As of November 2026, the MLS records 28 closed sales in Hammond Forest in Jacksonville, FL since 2012, the most recent in June 2026. Across Jacksonville as a whole, 12,696 homes closed in the last 12 months at a median of $304,990, 42 median days on market, with 4,127 homes for sale today. At that median and Duval County's FY2025-26 rate of 17.86 mills, annual property tax runs about $5,450 ($4,710 with the full homestead exemption).
Hammond Forest is a small, established pocket of Jacksonville in Duval County - 43 homes total, with a median year built of 1990 and a build range that stretches from 1989 up through 2022, so the neighborhood is overwhelmingly older stock with the occasional newer build filled in. Median living space runs around 1,741 square feet, which reads as a modest, right-sized footprint rather than a community built around larger floor plans.
Right now there are zero active listings in Hammond Forest, so there is nothing currently on the market to benchmark against directly. That is a low-inventory posture: a buyer is waiting for the right listing to surface rather than choosing from a shelf, and a seller who does list faces limited direct competition inside the community itself. About 76.7% of homes here carry a homestead exemption, pointing to an owner-occupied base rather than a stock dominated by short-term or investor turnover.
Figures in this note are as of July 14, 2026. The live market numbers elsewhere on this page update nightly and are newer.
The 60-Second Overview
Hammond Forest is a compact, 43-home community in Jacksonville (Duval County) built primarily around 1989-1990, with no shared amenities identified in current MLS listings - a straightforward single-family footprint rather than an amenity-driven development.

Who Hammond Forest is best for.
Best for
- Buyers targeting a modest, roughly 1,741-square-foot home in an established Duval County pocket with no amenity overhead to factor in.
- Buyers comfortable watching a small, 43-home community patiently until the right listing surfaces, given zero active listings today.
- Buyers who value an owner-occupied setting, reflected in the community's 76.7% homestead-exemption share, over heavier rental turnover.
Probably not for
- Buyers who need active, comparable listings today to gauge pricing - there are none in Hammond Forest right now.
- Buyers who want on-site amenities as part of the purchase - none are identified in current listings.
- Buyers focused only on new construction - most of the 43 homes date to 1989-1990, with only isolated newer builds up to 2022.

The Hammond Forest buying strategy.
If we were buying in Hammond 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 Hammond Forest.
A Small, Owner-Occupied Pocket with No Listed Amenities
At 43 homes, Hammond Forest is a tight community rather than a sprawling subdivision. The median year built of 1990 anchors it firmly in a 1989-1990 construction wave for this part of Duval County, and while the build range runs all the way to 2022, that upper end reflects isolated newer construction rather than a broad redevelopment - most of the housing stock here is original-era. Median living area of 1,741 square feet keeps the community in modest-footprint territory, which tends to appeal to buyers prioritizing manageable size and maintenance over maximum square footage.
The current market posture is defined by absence: zero active listings and no community amenities identified from current MLS data. That combination means there is no clubhouse, pool, or shared recreation draw pulling buyers here - the appeal, if there is one, is the home and lot themselves. With 76.7% of homes carrying a homestead exemption, this reads as a neighborhood people buy to live in long-term rather than churn as rental or investment inventory, which can mean fewer, but more considered, listings when they do appear.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Hammond Forest. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
With zero active listings across only 43 homes, Hammond Forest is not a community you can shop by browsing a portal - it takes an agent tracking the neighborhood closely enough to know when something is about to hit the market, or coming off-market, before it's broadly visible. Given the high homestead-exemption share and the wide build-year spread from 1989 to 2022, pricing here also has to be worked home-by-home rather than off a generic neighborhood number, which is exactly the hand-prepared, comparable-driven approach we bring to a thin market like this one.
