Moncrief Estates
Homes for Sale in Jacksonville, FL
True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.
As of September 2026, the MLS records 14 closed sales in Moncrief Estates in Jacksonville, FL since 2003, the most recent in October 2016. Across Jacksonville as a whole, 8,873 homes closed in the last 12 months at a median of $305,375, 44 median days on market, with 2,391 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).
Moncrief Estates is an established Jacksonville neighborhood built out over a long stretch of time rather than in a single wave. The median year built sits at 1962, but the range runs all the way from 1909 to 2024, so pricing here is driven less by "the neighborhood" and more by the individual home: original construction, additions, and how much has been updated since. Median living space of 1,259 square feet points to a housing stock of modest, efficient floor plans rather than large-format new builds.
With 211 homes in the current MLS snapshot and a homestead exemption share of just 23.1%, a meaningful share of properties here are not owner-occupied, which typically means more investor and rental activity in the mix. For a buyer, that translates into a wider spread of property condition to evaluate house by house. For a seller, it means presentation and documented updates matter more than neighborhood comps alone. No community amenities are identified from current MLS listings, so this is a buy-the-house, not buy-the-clubhouse, market.

Who Moncrief Estates is best for.
Best for
- Buyers comfortable evaluating an older home's condition and renovation scope individually rather than relying on neighborhood-wide assumptions.
- Buyers prioritizing a smaller, efficient floor plan (around 1,259 square feet median) over maximum square footage.
- Investors assessing rental or resale potential in a market where a large share of homes are already non-owner-occupied.
Probably not for
- Buyers set on new-construction homes with builder warranties and standardized finishes.
- Buyers who want an HOA with organized community amenities, since none are identified from current MLS listings.
- Buyers who need a home requiring no near-term evaluation of age-related systems, given a median year built of 1962.

The Moncrief Estates buying strategy.
If we were buying in Moncrief 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 Moncrief Estates.
What the MLS Snapshot Actually Shows
As of the current realmls snapshot, Moncrief Estates has 211 homes on record. The year-built range of 1909 to 2024 is wide enough that this is not a single-era subdivision — it's a long-established area with a core of mid-century housing (median year built 1962) alongside more recent infill construction. That spread matters for diligence: two homes on the same street can carry very different systems, permitting history, and renovation needs despite similar square footage.
Median living area of 1,259 square feet reflects a smaller-footprint housing stock, which tends to draw buyers prioritizing an efficient layout and lower carrying costs over maximum square footage. The homestead exemption share of 23.1% is on the lower side, indicating a notable share of non-owner-occupied properties in the mix — a data point worth factoring into both condition expectations and, for investors, rental-supply context. There are no community amenities identified from current MLS listings, so any pool, clubhouse, or organized recreation would need to be confirmed independently rather than assumed.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Moncrief Estates. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.

Momentum's approach is to pull the individual home's history — permits, age of major systems, homestead status — before drawing conclusions from neighborhood-level numbers alone, and to be direct about which homes in a 211-home, amenity-light market like Moncrief Estates are worth the renovation math and which are not.
