Hickory Cove
Homes for Sale in Jacksonville, FL
True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.
As of September 2026, the MLS records 25 closed sales in Hickory Cove in Jacksonville, FL since 2001, the most recent in June 2025. 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 $5,460 ($4,720 with the full homestead exemption).
Hickory Cove is a small pocket of 72 homes with a build range running from 1940 all the way to 2023, and that spread is the story. The median year built lands at 1989, so you are looking at a genuinely mixed-vintage inventory — prewar-era bones, late-century tract stock, and a handful of new construction all trading in the same market. Price here is driven by condition and vintage far more than by any single number; two homes of similar size can sit well apart depending on which end of that eight-decade range they fall on.
With so few homes, this is a thin market — individual listings move the picture. The homestead share sits at about 72%, which tells you most of these are owner-occupied and turnover is limited; sellers here are not under pressure to dump, and buyers should expect to wait for the right home rather than pick from a deep shelf. Median living area is just under 2,000 square feet, so the housing stock is mid-sized rather than sprawling.
The 60-Second Overview
Hickory Cove is a compact, mostly owner-occupied enclave in Jacksonville where the homes span more than eight decades of construction — meaning your search is really a search for the right vintage and the right condition, not a uniform product.

Who Hickory Cove is best for.
Best for
- Buyers targeting a mid-sized home around 2,000 square feet who can be patient with limited listings
- Owner-occupiers planning to stay, comfortable in a small, low-turnover pocket
- Buyers willing to budget for condition and older-home upkeep, or to pay up for newer construction
Probably not for
- Buyers who need to choose from a large, active inventory right now
- Buyers wanting a uniform, single-era subdivision with predictable pricing
- Investors counting on frequent turnover, since most homes here are owner-held

The Hickory Cove buying strategy.
If we were buying in Hickory Cove 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 Hickory Cove.
A mixed-vintage pocket, not a uniform subdivision
The defining trait of Hickory Cove is its range: homes built as early as 1940 sit alongside construction as recent as 2023, with the median at 1989. Practically, that means the inspection matters more here than in a same-year subdivision. Older homes may carry updated or original systems; newer builds carry newer everything. You cannot assume anything from the address alone, and price reflects that condition-driven spread rather than a tidy per-square-foot rule.
At roughly 1,963 square feet median living space, the homes lean mid-sized. With only 72 homes total and about 72% held as homestead, listings are infrequent and each one carries weight. That works for a patient buyer and for a seller with a well-kept home, since the limited supply keeps competing inventory low.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Hickory Cove. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
