Jon's Current Read

"The Groves is an established single-family community of roughly 365 homes off Clyde Morris Boulevard in central Port Orange, built about 1980 to 1995. The read is renovation-driven: condition and updates set the price, pond and water-view lots carry a premium, and the central location near I-95 and the Pavilion is the durable draw. Your leverage is the renovation math on a 1980s or 1990s home, read against its lot and any flood zone near the interior ponds."

Jon Brooks, founder, Momentum Realty · Updated June 2026

The 60-Second Overview

The Groves, also marketed as Groves, is an established single-family community off Clyde Morris Boulevard near Madeline Avenue in central Port Orange, in the 32129 ZIP. It has roughly 365 homes, built about 1980 to 1995, with several interior ponds and water-view lots. It is an all-ages community.

Because the community is built out, nearly every purchase is a resale. Condition and updates drive the price, and pond or water-view lots tend to carry a premium over interior parcels. A homeowners association is referenced for the community, though the exact dues should be confirmed.

The location is the steady draw: the community sits near the I-95 and I-4 access at Beville Road, the Pavilion at Port Orange and other retail, and the Port Orange City Center. Note that an adjacent age-restricted manufactured-home park, Colony in the Wood, is a separate community that portals sometimes blend with The Groves.

Third-party portals put the recent median sale price around $320,000 in 2026 (Homes.com, June 2026); treat that as an illustrative third-party figure and price any specific home on its comps, condition, and lot.

Best for

  • Buyers who want an established community with water-view lots
  • Buyers who value central Port Orange access to I-95 and shopping
  • Buyers comfortable updating a 1980s or 1990s home
  • Buyers who want a pond or water-view homesite

Probably not for

  • Buyers who want new construction with a builder warranty
  • Buyers seeking the lowest possible carrying cost with no HOA
  • Buyers who want a gated, amenity-rich community
  • Buyers who want a beachfront or walk-to-water location

Tight supply and strong demand favor sellers here. Homes still take about two months to sell, though, and with asking prices running above recent sales per square foot, a prepared buyer has room on anything overpriced. Reading each home against the real comps, not the headline trend, is where the edge is.

If we were buying in The Groves, this is the order of operations we would run, and the one we run for our clients.

1

Confirm the HOA dues. A community association is referenced, so get the exact current dues and what they cover in writing for the specific home.

2

Read the renovation math. Price the roof, HVAC, and systems honestly on a home built in the 1980s or 1990s before judging any list price.

3

Choose the lot and the water. Pond and water-view lots hold value; interior lots are where buyers overpay in this community.

4

Check the flood zone near the ponds. Some lots back to interior ponds, so pull the FEMA flood map for the specific parcel.

5

Cross-shop established Port Orange and compare Countryside nearby.

The homes

Homes are single-family residences, averaging around 1,560 square feet, built about 1980 to 1995, many with pond or water views. Third-party portals put the recent median sale price around $320,000 in 2026, varying by home and lot.

Living here

15-Second Take
  • Renovation math decides the deal
  • Better lots and views resell strongest
  • Roof and HVAC age drive the insurance quote
  • Interior lots are where buyers overpay
Jon Brooks, Momentum Realty
Operator Note

Most buyers overpay on interior lots in the back half of the community. A sharp renovation can distract you, but the weaker resale position follows the lot, not the finishes. We read the homesite before the kitchen.

Momentum analysis based on the community's structure, location, lot scarcity, and housing stock. Not a guarantee of future value.

Jon Brooks, Momentum Realty
Operator Note

The strongest value pocket is usually a renovated home on a good lot priced just under the next tier up. Buyers chasing the single biggest house often pay top prices for what is really a renovation project.

5 Mistakes Buyers Make in The Groves

15-Second Take
  • Calling the listing agent (who works for the seller)
  • Misjudging the renovation budget
  • Overpaying for an interior lot
  • Underbudgeting the carrying costs
  • Skipping the roof, HVAC, and systems check

The same five mistakes cost buyers the most in any market. Every one is avoidable with the right preparation before you tour.

The central location and the community setting are priced in. The deal is won or lost on condition, the lot, and the renovation math.

Which Lots & Views Hold Value Best

Where the value actually sits. Each home is shaded by its price per square foot (a value read, not just a price) and ringed by lot type, so you can see at a glance which pockets carry a real, durable premium and where a renovation play makes sense.

Value ($/sqft)
$261 value$401 premium
Lake / waterPreserveInterior

Fill = price per square foot; ring = lot type, inferred from listing descriptions. Sold homes are shown by realized $/sqft (lot type not always recorded). Asking and recent-sold figures from DBAAR; for orientation, not an appraisal.

15-Second Take
  • Pond and water-view lots hold value best
  • Interior lots are where buyers overpay
  • Updates matter as much as the lot
  • Waterfront lots need a flood-zone check
  • Read the lot and the water before the finishes

In an established community with interior ponds, the homesite is a real part of your money. Pond and water-view lots are scarce and hold value, while interior lots are where buyers overpay, and the house itself can always be updated. Read the lot and the water, pull the flood map for any waterfront parcel, then weigh the renovation level against recent comps.

  • Confirm dues and flood zone per home

The takeaway

Selling here is won on condition and view, not the Zestimate. The right number comes from closed comps matched to your renovation level and lot.

Sold-to-list and days-on-market figures reflect Momentum Realty listings versus the Jacksonville metro average, year to date. Your home's result depends on pricing, condition, lot, view, and preparation.

In The Groves, condition and view decide your number

Because buyers here are weighing your home against renovated comps and cross-shopping Countryside, a home priced to the community average instead of its true condition and view either leaves money on the table or sits. A renovated kitchen, newer roof and HVAC, and a golf or lake view all deserve to show up in your price, and a buyer pool reading renovation math needs to be shown why your home is worth it. We build that case with real comps and a pricing strategy for the current market.
