True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.
As of October 2026, the MLS records 14 closed sales in Kennedy Tract in Jacksonville, FL since 2003, the most recent in May 2024. Across Jacksonville as a whole, 7,643 homes closed in the last 12 months at a median of $315,000, 43 median days on market, with 4,168 homes for sale today. At that median and Duval County's FY2025-26 rate of 17.86 mills, annual property tax runs about $5,630 ($4,890 with the full homestead exemption).
Kennedy Tract's 265 active listings span homes built as early as 1907 through new construction completed in 2024, with a median build year of 1956. That is an unusually wide age spread for one Jacksonville community, and it is the biggest driver of value swings here: a home near the median build year of 1956 sells on a different basis than one finished in 2024, even on the same street. At a median of 1,139 square feet, most of the stock leans compact, so lot size and renovation condition carry more of the pricing story than square footage alone.
Only 27.1% of homes here carry a homestead exemption, a lower share than more established subdivisions typically show, which points to meaningful investor and non-owner-occupant activity in the tract. Buyers and sellers should expect more variability in condition and purpose from one listing to the next. Current MLS data show no identified community amenities, so this is a location-and-structure play, not an amenity-driven one.

The 60-Second Overview
Kennedy Tract is a 265-home Duval County pocket where construction dated to 1907 and construction completed in 2024 sit on the same rolls, a spread that rewards buyers who evaluate each home on its own build year and condition rather than assuming tract-wide consistency.

Who Kennedy is best for.
Best for
- Buyers who want to evaluate one home at a time on build year and condition rather than lean on neighborhood-wide consistency.
- Buyers comfortable with a compact living-space footprint near the median of 1,139 square feet.
- Investors or renovation-minded buyers who are not dependent on a formal amenity package.
Probably not for
- Buyers who want a single, consistent construction vintage across the tract rather than a spread from 1907 to 2024.
- Buyers who require on-site community amenities like a pool or clubhouse as part of the purchase.
- Buyers who want assurance that most homes in the tract are owner-occupied rather than investor-held before purchasing.

The Kennedy buying strategy.
If we were buying in Kennedy 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 Kennedy.
One tract, two build eras
The 265 homes that make up Kennedy Tract carry a year-built range of 1907 to 2024 and a median build year of 1956. That spread means due diligence has to happen at the individual-home level: systems, structure, and layout in a home from the earlier end of that range look nothing like what you get in a 2024 build, regardless of address. Living space also runs compact, with a median of 1,139 square feet, so buyers comparing this tract to larger-footprint neighborhoods should adjust expectations on room count and layout rather than assume comparable square footage.
Ownership patterns add another layer: just 27.1% of homes carry a homestead exemption, a signal that a meaningful share of the tract is held by investors or non-primary-residence owners. Current MLS listings show no identified community amenities, so nothing here is priced on a clubhouse, pool, or planned-community package — value is tied to the lot and the structure itself.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Kennedy. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
With a year-built range running from 1907 to 2024 and no identified community amenity package to fall back on, Kennedy Tract rewards an agent who evaluates each of these 265 homes individually rather than pricing off a neighborhood template. Momentum's local MLS access lets us pull the actual build year, square footage, and homestead status on a given listing before you write an offer, and that per-home read matters more here than in a tract with uniform construction.
