Homes for Sale in Fleming Island, FL
True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.

Creighton Forest is a small, gated pocket of Fleming Island — 118 homes total, and right now there isn't a single one active on the market. That kind of scarcity does more to set expectations here than any single sold comp: when nothing's listed, sellers hold the leverage and buyers are left waiting for whatever surfaces next.
The housing stock itself spans a wide range, with homes built anywhere from 1949 to 2024, a median build year of 1984, and median living space around 2,293 square feet. Owner-occupancy runs high — 64.7% of homes carry a homestead exemption — which tends to mean less turnover-driven churn in the resale mix. For a buyer, that combination of tight inventory, an older median build year, and high owner-occupancy means patience and a ready pre-approval matter more than usual.
Figures in this note are as of July 15, 2026. The live market numbers elsewhere on this page update nightly and are newer.
The 60-Second Overview
Creighton Forest is a gated, boat-dock community in Fleming Island with 118 homes and no active listings at the moment — a small, tightly held pocket rather than a high-turnover subdivision.

Who Creighton Forest is best for.
Best for
- Buyers comfortable waiting out a zero-inventory market for the right gated, boat-dock property
- Buyers budgeting for a home closer to the 1984 median build year, older systems included
- Buyers who value a low-turnover market (64.7% homestead share) over frequent resale activity
Probably not for
- Buyers who need to close on a set timeline — there is nothing active to tour today
- Buyers set on new or newer construction only — the median build year here is 1984
- Buyers who haven't budgeted for inspection contingencies across a wide build-year range spanning 1949 to 2024

The Creighton Forest buying strategy.
If we were buying in Creighton Forest 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 Creighton Forest.
A wide build range, a narrow door in
Build years here run the full spectrum — from 1949 up through 2024 — so Creighton Forest isn't a single-era subdivision with matching floor plans and matching maintenance needs. That range means due diligence matters more than usual: a home from 1949 and one from 2024 on the same street can have entirely different systems, foundations, and insurance profiles even if the square footage looks similar on paper. With a median living area of 2,293 square feet and a median build year of 1984, the typical home here carries real age, which is worth budgeting for in inspections.
The community's defining amenities, per MLS listing data, are a security gate and a boat dock — both worth confirming directly with the HOA on current access, fees, and dock policies before writing an offer. Combined with a 64.7% homestead share, this reads as a low-turnover community, which lines up with the current absence of any active listings.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Creighton Forest. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.

Clay school district says one-mill referendum renews, not raises, property tax
The Clay County school district says the referendum on the upcoming ballot renews the one-mill levy voters first approved in 2020 at the same rate. The money funds school law enforcement contracts and compensation to retain and attract teachers and support staff. A citizens' advisory committee reviews spending, and the district says non-renewal would leave a funding shortfall.
What it may mean for the marketThe outcome sets school operating funding and staffing support for Clay County without changing the current millage rate. The site is about 11 miles south of Creighton Forest.

FDOT held a St. Johns County open house on the final phase in January 2026.
