Phillips
Homes for Sale in Jacksonville, FL
True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.
Phillips is an old, mixed-vintage pocket of Jacksonville where the housing stock runs from 1907 to 2023 around a median build year of 1956. With a median living area near 1,335 square feet, this is a market of smaller, older homes, and that mix is what actually sets price here — condition, renovation level, and lot far more than any single benchmark. Expect a wide spread between untouched original homes and rebuilt or newer infill.
There is no closings data in the current window, so recent sale pricing isn't something we can lean on here. That puts the burden on comparing individual homes carefully rather than trusting a headline number. For buyers, that means underwriting each property on its own merits; for sellers, it means condition and presentation do the heavy lifting in a market this varied.
The 60-Second Overview
Phillips is a small, established Jacksonville community of 39 homes spanning more than a century of construction, so no two blocks read quite the same. It rewards buyers willing to evaluate a house on its own terms rather than on a neighborhood average.
Pre-construction details are compiled from public records, builder announcements and builder listings, and are subject to change without notice; figures are deemed reliable but not guaranteed. Momentum Research figures are our own analysis. This page describes homes, pricing and community attributes, not residents.
Who Phillips is best for.
Best for
- Buyers seeking a smaller, established home and willing to underwrite condition property by property

- Investors comfortable in a market where a notable share of homes are non-homesteaded
Probably not for
- Buyers who need large square footage
- Buyers who want newer construction and predictable, uniform pricing
- Anyone unwilling to budget for the systems and updates older homes may require

The Phillips buying strategy.
If we were buying in Phillips 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 Phillips.
A century-wide housing mix
The year-built range from 1907 to 2023 is the single most important thing to understand about Phillips. A median build year of 1956 tells you the weight of the stock is mid-century and older, which means systems, roofs, and layouts vary enormously from door to door. The occasional recent build changes the calculus on a given street but not the character of the community as a whole.
Homes here are modest in size, with a median around 1,335 square feet. The homestead share sits at roughly 43%, meaning a meaningful portion of these homes are not owner-occupied — worth knowing whether you're buying to live in or evaluating the block around a purchase. In a market this small and this varied, inspection and renovation scope matter more than any comp.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Phillips. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.

We evaluate each property on condition, renovation scope, and lot rather than a neighborhood shorthand — and we'll tell you plainly when a specific house doesn't justify its ask.
