Dunn Creek
Homes for Sale in Jacksonville, FL
True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.
As of September 2026, the MLS records 15 closed sales in Dunn Creek in Jacksonville, FL since 2006, the most recent in December 2024. Across Jacksonville as a whole, 8,873 homes closed in the last 12 months at a median of $305,375, 44 median days on market, with 2,391 homes for sale today. At that median and Duval County's FY2025-26 rate of 17.86 mills, annual property tax runs about $5,460 ($4,720 with the full homestead exemption).
Dunn Creek is not a cookie-cutter subdivision. The homes here span from 1936 to 2024, with the median build landing in 1997, so what you pay is driven far more by condition, updates, and lot than by any single price band. A renovated home and a tired original in the same pocket can sit worlds apart on price, and the median only tells you where the middle sits — expect a wide spread around it.
With roughly two-thirds of homes held as homestead, this reads as an owner-occupied community rather than an investor churn. That tends to keep turnover measured. Sellers with a genuinely updated home have leverage; sellers counting on original condition to carry the price should temper expectations. Buyers should underwrite each property on its own merits, because the age range means no two listings are truly comparable.
The 60-Second Overview
Dunn Creek is an established Jacksonville pocket in Duval County where a long build history — 1936 through 2024 — means you are shopping individual homes, not a uniform product. The median living area of about 2,051 square feet points to real, usable houses rather than starter boxes.

The Dunn Creek buying strategy.
If we were buying in Dunn Creek 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 Dunn Creek.
A community defined by range, not repetition
The defining fact of Dunn Creek is its age spread. With homes dating back to 1936 and new construction as recent as 2024, and a median year built of 1997, the housing stock is genuinely mixed. That variety is an opportunity and a caution: you can find both dated homes with upside and move-in-ready newer builds, but you cannot assume the house next door tells you anything about the one you want.
At a median of roughly 2,051 square feet, these are substantive homes with room to work. The homestead share near two-thirds suggests long-term ownership is the norm here, which usually means well-kept blocks and steadier inventory. For a buyer, the homework is in the inspection and the comparables; for a seller, the homework is in presenting condition honestly, because that is what sets price in a community this varied.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Dunn Creek. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
In a community where every home is its own case, generic pricing advice fails. We underwrite Dunn Creek listings property by property — weighing age, updates, and square footage against the right comparables rather than a blanket median — so buyers do not overpay for condition they are not getting and sellers do not leave money on a genuinely updated home.
