True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.
Over the 12 months ending 2026-10-01, 4 recorded sales closed at a median of $160,000, $128 per square foot, a median 49 days on market, sellers accepting 90% of original asking (+100% versus the prior year). At the median price and Duval County's FY2025-26 rate of 17.86 mills, annual property tax runs about $2,860 ($2,120 with the full homestead exemption).

Price in Kenwood is driven by condition and vintage far more than by any standard formula. With a median year built of 1940 and a housing stock that stretches from the early twentieth century up to 2023, two homes on the same block can be worlds apart on price. The median sits at $139,000 and median price per square foot at roughly $127, but those numbers hide a wide spread: a renovated bungalow and a project house will not trade anywhere near each other.
The current posture is a slow, appreciating market. Median days on market is 79 — patient by area standards — while year-over-year is up 9.9%. For buyers, that combination means time to underwrite a deal properly without rushing. For sellers, it means a well-prepared, correctly-priced home can do well, but you should expect the marketing window to run longer than a hot suburban listing, and condition will decide where you land in the spread.

Who Kenwood is best for.
Best for
- Buyers targeting the median price point who can weigh renovation cost against a renovated home's price
- Renovation-minded buyers comfortable with pre-war construction and older systems
- Long-horizon owners who value a modest footprint around 1,382 square feet and an established location
Probably not for
- Buyers who want newer construction and low-maintenance systems
- Buyers on a tight timeline who cannot absorb a marketing and diligence window near 79 days
- Buyers expecting a narrow, predictable price band rather than a wide condition-driven spread

The Kenwood buying strategy.
If we were buying in Kenwood 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 Kenwood.
An older stock with a long runway
The homes here span more than a century, and the median build year of 1940 tells you most of what you need to know: this is a neighborhood of older construction, not new subdivisions. That age is the story behind the price spread. Some properties have been fully reworked, others are waiting for it, and the median price per square foot near $127 reflects an average across both. Underwrite each home individually — roof, systems, foundation, and prior permits will move your real cost more than the list price does.
The longer-term trend has been steep: the neighborhood is up 595% since 2012, and the homestead share of about 52% suggests a roughly even mix of owner-occupied and non-owner-occupied properties. That mix, combined with a 79-day median on market, points to a place where deals are made deliberately. There is inventory to work with across 142 homes, and the pace rewards a buyer who can look past cosmetics to the bones of a property.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Kenwood. 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 4 factors (7.2). Basis: Long-Term Appreciation +700% since 2012; Recent Direction +100.0% year-over-year; Owner Commitment 52% owner-occupied; Pricing Power 90.2% sale-to-list. Refreshed with each data update.
Why work with Momentum here
In a neighborhood where the median home dates to 1940 and price is set by condition rather than a clean comp set, the analysis is the job. We underwrite each property on its own merits — age of systems, quality of prior work, and how a specific home sits against a wide price spread — so you are not paying renovated money for a project, or walking away from value because a listing photographs badly.
