The Homes & Style
Hampton Park is a gated community of larger homes, so it prices above the open Baymeadows average. The for-sale inventory is small, which makes any single median noisy, and recent third-party listings in 2026 reflect a range that depends heavily on the home size and the lot. Confirm current pricing for a specific home.
For county context, the NEFAR April 2026 report put the Duval County median single-family price at about $332,500, a county-wide figure. As a gated community of 2,000 to 4,000-plus-square-foot homes, Hampton Park generally sits above that level.
Hampton Park is a single-family community, so the variation is in home size, age within the early-2000s build, and whether a home backs to a preserve or a creek.
Homes range from about 2,000 to more than 4,000 square feet, built mostly in the early 2000s, in a range of floor plans on standard and larger lots.
Many homes border forest or a creek, which adds privacy and a natural view and carries a premium over interior lots.
Living Here
Hampton Park carries a full amenity package centered on its private clubhouse, which is a large part of the appeal.
The community is built around a private clubhouse and social center with swimming pools, giving residents a gathering place and recreation inside the gate.
Tennis and basketball courts, soccer fields, and an enclosed playground round out the amenities for active residents and buyers.
Everyday shopping and dining sit along the Baymeadows Road and Southside corridors, with the St. Johns Town Center about 15 minutes away for big-box and upscale options.
Hampton Park prices above the open neighborhoods around it for the gate and the amenities. Decide what the security and the clubhouse are worth to you before you compare to non-gated options.
Homes built in the early 2000s may be on an original or first-replacement roof, which drives the insurance quote. Confirm the roof age before you offer.
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 Hampton Park 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 Hampton Park 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
Against Hampton Glen, the established amenity community a few minutes away, Hampton Park adds a gate and generally larger early-2000s homes, while Hampton Glen counters with about 400 homes from the 1990s onward and a comparable amenity package; the choice often comes down to the gate and the specific home. Against the open Baymeadows neighborhoods nearby, Hampton Park asks the premium that a gated, amenity-rich community carries over a plain subdivision, and earns it with larger homes and the clubhouse. Against the higher-end Deerwood-area addresses, it trades private-golf prestige for a lower price and HOA-funded amenities with no club dues. We compare them on the real HOA lines and lot-matched comps, not the listing photos.
Who It Fits
Hampton Park fits buyers who want gated, amenity-rich single-family living in a central Baymeadows location with quick 9A and I-295 access to the beaches and the Town Center, who want larger early-2000s homes, many on forest or creek lots, and who value a clubhouse, pools, tennis, and fields without a mandatory club membership. It is the wrong fit for buyers who want new construction with a builder warranty, who want the lowest possible price or HOA, who do not value a gate, or who are not prepared to budget roof and systems on an early-2000s home or to check the flood zone on a creek-adjacent lot.
