Longwood
Homes for Sale in Jacksonville, FL
True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.
As of September 2026, the MLS records 37 closed sales in Longwood in Jacksonville, FL since 2004, the most recent in June 2026. Recorded prices since 2024 ran from $107,000 to $303,000 (median $176,000), on homes of 790 to 1,334 sq ft. 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 $3,140 ($2,410 with the full homestead exemption).
Longwood is an older Jacksonville pocket where price is driven by condition and scope of work, not by a uniform product. With a median build year of 1950 and stock stretching from 1916 to 2018, you are looking at a mix of original bungalows, mid-century cottages, and the occasional newer infill build. What a home has actually been through — foundation, systems, roof, updates — matters more here than square footage, and the median living area of roughly 1,340 sqft tells you these are modest footprints where a smart renovation reads clearly in the price.
For buyers, that means underwriting each house on its own merits and budgeting honestly for the gap between a cosmetic refresh and a full rehab. For sellers, documented, permitted work is your leverage; a well-executed update stands out against tired inventory. With 110 homes in the snapshot, this is a small, condition-sensitive market where comps are only useful once you adjust for what's actually been done.
The 60-Second Overview
Longwood is a small, older intown Jacksonville neighborhood in Duval County where the housing is compact and the age range is wide — meaning two houses on the same street can be very different buys depending on how much has been redone.

The Longwood buying strategy.
If we were buying in Longwood 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 Longwood.
An older core with an owner-occupied lean
The defining trait here is age and variety. A median year built of 1950, with the oldest homes dating to 1916 and the newest to 2018, means you should expect character stock — smaller rooms, original detailing where it survives, and systems that may or may not have been brought current. Diligence on the practical items (roof, plumbing, electrical, foundation) is not optional; it is the whole game.
A homestead share of just under 59% points to a neighborhood that leans owner-occupied rather than investor-churned, which tends to show in the way homes are kept. Living areas run compact around 1,340 sqft, so this is a market that rewards buyers who value location and bones over raw size, and sellers who can prove their updates are real.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Longwood. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
In a small, condition-driven market like Longwood, the median number tells you almost nothing about the house in front of you. We price and negotiate off the actual work done — permits, systems, roof age — and we will tell you plainly when a listing's asking price assumes updates it doesn't have. That candor is worth more here than in any cookie-cutter subdivision.
