Market Heat
North Brookside is an old, condition-driven market. With a median build year of 1950 and stock reaching back to 1915, what a home actually sells for here has less to do with the block and more to do with how much work has already been done. The median sits at $145,000, but that number spans everything from untouched original houses to fully reworked ones — the spread is wide, and price follows condition, not square footage alone.
The market posture is slow and unhurried. A median of 104 days on market and a heat score of 25 tell you this is not a place where buyers are forced to move fast. That favors the patient buyer who can underwrite renovation cost and walk away from the wrong house. For sellers, it means realistic pricing and clean presentation matter — homes that sit do so because they are mispriced or need work the listing doesn't acknowledge.

The 60-Second Overview
North Brookside market snapshot (as of July 11, 2026): the median sale price is about $145K ($104 per sq ft over the trailing 12 months of closed sales), and a median 104 days on market for closed sales. The trailing-12-month median is up 4% from the prior 12 months and up 900% since 2012, computed from record-level realMLS closed sales (9 closings in the current window).
North Brookside is a community of 340 homes in Jacksonville, Duval County, built between 1915 and 2024 (median 1950.0), with a median living area of about 1,204 square feet. 32% of parcels are homesteaded, the owner-occupancy proxy in the Florida DOR assessment roll (2025 roll, public records).
North Brookside is a small, older Jacksonville pocket of roughly 340 homes where value is set by condition and renovation work rather than a uniform product type. The pace is deliberate, which gives buyers room to inspect and negotiate.
Price History: What Homes Here Have Actually Sold For
Median sale price over the trailing 12 months ending July 11 of each year, from record-level realMLS closed sales. Same methodology as every appreciation figure on this page: the 2026 point ($145K) IS the median in the snapshot above, and the move from 2025 ($140K) IS the +3.6% one-year change.
Windows contain 1 to 17 sales each (9 in the current window); every figure carries its sample size, and thin markets swing on single closings. Source: Data provided by realMLS. Deemed reliable but not guaranteed.

An older market that rewards patience
The housing stock is the story. A century-plus range of build years and a median around 1950 means inspection matters more here than almost anywhere — roof, systems, foundation, and prior permits will drive both your price and your carrying cost. A median living area near 1,204 square feet and a median price per square foot of about $103.65 point to compact homes where the right renovation can meaningfully reset value, and the wrong one can trap it.
Longer-term, North Brookside has moved a lot: values are up roughly 900% since 2012 and about 3.6% year over year. The recent number is modest and the current pace is soft, with homes taking around 104 days to sell. A homestead share near 31.5% suggests a meaningful portion of the stock is held as something other than owner-occupied primary residences, which reinforces the read that this is a market where condition and investor activity, not scarcity of a single home type, set the terms.
Why work with Momentum here
A market this condition-sensitive and this slow-moving is where a broker earns their keep. We help buyers separate a cosmetic project from a structural money pit, price the renovation before you commit, and use the long days-on-market to negotiate rather than chase. For sellers, we position the home honestly against its actual condition so it doesn't become one of the listings that sits.
