Mill Springs is a single, consistent build-out — 181 homes constructed between 1995 and 2000, with a median build year of 1999 and a median living area of 1,977 square feet. That uniformity is what sets price here: with the median sale at $330,000, or $205.23 per square foot, buyers are largely paying for size and condition rather than era, since nearly every home in the community was framed within the same five-year window.
The current posture is balanced — 4 months of supply, a median 12 days on market, and just one active listing at the time of this snapshot, based on a trailing three-month closings window. That's a thin bench for a buyer to shop from, but it also means a seller has very little competition to price against. Values have moved up 129% since 2012, and with 83.4% of homes carrying a homestead exemption, this reads as a community where owners tend to hold rather than flip.
Figures in this note are as of July 15, 2026. The live market numbers elsewhere on this page update nightly and are newer.
The 60-Second Overview
Mill Springs market snapshot (as of October 23, 2026): the median sale price is about $340K ($196 per sq ft over the trailing 12 months of closed sales), and a median 87 days on market for closed sales.
Mill Springs is a community of 181 homes in Jacksonville, Duval County, built between 1995 and 2000 (median 1999), with a median living area of about 1,977 square feet. 83% of parcels are homesteaded, the owner-occupancy proxy in the Florida DOR assessment roll (2025 roll, public records).
Mill Springs is a single-phase Jacksonville subdivision — 181 homes built entirely between 1995 and 2000 — so the housing stock reads as one consistent generation of construction rather than a patchwork of eras and price points.

Who Mill Springs is best for.
Best for
- Buyers targeting a home near the $330,000 median with roughly 1,977 square feet of living space.
- Buyers comfortable moving quickly in a balanced market with a median 12 days on market.
- Buyers who prefer a single, consistent construction era — 1995 to 2000 — over a mixed-vintage subdivision.
Probably not for
- Buyers who need to compare several active listings side by side — inventory is currently down to one home.
- Buyers relying on listed community amenities such as a pool or clubhouse, since none are identified in current MLS data.
- Buyers hoping to negotiate deeply below the median in a market currently reading as balanced with only 4 months of supply.

The Mill Springs buying strategy.
If we were buying in Mill Springs 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 Mill Springs.
One era, one price story
The math here is straightforward: a median sale of $330,000 against a median living area of 1,977 square feet works out to $205.23 per square foot. Because homes span only 1995 to 2000, the usual complexity of comparing decades of construction quality mostly disappears — the spread in price is driven far more by condition, updates, and lot specifics than by the age of the structure itself.
Momentum's snapshot shows a balanced market — 4 months of supply and a median 12 days on market over a trailing three-month closings window — with only one active listing at the time of this read. That's a thin bench for buyers. Appreciation of 129% since 2012 and a homestead-exemption share of 83.4% both point to a community that has held value steadily and is dominated by owner-occupied homes rather than investor turnover.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Mill Springs. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Momentum Buy Score.
Our proprietary 0 to 10 read across the factors that decide how a home in Mill Springs buys, holds, and resells. Momentum Research; not an appraisal.
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 3 factors (7.2). Basis: Long-Term Appreciation +134% since 2012; Owner Commitment 83% owner-occupied; Pricing Power 92.4% sale-to-list. Refreshed with each data update.
Why work with Momentum here
With only one active listing in Mill Springs at last count, timing and local relationships matter more than browsing what's posted. Momentum tracks this community's closings — 181 homes total, a $330,000 median, $205.23 per square foot — closely enough to tell a seller what condition and updates are actually worth here, and to help a buyer move fast in a market posting a median 12 days on market. No community amenity data is currently identified in the MLS feed, so we walk every showing with that gap in mind rather than assuming features that may not exist.
