As of November 2026, Melvin Park in Jacksonville, FL has 1 home for sale. As of November 2026, the MLS records 45 closed sales in Melvin Park in Jacksonville, FL since 2011, the most recent in July 2026. Recorded prices since 2024 ran from $175,000 to $265,000 (median $201,000), on homes of 1,041 to 2,195 sq ft. Across Jacksonville as a whole, 12,699 homes closed in the last 12 months at a median of $304,990, 42 median days on market, with 4,140 homes for sale today. At that median and Duval County's FY2025-26 rate of 17.86 mills, annual property tax runs about $3,590 ($2,860 with the full homestead exemption).
Melvin Park's homes were all built in a tight window — 1971 to 1973, with a median year built of 1972 — and carry a median living area of 1,346 square feet. With no community amenities identified from current MLS listings, there's no HOA layer adding to carrying cost; pricing here comes down to the structure and lot alone. The median sale price sits at $201,000, or $193.08 per square foot, reflecting that age and size rather than any added community feature.
This is a small, thin-inventory pocket — 65 homes total, with just one active listing at the moment. A median 104 days on market and 4 months of supply put this in balanced-market territory, where neither buyers nor sellers hold clear leverage. Prices are up 527% since 2012, and with a 49.2% homestead exemption share, ownership here is roughly split between long-term owner-occupants and non-homestead owners.
Figures in this note are as of July 15, 2026. The live market numbers elsewhere on this page update nightly and are newer.

🟢 Buyer-leaning market. 12.0 months of supply and 0% of the inventory already under contract give buyers above-average negotiating leverage.Why it matters: months of supply is how long today's inventory would last at today's sales pace; under-contract share is the portion of homes for sale that already have a buyer.Momentum Research analysis of realMLS records, as of November 12, 2026.

The 60-Second Overview
Melvin Park is a small Duval County community where every home was built within the same three-year window, giving it a more uniform footprint than most of Northeast Florida's mixed-vintage neighborhoods.
realMLS (Northeast Florida) sales records identify 35 homes in Melvin Park that have changed hands since 2002, built between 1971 and 1975 (median 1972), with a median living area of about 1,282 sq ft and a typical 3-bedroom, 2-bath layout; 97% are single-family homes. Source: realMLS (Northeast Florida) closed-sale history compiled by Momentum Research; counts reflect homes with a recorded MLS sale, not every home in the community.
County records show 6 qualified sales in Melvin Park across 2024–2025 (3 in 2024, 3 in 2025), median $209,900 — the last recorded sale per parcel on the Florida DOR 2025 assessment roll, independent of the MLS.

Who Melvin Park is best for.
Best for
- Buyers prioritizing budget who want a home near the $201,000 median without HOA or amenity fees.
- Buyers comfortable with a smaller, 1,346-square-foot footprint and a 1971-1973 build.
- Buyers or investors tracking Duval County appreciation, given the 527% rise since 2012.
Probably not for
- Buyers who want a wide selection to choose from — only one active listing exists among 65 homes.
- Buyers who want community amenities like a pool or clubhouse; none are identified from current MLS listings.
- Buyers seeking newer construction — every home here dates to 1971, 1972, or 1973.

The Melvin Park buying strategy.
If we were buying in Melvin Park 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.
Use your leverage. With inventory sitting, there is room to negotiate on anything dated or overpriced and to ask for repairs or a rate buydown.
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 Melvin Park.
Priced on Structure, Not Amenities
Every home in Melvin Park dates to 1971, 1972, or 1973, giving the community a single construction era rather than the mixed vintages found in larger subdivisions. The median living area is 1,346 square feet — a modest footprint that keeps both price and carrying costs in check. With no community amenities identified from current MLS listings, buyers here aren't paying for a clubhouse, pool, or HOA-maintained common area; the value is in the home and the lot.
At $201,000 median and $193.08 per square foot, Melvin Park sits at an accessible price point, though the appreciation trend is not new — prices are up 527% since 2012. With only 65 homes in the community and a single active listing, this isn't a market where buyers see a wide selection at any given time; a 4-month supply and 104 median days on market describe a market that moves at a measured, balanced pace rather than a rush.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Melvin Park. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
In a 65-home community with only one active listing, most of what moves a deal here isn't visible on the MLS — knowing which of the 1971-1973 homes have been updated, what a realistic offer looks like against 104 days of median market time, and how to move quickly when something in this size range comes up. Momentum agents work Duval County closely enough to have that context before a listing goes live.
