Howards Run's price story starts with uniformity. Every one of the 38 homes here was built between 2015 and 2017 — a median year built of 2016 — and the median living area lands at 2,067 square feet. That kind of tight build window means less spread in finishes, systems, and layout than you'd find in an older, infill Duval County pocket, so valuation here tends to track condition and updates more than era.
Right now there are zero active listings in the community, and closed-sale activity has been thin, so there's essentially no live comp set to point to. That's a real signal for both sides: a seller has almost no direct competition to price against, and a buyer who wants in has to be ready to move the moment something surfaces rather than shop a list. A homestead share of 71.1% also points to a market where most owners have claimed the property as their primary residence, which typically means turnover here is driven by life events more than investor exits.
The 60-Second Overview
Howards Run market snapshot (as of August 20, 2026): the median sale price is about $325K ($181 per sq ft over the trailing 12 months of closed sales), and a median 48 days on market for closed sales.

The Howards Run buying strategy.
If we were buying in Howards Run 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 Howards Run.
A Small, Tightly Built Pocket of Duval County
With only 38 homes total and construction concentrated between 2015 and 2017 (median year built 2016), Howards Run reads more like a single, cohesive build phase than a neighborhood that grew and changed over decades. The median living area of 2,067 square feet gives a sense of the typical footprint, though current MLS data doesn't identify any specific community amenities tied to the neighborhood.
The market posture here is unusually quiet: zero active listings at present, and recent closed-sale activity has been limited. Combined with a homestead share of 71.1%, the picture is a small community where most owners are in place as a primary residence rather than cycling the property as a rental or flip — which helps explain why so little comes up for sale at any given time.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Howards Run. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
In a community this small and this thin on active inventory, generic search portals won't tell you much — there's nothing listed to search. Momentum's Duval County team tracks Howards Run at the tax-roll and off-market level, so when a homestead-exempt owner starts thinking about a move, or a rare listing surfaces, our clients hear about it before it's public rather than after.
