True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.
Over the 12 months ending 2026-11-12, 3 recorded sales closed at a median of $385,000, $192 per square foot, a median 5 days on market, sellers accepting 100% of original asking. At the median price and Clay County's FY2025-26 rate of 15.05 mills, annual property tax runs about $5,800 ($5,200 with the full homestead exemption).
Hillside's pricing story is straightforward: a single subdivision built between 1999 and 2003, with a median year built of 2001, so almost every home here is close in age and footprint — median living area runs 2,125 square feet. That consistency shows up in price per square foot, which sits at $187.67 across the community. There isn't a wide range of eras or lot sizes competing against each other; the spread in what a given home sells for comes down mostly to condition and updates, not vintage.
On the market side, the current median list-to-sale window is 10 days, based on closings tracked over the trailing four months — a fast pace for a community of only 53 homes total. With 77.4% of those homes carrying a homestead exemption, most of the housing stock functions as an owner-occupied primary residence rather than a rental, which typically keeps turnover modest even as listings move quickly once priced right.

The Hillside buying strategy.
If we were buying in Hillside 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 Hillside.
The Numbers Behind Hillside
At $187.67 per square foot on a median sale price of $367,500, Hillside prices around what you'd expect for a 2001-built home carrying 2,125 square feet of living space. The 53 homes that make up the community were all built within the same narrow window, so buyers and appraisers alike are comparing very similar product from one listing to the next.
No community amenities are identified from current MLS listings, so pricing here isn't propped up by a clubhouse, pool, or gated entry — it's a reflection of the house itself. With 77.4% of homes carrying a homestead exemption, most of the housing stock functions as an owner-occupied primary residence rather than a rental, which is typically a stabilizing factor in a market moving as fast as this one's 10-day median days on market.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Hillside. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.

Clay school district says one-mill referendum renews, not raises, property tax
The Clay County school district says the referendum on the upcoming ballot renews the one-mill levy voters first approved in 2020 at the same rate. The money funds school law enforcement contracts and compensation to retain and attract teachers and support staff. A citizens' advisory committee reviews spending, and the district says non-renewal would leave a funding shortfall.
What it may mean for the marketThe outcome sets school operating funding and staffing support for Clay County without changing the current millage rate. The site is about 15 miles southeast of Hillside.

FDOT held a St. Johns County open house on the final phase in January 2026.
