Jon's Current Read

Hickory Hills homes were built between 2001 and 2005, with a median year built of 2003 and a median living area of 2,429 square feet — that combination of a consistent build era and larger floor plans is what anchors pricing here. The median sale price sits at $349,900, or about $160 per square foot, and that per-square-foot figure is the one to watch: it tells you how much of the price is the house itself rather than the lot or finish level.

Right now there are zero active listings in Hickory Hills against 11 closings in the most recent window and a median of 30 days on market — a market with essentially nothing available to show a buyer. Prices are down 2.7% year over year even with that scarcity, though they remain up 180% since 2012. For a seller, the lack of competing listings is leverage; for a buyer, it means being ready to move the moment something surfaces.

Hickory Hills right now

🟡 Balanced market. 3.0 months of supply and 50% of the inventory already under contract put buyers and sellers on roughly even footing.Why it matters: months of supply is how long today's inventory would last at today's sales pace; under-contract share is the portion of homes for sale that already have a buyer.Momentum Research analysis of realMLS records, as of July 14, 2026. Confidence: High (6 active and pending listings, 11 closed sales in 12 months).

🟡 Off the recent peak. The trailing-12-month median ($350K) is down 2.7% from the prior 12 months ($360K) and up 180% since 2012. With about a dozen sales a year, a single closing can swing this number, so read the level and the decade, not one year's move.Momentum Research, record-level realMLS closed sales, 12-month windows ending July 14. Confidence: Medium (11 and 8 sales in the two windows).

Hickory Hills is a community of 242 homes in Jacksonville, Duval County, built between 2001 and 2005 (median 2003.0), with a median living area of about 2,429 square feet. 67% of parcels are homesteaded, the owner-occupancy proxy in the Florida DOR assessment roll (2025 roll, public records).

Probably not for

  • Investors expecting rapid appreciation given the -2.7% year-over-year trend

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.

The takeaway

What is actually shaping value around Hickory Hills is the Westside's industrial jobs build-out a short drive away: Cosentino's first U.S. manufacturing plant at the nearby Cecil Commerce Center and the ongoing AllianceFlorida logistics growth off Normandy. Each item is sourced and linked.

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

1

Inspect the systems first. At 2001-to-2005 vintage, roof, HVAC, and water heater are at or near replacement age; permit history shows which homes already did the work.

2

Walk the street at rush hour. Lots nearest I-10 hear it; interior loops are noticeably quieter.

3

Read the renovation math. The spread between an updated home and an original one is the biggest pricing variable here.

4

Pull the flood zone and a bindable insurance quote during your inspection period, so the real monthly cost is known before you commit.

5

Match to true comps, and cross-shop Crystal Springs and the other Westside options to weigh fees against features.

Best Buy
An updated home on a quiet interior loop, priced to its condition
Biggest Risk
Underbudgeting roof, HVAC, and water-heater replacement on an original home

The Homes & Style

Per neighborhoods.com fetched June 4, 2026, actives ran 289,900 to 499,000 dollars with a median sale around 349,950 dollars at roughly 166 dollars per square foot.

That median keeps Hickory Hills squarely in the attainable middle of the metro, under new-construction pricing in the same corridor and well under anything comparable east of the river.

The buyer pool is first-time and first-move-up buyers, I-10 commuters, and value shoppers who want post-2000 construction without master-plan fees.

Hickory Hills went up in a tight 2001 to 2005 window, so the variation here is size band and condition rather than era.

Homes from about 1,592 square feet upward, the entry point of the community and the segment that competes with older Westside stock on price.

Larger homes pushing toward 2,808 square feet, the move-up tier that drives the top of the price band toward the high 400s.

The main spine off Axson Road and the quieter loops behind it; interior lots trade a little calmer than the homes closest to the entrance.

At twenty-plus years old, the spread between a renovated kitchen-and-roof home and an original one is the biggest pricing variable in the neighborhood.

Living Here

The amenity story is intentionally thin, which is the whole reason the dues stay in the mid 200s a year.

Entry and common-ground upkeep are what the modest dues cover; there is no clubhouse or pool.

A public park option close to the neighborhood covers fields and play space without an HOA bill attached.

Not an amenity in the brochure sense, but the close interstate access is the feature residents use most.

Groceries, pharmacies, and daily errands sit minutes away along Normandy Boulevard.

The Normandy Boulevard corridor covers groceries and daily errands a few minutes south, the box stores cluster at Normandy and I-295, and downtown dining is a quick fifteen-minute shot east on I-10.

Hickory Hills in Jacksonville is not the Hickory Village community in Yulee, but aggregators and map searches occasionally cross-pollinate the two; double-check the county and ZIP on any listing before you drive out.

Most sources quote 235 to 275 dollars a year, but some sections report dues near 21 dollars a month, which annualizes a bit differently; the management company has the only number that counts.

A tight 2001 to 2005 build window means comps here are unusually clean: same era, similar systems, similar construction, so a well-priced listing is easy to defend and an overpriced one is easy to spot.

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 Hickory Hills 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 Hickory Hills 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

Most buyers weighing Hickory Hills are cross-shopping the other attainable Westside neighborhoods where the money still goes further than the hot corridors. Here is the honest shorthand.

CommunityThe trade-off
Crystal SpringsComparable established Westside value at a similar price point; trades Hickory Hills' tight 2001-to-2005 consistency for a different mix of era and stock, with the choice usually coming down to the specific home.
Argyle ForestLarger master-planned Westside area with HOA sections, more amenities, and a deeper inventory; trades the low-fee simplicity for community recreation and more choice.
Country CreekOlder 1970s-to-1990s brick-ranch value with big lots and mostly no HOA; trades Hickory Hills' newer block construction for larger lots and the no-fee freedom.

The honest verdict: if you want consistent early-2000s block construction with a light HOA, no CDD, and a three-minute I-10 on-ramp, Hickory Hills is one of the cleaner value plays on the Westside. If you want community amenities or a bigger, older lot, the master-planned and brick-ranch options nearby are the right field to shop, and we will help you weigh the fees against the features.

Who It Fits

Hickory Hills fits if you want

  • Attainable, consistent early-2000s block construction under new-build pricing.
  • A light HOA and no CDD, with carrying costs that round to nothing.
  • A three-minute I-10 on-ramp and a quick fifteen-minute downtown run.
  • Clean comps from a tight 2001-to-2005 build window for easy pricing.
  • A settled, low-drama neighborhood with mature yards and no construction traffic.

Consider elsewhere if you want

  • Community amenities, a pool, a clubhouse, or a gated entrance.
  • New construction with a builder warranty and the latest finishes.
  • A larger lot or acreage, since these are standard production lots.
  • To avoid interstate noise entirely; the streets nearest I-10 hear it.
  • A turnkey home with no updates, since roofs and systems are at replacement age.
The takeaway

Three honest price bands. Condition and lot, not the square footage alone, decide where a home lands.

The Entry
$242K to $340K

Original-condition homes around 1,592 square feet that need updating, the value route into a post-2000 Westside home.

Jon Brooks, Momentum Realty
Operator Note

The trap here is a beautifully staged original-condition home. Staging is cheap; a roof, HVAC, and a full modernization are not. We price the real renovation before you fall for the listing photos, because in an all-resale market that number is the difference between a deal and the most expensive house on the street.

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.

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 Hickory Hills

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.

Most pages slap one estimate on a whole subdivision. Here the money is made on condition, the size band, and the street.

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.

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 realMLS; for orientation, not an appraisal.

15-Second Take
  • Standard production lots from the 2001-to-2005 build
  • Interior loops trade calmer than the homes near the entrance
  • Lots nearest I-10 hear the interstate; walk the street first
  • Condition and the size band drive price more than the lot
  • Match to clean same-era comps, not the subdivision average

Hickory Hills is a production neighborhood from a tight 2001-to-2005 window, so the lots are standard and consistent rather than the differentiator. What varies is the street and the size band: interior loops trade a little calmer than the homes closest to the entrance and to I-10, and the larger plans toward 2,808 square feet drive the top of the price band. Because the comps are unusually clean, the lot matters less than condition; read the systems and the street, then price the home against same-era sales.

HOA & No CDD

15-Second Take
  • Light HOA, roughly $235 to $275 a year (confirm your section)
  • No CDD on the tax bill
  • Dues cover entry and common-ground upkeep only
  • No clubhouse, pool, gate, or amenity fees
  • Confirm the exact section dues before you offer

HOA dues run roughly $235 to $275 a year per neighborhoods.com, with some sections reported around $21 a month; confirm the figure for your specific section in writing before contract. There is no CDD in Hickory Hills, so the carrying cost is essentially the millage plus a token HOA, with no extra assessment line on the tax bill.

The modest dues cover the entry and common-ground upkeep and basic covenant administration. There is no clubhouse, pool, gate, or amenity campus; a public park nearby covers fields and play space without an HOA bill attached.

There is no country club or community amenity package in Hickory Hills. Recreation is public and nearby, and the close I-10 access is the feature residents use most.

The takeaway

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

Because buyers here are weighing your home against renovated comps and cross-shopping Crystal Springs, 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.

Price History: What Homes Here Have Actually Sold For

Median sale price over the trailing 12 months ending July 14 of each year, from record-level realMLS closed sales. Same methodology as every appreciation figure on this page: the 2026 point ($350K) IS the median in the snapshot above, and the move from 2025 ($360K) IS the -2.7% one-year change.

Windows contain 5 to 23 sales each (11 in the current window); every figure carries its sample size, and thin markets swing on single closings. Source: Data provided by realMLS. Deemed reliable but not guaranteed.

If we were buying in Hickory Hills today, this is the order of operations we would run for our clients.

1

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.

2

Match the home to real comps. Recent sales of similar condition and lot, not the asking price, tell you what a home is worth.

3

Move deliberately, not desperately. Neither side has a decisive edge, so a well-prepared, fairly-priced offer wins without overpaying.

4

Line up financing and inspection early. A pre-approval and an inspection plan let you act fast and negotiate from evidence.

5

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 Hills.

Best Buy
Best for buyers who want a larger, established early-2000s home and can move quickly when one of the rare listings appears.
Biggest Risk
Zero inventory means long waits between chances to make an offer.
Sweet Spot
The sweet spot is a move-up buyer prioritizing square footage and a fixed 2001-2005 build era over new construction.
Avoid If
Avoid if you need to buy on a strict timeline — with no active listings, there is nothing to tour today.

What the numbers say

The price trend is worth sitting with: Hickory Hills is down 2.7% year over year, but still up 180% since 2012. That long arc matters more than the single-year dip for anyone evaluating this as a longer hold rather than a quick flip, and it argues for weighing the per-square-foot figure ($160) alongside the median price rather than the median alone.

Supply is the other half of the story. Zero active listings against 11 closings in the recent window and a median 30-day time on market puts a market heat score of 46 on this community — a moderate reading that reflects steady, not frantic, turnover. With 67.4% of the 242 homes carrying a homestead exemption, most of this inventory simply isn't cycling through the market in a given year.

The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Hickory Hills. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.

Momentum Intelligence Scores are our proprietary, qualitative assessment on a 0 to 10 scale, built from the record-level market data on this page. They are a framework for comparing communities, not a guarantee of future value and not advice on a specific home; unlike an automated value estimate they do not price your home, they grade the community on evidence you can inspect. Composite is the plain average of the 5 factors (7.7). Basis: Long-Term Appreciation +180% since 2012; Recent Direction -2.7% year-over-year; Liquidity & Demand 3.0 months of supply; Owner Commitment 67% owner-occupied; Pricing Power 98.9% sale-to-list. Refreshed with each data update.

Why work with Momentum here

A community with zero active listings and a 67.4% homestead share doesn't behave like a typical resale market — pricing has to be built from recent closings and per-square-foot comps rather than what's currently on the shelf. We track the 2001-2005 build era's closings as they happen so a buyer is ready to act the moment something surfaces, and so a seller sets a number grounded in the actual $160-per-square-foot trend rather than a guess.
