Hawthorne is a community of 73 homes in Hawthorne, Putnam County, built between 1945 and 2023 (median 1984.5), with a median living area of about 1,934 square feet. 45% of parcels are homesteaded, the owner-occupancy proxy in the Florida DOR assessment roll (2025 roll, public records).

Hawthorne Hawthorne is a small, condition-driven market in Putnam County — 178 homes, a nearly century-wide age range, and a median price that reflects an older, work-in-progress housing stock rather than uniform new construction.

The defining fact here is the year-built range: 1930 to 2023. That is not a subdivision with one floor plan repeated a hundred times; it is a patchwork of pre-war homes, mid-century builds, and the occasional new construction. The median year of roughly 1980 tells you most of the inventory is decades old, which puts systems, roofs, and foundations at the center of any offer.

With a homestead share of about 40 percent, a meaningful slice of these homes are not owner-occupied, which is consistent with a market that includes rental and investment holdings alongside primary residences. At a median price of $232,500 and a median of 38 days on market, this is a place to move deliberately, price against comparable condition, and budget for the improvements an older home tends to need.

In a market this varied, the median tells you almost nothing about the house in front of you. We underwrite each property on its own condition, age, and square footage rather than the neighborhood average, and with a 38-day median you have the leverage to negotiate and the time to inspect. Our job is to tell you which of these older homes is worth the work and which one is a money pit wearing fresh paint.

Confirm the current HOA dues, exactly what they cover, and any CDD bond or special assessment for a specific address before you offer.
