Livingston Estates
Homes for Sale in Jacksonville, FL
True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.
As of September 2026, the MLS records 12 closed sales in Livingston Estates in Jacksonville, FL since 2005, the most recent in February 2021. Across Jacksonville as a whole, 8,846 homes closed in the last 12 months at a median of $305,375, 44 median days on market, with 2,385 homes for sale today. At that median and Duval County's FY2025-26 rate of 17.86 mills, annual property tax runs about $5,460 ($4,720 with the full homestead exemption).
What sets Livingston Estates apart is the age spread of the housing stock, not a single build era. The current MLS snapshot of 50 homes runs from a home built in 1926 up to a home built in 2023, with a median year built of 1986.5. That spread means condition, updates, and lot-specific work end up doing more of the pricing conversation than a straightforward neighborhood comparison, since two homes on the same street can be separated by generations of construction.
As of this snapshot (2026-07-14), roughly 60.4% of homes in the data set carry a homestead exemption, pointing to a base of owner-occupied housing rather than heavy investor churn. Current MLS listings show no identified community amenities, so this is not a subdivision where a shared clubhouse or gate is doing the selling — the sale hinges on the individual home and lot.
The 60-Second Overview
Livingston Estates is a small, established community in Jacksonville (Duval County) where the current 50-home MLS snapshot spans construction from 1926 to 2023 — an unusually wide age range for one named community — and no community amenities are identified in current listings.
Pre-construction details are compiled from public records, builder announcements and builder listings, and are subject to change without notice; figures are deemed reliable but not guaranteed.

Who Livingston Estates is best for.
Best for
- Buyers comfortable evaluating a home's systems and updates individually rather than relying on a uniform build era.
- Buyers prioritizing living space and lot over a packaged amenity list — median living area in the current data set is 1,657.5 square feet.
- Owner-occupant buyers, given roughly 60.4% of homes in the current data set carry a homestead exemption.
Probably not for
- Buyers who want new-construction consistency block to block — current listings run all the way back to 1926.
- Buyers who want a builder-run or HOA amenity package — none is identified in current MLS listings.
- Buyers unwilling to budget for age-appropriate inspections, since build years in the data set range from 1926 to 2023.

The Livingston Estates buying strategy.
If we were buying in Livingston Estates 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 Livingston Estates.
A Wide Construction Window
Across the 50 homes in the current data set, year built ranges from 1926 to 2023, with a median of 1986.5. Median living area sits at 1,657.5 square feet. That combination means the earliest homes on record and the newest construction sit inside the same community boundary, each carrying its own maintenance profile, lot layout, and renovation history.
No community amenities are identified from current MLS listings, and homestead exemptions apply to about 60.4% of homes in the data set. For a buyer, that means diligence has to happen at the individual-home level: verify age-related systems (roof, plumbing, electrical) against the actual year built rather than a neighborhood assumption, and confirm any amenities or association details directly rather than relying on a marketed lifestyle package.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Livingston Estates. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here

Momentum verifies year built, living square footage, and homestead status on each listing before a showing, so buyers know exactly which construction era and condition profile they are evaluating, and sellers get positioned against true comparables rather than a generic neighborhood average.
