The Homes & Style
Dream Finders pricing starts at 310,990 dollars per the builder site in June 2026, and the recorded D.R. Horton resales, 373,990 dollars in November 2023 and 386,000 dollars in February 2024 per Redfin, show the community holding value in the high 300s for the mid-size plans.
The buyer pool is first-time buyers, airport and logistics workers, and buyers who want more square footage than the Pecan Park corridor offers at the price.
New Dream Finders inventory and D.R. Horton resale compete head to head here, which keeps both sides honest on price.
Dunns Crossing gives you a choice most active communities cannot: new Dream Finders construction or recent D.R. Horton resale, inside the same gateless gates.
The active product: 8 plans from 1,711 to 3,533 square feet, from 310,990 dollars per dreamfindershomes.com in June 2026, with the larger plans stretching well past 3,000 square feet.
The roughly 2021 to 2023 Express-tier homes; Redfin recorded resales at 373,990 dollars in November 2023 and 386,000 dollars in February 2024, which anchors the comp base.
Pond and buffer lots carry premiums in the new phases; in the resale phases, condition and upgrades drive the spread.
Living Here
The amenity campus covers the everyday basics, and the HOA internet inclusion is the sleeper benefit.
The community centerpiece.
On-site, included in the HOA.
The splash pad alongside the pool.
The playground anchoring the campus.
River City Marketplace handles big-box, dining, and the movie theater about ten minutes away, and the Dunn Avenue strip retail covers groceries and daily errands closer to home.
High-speed internet inside the HOA dues quietly rebates 50 to 80 dollars of typical monthly spend; almost nobody nets that out when comparing fee stacks, and it changes the math.
Dunns Crossing gets confused with Durbin Crossing in St. Johns County and Dunns Creek Plantation; they are different communities in different places, and the mix-up pollutes search results and comps.
Most active communities have no resale history; the 2021 to 2023 D.R. Horton phases here give buyers recorded sales, 373,990 and 386,000 dollars per Redfin, to negotiate against.
Before You Offer
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 Dunns Crossing 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.
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 Dunns Crossing address rather than assuming.
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.
Comparisons
Dunns Crossing's natural cross-shops are the other newer single-family communities along the airport and Dunn Avenue corridor. Against the Landings at Pecan Park, Dunns Crossing offers more square footage per dollar on the larger Dream Finders plans and the unusual option of buying new or recent resale in one place, while Pecan Park trades on its own location closer to the airport interchange. Against an established community such as Dunns Creek Plantation a few minutes east, Dunns Crossing gives up mature trees and bigger lots but gains new and nearly new construction, a finished amenity campus, and internet bundled into the dues. And against the Durbin Crossing master community in St. Johns County, often confused with this one, Dunns Crossing is a smaller Duval community at a lower price point without the St. Johns school zoning or the CDD that funds Durbin's amenities. The honest summary: Dunns Crossing wins on price, square footage, and the new-versus-resale choice, and gives ground on lot size, prestige, and amenity scale to the bigger master communities.
Who It Fits
Dunns Crossing fits the first-time buyer who wants new or nearly new single-family near the airport, the value buyer who wants to negotiate new construction against recorded resale in one community, and the airport or logistics-corridor commuter who wants internet bundled into the HOA dues. It also fits the buyer who wants more square footage than the corridor usually offers at the price. It does not fit the buyer who wants a gated or golf address, the buyer who wants large acreage or a custom home, or the buyer who wants a walkable urban setting; for those, other communities are the better targets. And anyone who confuses this with Durbin Crossing in St. Johns County, or comps across phases instead of by builder, will misread both the price and the value.
