Jon's Current Read
"Jennings Farm is a new-construction value play in a corridor being reshaped by the First Coast Expressway, so the read is about the lot, carrying cost, and new-versus-resale. Active building keeps supply in the mix while improving access and newer homes drive demand. The number to watch is the all-in monthly with any CDD, plus the lot."
Jon Brooks, founder, Momentum Realty · Updated June 2026
The 60-Second Overview
Jennings Farm market snapshot (as of June 14, 2026): the median sale price is about $544K ($185 per sq ft), with homes averaging 231 days on market and 7.4 months of supply, a buyer-leaning market. Values are down 3% over the past year and up -4% since 2024, based on 47 recent closings in live realMLS data.
Jennings Farm is a newer master-planned community in Middleburg, Clay County, built largely in the 2020s with single-family homes from national builders. It sits in a part of northwestern Clay that is growing quickly, with sidewalks, ponds, and a community amenity area, offering newer, lower-maintenance homes at a value relative to communities closer to Jacksonville.
The community is positioned in a corridor being reshaped by the new First Coast Expressway, which is materially improving access from this side of Clay County toward the Westside and beyond. Everyday shopping and services are a short drive toward Blanding Boulevard and Orange Park.
Because Jennings Farm is young and still building, buyers weigh new construction against lightly used resales, with incentives, lot premiums, and any CDD assessment shaping the real cost. Clay County schools serve the area.

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 Homes & Style
Jennings Farm is a newer master-planned community in Middleburg, Clay County, built largely in the last several years with single-family homes from national builders. Floor plans run from efficient three-bedroom homes to larger four and five-bedroom layouts, most with two-car garages, open living areas, and the energy efficiency that comes with recent construction. Because it is still a young community, buyers can find both new construction and lightly used resales.
The practical decision here is new versus resale and which lot fits. Builder inventory competes directly with resale, so incentives, lot premiums, and timelines matter as much as the floor plan. Pond and preserve lots carry premiums and resell better than homes backing a busy through-street.
Living Here
Day-to-day life at Jennings Farm centers on a community amenity area and the convenience of Middleburg and Clay County around it. The community is built for newer-home, lower-maintenance living, with sidewalks, ponds, and common areas, in a part of Clay that is growing quickly as the First Coast Expressway reshapes access.
Everyday shopping and services are a short drive toward Blanding Boulevard and Orange Park, with Clay County schools serving the area. The trade is a car-dependent, suburban setting in exchange for newer homes, value relative to communities closer to Jacksonville, and quick access to the new expressway.
Before You Offer
Price the all-in monthly first. Jennings Farm carries an HOA, and many Clay master plans of this era carry a CDD assessment on the tax bill, so confirm both and pull any CDD balance and remaining term for the parcel before you judge a list price.
Compare new construction to resale carefully. With builders still active in and around the community, weigh incentives, lot premiums, and timelines against a move-in-ready resale in a delivered phase.
Pull the flood map. Parts of Middleburg saw serious creek flooding in past hurricanes, so confirm the flood zone and elevation for the specific parcel, especially anything near water or low ground.
Confirm school assignment by address with Clay County Schools, verify internet options, and drive the Blanding and First Coast Expressway routes at your real departure time.
Jennings Farm vs. Comparable Clay Communities
Jennings Farm competes with the other newer master plans of Middleburg and the Lake Asbury corridor. Against established Middleburg acreage and older subdivisions, it offers newer construction, sidewalks, and an amenity area in exchange for smaller lots and HOA and CDD costs.
Against Fleming Island and the Oakleaf plans, Jennings Farm trades a deep, built-out amenity package for newer homes at a value price in a corridor being reshaped by the First Coast Expressway. The honest shorthand: pick Jennings Farm for newer, lower-maintenance homes and value near the expressway; pick an established community for maturity and amenities.
Who Jennings Farm Fits Best
Jennings Farm fits buyers who want newer, lower-maintenance homes at a value price in growing Clay County, anyone positioned to benefit from the First Coast Expressway, and commuters working within Clay or toward the Westside who want new construction without estate pricing.
Jennings Farm is a weaker fit for buyers who want acreage and no fees, those seeking mature trees and established streets, or anyone who wants a deep resort amenity package or a short beach commute.

The factors that actually move value in Jennings Farm, condition, lot, and the renovation math, read from current listings and recent sales.
15-Second Take
Renovation math decides the deal
Better lots and views resell strongest
Roof and HVAC age drive the insurance quote
Interior lots are where buyers overpay
Proprietary Data
The renovation premium.
Updated homes ask about 8% more per square foot than original-condition homes, and they tend to sell faster. In an all-resale market, condition is the single biggest swing in value, which is why reading the renovation math is the whole game.
Asking price per square foot
Renovated$234
Original$217
Median days on market
Renovated414
Original50
From current Jennings Farm listings (renovated 8, original 33); condition inferred from listing descriptions, asking not closed figures. The exact number depends on a specific home's updates, lot, and view, which is the read we do before you offer.
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.
Lot Value
The lot premium.
On a preferred homesite (water, preserve, corner, or a larger lot), the homesite is the part of your money the market gives back at resale. The house can be renovated; the lot cannot, so premium lots hold their value better than interior ones. How much more they command varies by frontage, view, and condition, which is why we read it home by home against real comparable sales rather than a single headline figure.
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.

5 Mistakes Buyers Make in Jennings Farm
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.
1
Calling the listing agent
The agent on the sign works for the seller. In a market where condition swings price by hundreds of thousands, negotiating against that agent with no one in your corner is the costliest move of all.
2
Misjudging the renovation math
A dated home looks like a deal until you price the roof, HVAC, pool, and full modernization honestly. Underbudget the reno and the bargain becomes the expensive house.
3
Overpaying for an interior lot
A premium homesite (water, preserve, or a preferred position) carries a real, durable premium. Pay a top price for an interior lot and you are buying the weakest version of the value.
4
Underbudgeting the carrying costs
Two similar homes can cost very differently to own once the HOA, any CDD, insurance, and upkeep are priced in. Buyers who do not run the full monthly carrying cost misread the real number.
5
Skipping the systems check
An older home means older systems unless updated. Roof age, HVAC age, pool equipment, and prior renovations drive both price and insurability, and a thorough inspection matters more here than in a new build.
“
In a young community the amenities are priced in. The deal is won on the lot, the phase, and the all-in monthly.

The lot cannot be changed; the finishes can
Delivered phases resell better than raw new ones
Read the lot and any CDD before the finishes
In an actively building community the lot and the phase are the durable part of your money. Pond views, preserve buffers, and quiet streets in delivered phases command and hold a premium over busy through-streets. Read the lot, the flood zone, and any CDD level first, then price the home against it.

Jennings Farm carries an HOA covering the common areas and amenity area, and many newer Clay master plans of this type carry a CDD assessment on the tax bill. Confirm both the HOA dues and any CDD balance and remaining term for the specific home.
The HOA funds the amenity area, ponds, and common areas. Where a CDD exists, it funds the roads and amenities and is paid through the tax bill.
There is no country club. Recreation is the community amenity area, ponds, and sidewalks, plus nearby Clay County parks.

In Jennings Farm, condition and view decide your number
Because buyers here are weighing your home against renovated comps and cross-shopping Fleming Island, 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.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the $110 HOA actually buy?
Per listing data: the gate, the $3M amenity center and pool, the common grounds, and pest control among the reported inclusions, with no CDD underneath. That is a strong package per dollar, but the association is young and the dues will evolve as the community records and the builders hand over control. Ask for the current budget, the reserve schedule, and the transition timeline from builder control to homeowner control, the handover is where young HOAs get interesting.
Is the gate staffed or electronic?
Plan on an electronic-access gate rather than a 24/7 staffed gatehouse, which is the norm at this price point, staffed gates are a six-figure annual line item that usually requires a CDD or a far larger HOA. Confirm the current setup, visitor-access system, and any planned changes with the association; a gate manages traffic and adds a perception of privacy, but it is not a security guarantee, and we say that to every gated-community client.
What is the rental and investor picture?
New no-CDD communities near a high school and a retail corridor attract investor interest, and LGI's fast-closing spec model can amplify it. Ask for the association's current lease restrictions (minimum terms, caps, approval requirements) in writing, both because it affects who your neighbors are and because lender and resale treatment can shift if rental concentration climbs.
What about Black Creek, flooding, and insurance?
Black Creek is the area's blessing and its homework assignment: the creek and its tributaries define Middleburg's character and its flood maps. The community's homes are new construction built to current code and elevation requirements, but flood designation is parcel-specific, so pull the FEMA zone for the exact lot and get a real homeowners-plus-flood quote on the specific address before you write. New-build insurance pricing is generally favorable; creek-adjacent exceptions exist.
Where is Jennings Farm located?
Jennings Farm is in Middleburg, Clay County, Florida (ZIP 32068), off the SR-21 (Blanding Boulevard)/CR-220 corner, directly across from Middleburg High School. LGI Homes' information center is at 3910 Scots Mill Lane. Publix, Winn-Dixie, and Walmart are minutes away, and the First Coast Expressway's Blanding interchange is a few miles up the corridor.
Is Jennings Farm a gated community?
Yes. Jennings Farm is a gated community, which is genuinely uncommon in Clay County at this price point, and the gate is funded through the HOA rather than a CDD.
Does Jennings Farm have a CDD?
No. Both LGI Homes and Dream Finders advertise Jennings Farm as a no-CDD community. Most comparable amenitized Clay master plans carry a community development district assessment on the property-tax bill, often roughly $1,500-$2,500+ a year, so the absence here is the centerpiece of the value story. We still verify the parcel's full tax-bill lines in writing before any client signs.
What is the HOA fee at Jennings Farm?
Third-party listing data shows association dues around $110 a month, with pest control reported among the inclusions. That HOA carries the gate and the $3 million amenity center with no CDD underneath it. Fee schedules change as sections record, so get the current amount, the inclusions, and any capital contribution due at closing in writing for your exact lot.
Who builds in Jennings Farm?
Two builders sell behind the same gate: LGI Homes, which held its grand opening here in January 2025 and sells move-in-ready homes from $357,900 with the CompleteHome Plus included-upgrade package, and Dream Finders Homes, which builds larger homes on 60-foot homesites from $416,990. The community entrance sign reads Est. 2021, and Dream Finders was building here before LGI arrived.
What does LGI's CompleteHome Plus package include?
Stainless-steel Whirlpool kitchen appliances, quartz countertops, recessed lighting, smart-home technology, and professional front-yard landscaping, included in the published price rather than sold as design-studio upgrades. It is the core of LGI's pitch: the advertised price is closer to the real price than at option-heavy builders.
What do homes cost in Jennings Farm?
As of mid-2026, LGI's nine floor plans run from $357,900 (the 1,211 sq ft Pecan) to about $504,900, spanning 1,211-2,938 square feet, with advertised principal-and-interest payments of $1,629-$2,299 a month. Dream Finders' 60-foot homesites start at $416,990, with quick move-ins advertised from $418,990 to $629,990 and savings of $12K-$53K per home. All of it moves monthly with incentives.
Is the amenity center actually built?
Yes. LGI announced the grand opening of the $3 million amenity center on July 1, 2025: resort-style swimming pool, pickleball courts, children's playground, party lawn, dog park, and an open-air pavilion, with Dream Finders also advertising a covered pavilion along Black Creek. Unlike most new Clay communities, the amenities here are delivered, not a timeline promise.
Do I need my own agent to buy from LGI, and how does that work?
LGI welcomes and pays buyer-agent commissions, but with a hard rule: your agent must personally accompany you and register you on your first visit to the community. Show up alone, tour, and give your contact information, and LGI may treat you as an unrepresented house lead, which can cost you your representation on that purchase. Loop your agent in before you ever drive through the gate; it costs you nothing and preserves your negotiating help.
What financing promotions does LGI offer?
As of mid-2026, LGI has advertised builder-paid closing costs and a 3.99% (6.764% APR) promotional rate on eligible FHA/VA 5/1 ARM loans, fixed for five years and then adjustable, through its affiliated mortgage broker. Read the structure carefully: a 5/1 ARM is not a 30-year fixed, the promo generally requires the affiliated lender, and the advertised monthly excludes taxes, insurance, and HOA. We run the promo against an outside lender's quote before clients commit.
What schools serve Jennings Farm?
Listing data points to Middleburg Elementary and Middleburg High School, which sits roughly 0.4 miles away, directly across the corridor; sources differ on the middle school (Dream Finders lists Lake Asbury Middle, while Wilkinson Junior High is the nearby Middleburg campus). Clay County's district earned an A grade from the state, but GreatSchools rates Middleburg High 4/10, so the builders' A-rated-schools line deserves a closer look. Confirm exact zoning with Clay County District Schools for the specific lot.
Is Jennings Farm in a flood zone?
Parts of the Middleburg area sit near Black Creek and its tributaries, and the community itself advertises Black Creek access, so flood designation is a lot-by-lot question. Pull the FEMA zone for the exact parcel and get a real insurance quote on the specific home before you write the offer; we do this for every client here.
How does Jennings Farm compare to Amberly?
Amberly (Dream Finders for GreenPointe, CR-218 corridor) opens lower, from $299,990, with a deeper plan lineup, but it is not gated and carries a CDD that early listings have shown at roughly $2,100 a year, and its amenities were still building out as of mid-2026. Jennings Farm costs more at entry but is gated, has no CDD, and its $3M amenity center is open. Over a ten-year hold, the CDD difference alone is roughly $20,000; run the total monthlies side by side for the actual homes.
How does Jennings Farm compare to Double Branch?
Double Branch is the closest structural rival: Pulte, no CDD, from roughly $340,490 to the $520s, HOA around $174 a quarter, and under a mile from a First Coast Expressway interchange. It is cheaper to carry month to month but is not gated and has no $3M amenity center; Jennings Farm trades a higher HOA for the gate and the delivered amenities. Which wins depends on whether you value the gate and pool more than the lower dues.
What is Trails West, and should I compare it?
Trails West is LGI's own 529-home master plan in west Jacksonville (Normandy Boulevard at McClelland Road), opened May 2026, with the same buying process from the $240s. It is the budget sibling: meaningfully cheaper, but planned amenities (trails, soccer field, dog parks, tot lot) rather than a delivered $3M center, no gate, and a Duval address with different schools and taxes. If the Jennings Farm payment stretches you, it is the honest next stop.
Is now a good time to buy in Jennings Farm?
Both builders are advertising aggressive incentives, rate promotions on the LGI side and $12K-$53K advertised savings on Dream Finders quick move-ins, which tells you the leverage is with prepared buyers in this corridor right now. The risk is overpaying the base price while being dazzled by the promo; the play is to negotiate the home, the lot premium, and the financing as separate line items, which is exactly what your own agent is for.
