Price in Pleasant Park is driven by condition and vintage more than by any uniform product type. With a housing stock spanning 1920 to 2024 and a median build year of 1978, you are looking at a genuinely mixed inventory — early-century homes, mid-century stock, and a thin layer of new construction all trading under one community name. The median sits at $289,900, or about $173.80 per square foot on a median footprint of roughly 1,629 square feet, but the spread around that median is wide because you are pricing renovation level, not a standardized floor plan.
The market posture here is patient. A median of 73 days on market tells sellers this is not a place where you name a price on Friday and field offers by Monday; homes that are priced to their actual condition move, and homes that are priced to their aspiration sit. For buyers, that same number is leverage — there is time to inspect an older home properly and negotiate on what the inspection turns up.
Figures in this note are as of July 12, 2026. The live market numbers elsewhere on this page update nightly and are newer.
The 60-Second Overview
Pleasant Park market snapshot (as of October 23, 2026): the median sale price is about $290K ($174 per sq ft over the trailing 12 months of closed sales), and a median 73 days on market for closed sales.
Pleasant Park is a community of 93 homes in Jacksonville, Duval County, built between 1920 and 2024 (median 1984), with a median living area of about 1,650 square feet. 50% of parcels are homesteaded, the owner-occupancy proxy in the Florida DOR assessment roll (2025 roll, public records).
Pleasant Park is a mixed-vintage Jacksonville community in Du val County where the housing stock runs from 1920 through 2024, so two listings at similar prices can be very different houses. Read each home on its own merits — the community label tells you less than the condition report.

Who Pleasant Park is best for.
Best for
- Buyers with a renovation budget who want to price a home to its condition rather than a market average
- Patient buyers who value a longer days-on-market window to inspect and negotiate
- Buyers seeking a Jacksonville entry point around the community median who will vet each home individually
Probably not for
- Buyers who need standardized, newer construction with a predictable price per square foot
- Buyers who want a fast, competitive close and no room to negotiate on condition
- Buyers unwilling to budget for the maintenance risk that comes with older housing stock

The Pleasant Park buying strategy.
If we were buying in Pleasant 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.
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 Pleasant Park.
Pricing an uneven housing stock
The gap between the oldest and newest homes here is more than a century, and the median build year of 1978 sits closer to the middle than the front of that range. That matters because a buyer is often choosing between an original older home that needs work and a renovated or newer one that does not — same neighborhood, very different carrying costs and inspection risk. The median price and the per-square-foot figure are useful anchors, but treat them as the center of a broad band rather than a going rate.
A homestead share of 48 percent means owner-occupancy and non-homestead ownership are split close to evenly. For a buyer, that mix is worth noting when you compare a specific listing's history and holding pattern; for a seller, it means your competition on the market can include both long-held owner homes and turnover stock, and pricing to condition is what separates a 73-day listing from a longer one.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Pleasant Park. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
In a community where a single median hides a wide range of ages and conditions, the value we add is reading the individual house against the block, not the headline number. We will walk an older home's bones with you, tell you where the 73-day market gives you room to negotiate, and be direct when a listing is priced to its ambition rather than its condition.
