As of September 2026, Forest Hideaway in Jacksonville, FL has 1 home for sale. As of September 2026, the MLS records 32 closed sales in Forest Hideaway in Jacksonville, FL since 2017, the most recent in April 2026. Recorded prices across those 32 sales ran from $174,900 to $347,100 (median $206,770), on homes of 1,450 to 2,084 sq ft. Across Jacksonville as a whole, 8,846 homes closed in the last 12 months at a median of $305,375, 44 median days on market, with 2,385 homes for sale today. At that median and Duval County's FY2025-26 rate of 17.86 mills, annual property tax runs about $3,690 ($2,960 with the full homestead exemption).
Forest Hideaway is a small pocket of 35 homes in Jacksonville, and with a build range spanning 1987 to 2018, what sets price here is less about the address and more about which era of construction you're buying. The median year built lands at 2018, which tells you the inventory skews newer than the range alone suggests — but there are older homes in the mix, and condition will drive the spread as much as anything.
With just over 40% of homes carrying a homestead exemption, this is not a rental-dominated enclave, but it isn't fully owner-occupied either. For a seller, that mix means comps can be inconsistent; for a buyer, it means you should underwrite each home on its own merits rather than a neighborhood-wide number. The single figure worth anchoring to is a median living area near 1,889 square feet.

🟢 Buyer-leaning market. 12.0 months of supply and 0% of the inventory already under contract give buyers above-average negotiating leverage.Why it matters: months of supply is how long today's inventory would last at today's sales pace; under-contract share is the portion of homes for sale that already have a buyer.Momentum Research analysis of realMLS records, as of September 7, 2026. Confidence: Low (1 active and pending listings, 1 closed sales in 12 months).

The 60-Second Overview

Probably not for

- Short-horizon buyers counting on quick, easy resale in a thin market

The Forest Hideaway buying strategy.
If we were buying in Forest Hideaway 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.
Use your leverage. With inventory sitting, there is room to negotiate on anything dated or overpriced and to ask for repairs or a rate buydown.
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 Forest Hideaway.
A small community with a wide build range
Thirty-five homes is a thin market. Closings are infrequent, so the data behind any given month is limited and a single sale can move the apparent average. That argues for patience on both sides of the table — buyers should be ready to move when the right home lists, and sellers should not read too much into one recent number.
The build range from 1987 to 2018 is the story here. A late-1980s home and a 2018 home differ in systems, layout, and likely condition, and that gap is where negotiation happens. With a median living area around 1,889 square feet, the housing stock is mid-sized rather than sprawling, so square footage differences tend to be modest and finish level does the heavy lifting on value.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Forest Hideaway. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
In a 35-home community with sparse closings, the wrong comp can cost you real money. We track this pocket at the home level — build era, condition, and living area — rather than leaning on a thin neighborhood average, so you price or offer against what a specific home actually is.
