Love Grove is an older Jacksonville pocket where the housing stock runs from 1924 to 2022, with the middle of the range built around 1958. In a place with that kind of spread, price is set by condition and updates far more than by any headline number — a renovated 1950s home and an untouched one can share a street and diverge sharply on value. Living space clusters near a median of about 1,987 square feet, so buyers are generally comparing whole houses, not just square footage.
With roughly 146 homes here and about 76% carrying a homestead exemption, this reads as an owner-occupied enclave rather than a churn-heavy investor market. That tends to keep listing volume thin and turnover measured. For a seller, condition and presentation carry the negotiation; for a buyer, expect to underwrite each home on its own merits — age, systems, and what has actually been done to it.
Figures in this note are as of July 12, 2026. The live market numbers elsewhere on this page update nightly and are newer.
The 60-Second Overview
Love Grove market snapshot (as of November 12, 2026): the median sale price is about $279K ($247 per sq ft over the trailing 12 months of closed sales), and a median 15 days on market for closed sales.
Love Grove is a community of 84 homes in Jacksonville, Duval County, built between 1924 and 2022 (median 1958.0), with a median living area of about 2,069 square feet. 75% of parcels are homesteaded, the owner-occupancy proxy in the Florida DOR assessment roll (2025 roll, public records).
Love Grove is a small, largely owner-held neighborhood in Duval County where a century-wide age range and a mid-1950s core mean no two homes are underwritten the same way.

The Love Grove buying strategy.
If we were buying in Love Grove 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 Love Grove.
Why condition is the whole story here
When a neighborhood spans 1924 to 2022 construction around a 1958 median, the single most important variable is how much a given house has been touched. Original systems, roofs, and layouts in the older stock behave very differently on inspection and insurance than a rebuilt or newer infill home. That is why we lean on the median figure and describe everything else qualitatively — the real spread here is condition-driven, not something a range can capture.
At a median near 1,987 square feet, homes are sized for real living rather than starter footprints, and the high homestead share suggests owners tend to stay. That combination usually means fewer listings and homes that come to market having been lived in and maintained to an owner's own standard — which cuts both ways. Some are meticulously kept; others are dated. Diligence on each specific property is not optional in Love Grove.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Love Grove. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
In a market this condition-sensitive and this thin on turnover, the value is in reading each individual home correctly — its era, its updates, and what that means for price and closing risk. We underwrite properties one at a time rather than leaning on a neighborhood average, and we will tell you plainly when a specific house is priced for its condition and when it is not.
