield Circle sold for 301,000 dollars on April 28, 2025 per Redfin, and an active condo was asking 287,900 dollars per Redfin data fetched in June 2026, so the realistic working range across both products is roughly 200,000 to 305,000 dollars.

The spread between the 220,000 dollar condo sale and the 287,900 dollar condo ask is worth noticing: condition, floor, and plan drive real variance inside the Retreat, so comp against the same plan where possible.

Who Lives Here

Campfield draws Town Center professionals who want gated, low-maintenance living minutes from work and retail, downsizers drawn to the elevator condos in the Retreat, and first-time buyers stepping into the Ridge townhomes for the garage.

Schools

Campfield is served by Duval County Public Schools, with attendance zones by home address, plus private and charter options nearby. Confirm the exact zoning for a Campfield address before you buy. Zoned schools for this community were not verified by third-party sources at publish time, so run the address through the district locator before you write an offer.

Amenities & Lifestyle

The amenity package is focused rather than sprawling, which helps keep the fee stack manageable.

Gated entry

Controlled access at the community entrance off Baymeadows Road East.

Community pool

The recreation centerpiece shared by both sections.

Fitness room

An on-site gym that saves a membership for casual users.

Screened lanais

Every plan carries private outdoor space, a Pulte-era standard that newer attached product often drops.

HOA, CDD & Costs

The current condo and association fee figures are not reliably published for Campfield, so confirm them in writing with the association for the specific section, Retreat or Ridge, before contract; the two sections can carry different fee structures.

Expect the condo side to bundle building insurance and exterior maintenance in the usual Florida condo pattern, but verify exactly what the master policy covers, because that drives both your fee and your own insurance needs.

There is no CDD at Campfield, which keeps the tax bill clean compared to many newer Jacksonville communities.

Commute Analysis

Campfield sits at the Baymeadows Road East and SR-9A interchange, so the beltway is essentially at the gate; the Town Center, Mayo, the beaches, and downtown are all one easy highway run.

Shopping & Dining

St. Johns Town Center, the regional shopping and dining anchor, is about five minutes away, and the Baymeadows Road East corridor covers groceries and daily errands closer to home.

Pros and Cons

Campfield vs. Comparable Communities

Hidden Things Buyers Should Know

The elevator advantage

The Retreat is one of the few mid-2000s condo products in this corridor with elevator buildings, which quietly widens the buyer pool to downsizers and accessibility-minded buyers; that supports resale demand on the condo side more than most shoppers realize.

Comp by plan, not by community

With seven named plans across two sections, the Campfield average price is nearly meaningless; a Denali condo and a San Carlo townhome are different markets, so make your agent pull plan-level comps.

The interchange tradeoff

The SR-9A ramp at the doorstep is the best commuting position in the Baymeadows East area, but units closest to the highway side carry more road hum; walk the specific building at rush hour before you commit.

Momentum Expert Insight

Selling a Home in Campfield

Campfield listings compete inside their own section first, so we comp Retreat condos against Retreat condos and Ridge townhomes against Ridge townhomes, and price to the freshest plan-level sale.

We position Campfield around the gate, the elevator access or garage depending on section, and the Town Center proximity, the three things that justify the premium over the older corridor condos.

Flood Zones & Insurance

Jacksonville sees coastal, river, and creek flooding, and pockets near the St. Johns River tributaries can sit in higher-risk zones. Jacksonville participates in the FEMA Community Rating System at a class 6, which earns flood-insurance discounts of about 10 percent for homes outside a special flood hazard area and about 20 percent for homes inside one.

The reliable move is to pull the FEMA flood designation for the exact Campfield address before you write an offer, since two homes in the same area can fall in different zones. A home in Zone X can cost far less to insure than one near water in Zone AE. Get a bindable flood and homeowners quote during your inspection period, so the cost is in your monthly math before you commit, not after.

Internet & Connectivity

The Jacksonville metro is served by Xfinity (Comcast) cable across nearly all addresses and by AT&T with DSL almost everywhere plus fiber to a growing share of homes. If working from home matters, confirm the options, and fiber in particular, at the specific Campfield address rather than assuming.

The Tax Reality

Duval County total millage runs roughly 17.9 to 18.5 mills depending on the taxing district. The Florida homestead exemption for 2026 is 51,411 dollars for those who qualify, and the deadline to file a new homestead exemption is March 1.

The trap to plan for is the post-sale reset: when you buy, the Save Our Homes cap from the previous owner ends and the assessed value resets to the new just value, so your second-year tax bill is often higher than the seller current one. Budget the true number, and confirm whether the specific home carries a CDD or other assessment that is billed separately from the millage and is not reduced by the homestead exemption.

What Your Budget Buys Here

The same budget buys very different homes across Campfield and the surrounding area, depending on age, size, lot, and condition. Rather than anchor on the asking price or the neighborhood average, price any specific home off the most recent comparable sales, and weigh what your money would buy in the nearby alternatives before you commit.

The Future of the Area

Duval County continues to grow, with new rooftops, retail, and road work reshaping parts of the area. That growth supports long-run demand, but it can also add competing inventory and construction traffic in the near term, so factor both the upside and the disruption into your timing and your pricing.

Resale Liquidity

How quickly a Campfield home resells comes down to presentation, condition, and pricing against the latest comparable sales rather than the neighborhood average. Homes that are priced correctly and shown well tend to move, while overpriced or dated homes sit. We track the active and sold comparable set so a Campfield home is priced to the real market.

The Campfield Playbook

If you are buying in Campfield, here is how we would approach it: pull the flood zone and a real insurance quote for the specific address, confirm the HOA dues and whether a CDD applies, compare what your budget would buy nearby, and price the home off the closest comparable sales rather than the asking price. If you are buying any new-construction home, bring your own agent before you register, since the on-site representative works for the builder, not for you.

Questions We Would Ask Before Buying Here

Mistakes to Avoid

The common ones around Campfield: trusting the seller current tax bill instead of the post-sale reset; skipping the address-specific flood check; assuming fiber is at every home; and pricing off the neighborhood average rather than the closest comparable sales. Each is avoidable with the right diligence, which is exactly where having your own agent pays off.
