As of November 2026, River Hills Reserve Fleming Island in FL has 2 homes for sale. Homes listed or recently sold were built 2002–2005; 5 of 5 report an HOA (median $63/mo); none of the 5 geocoded homes sit in a FEMA special flood hazard zone (median elevation 11 ft).
Last 30 days in River Hills Reserve: 1 new listing (median asking $699,000). As of November 14, 2026, realMLS.
River Hills Reserve doesn't have a published median price in this snapshot, so the read here is about market posture rather than a price point. What we do have: a buyer-leaning market band built on 12 months of supply, alongside just one active listing right now. Those two facts sit in tension — the supply math points to a slow overall absorption pace, but with only one listing on the market at the moment, a buyer isn't choosing between several comparable options inside the community today.
For a buyer, that combination argues for negotiating on terms rather than assuming a bidding-war posture, since the band leans buyer-favorable. For a seller, it argues for pricing to the current listing rather than to a broader competitive set, since there is effectively no in-community comp to be measured against beyond that one active listing.
Figures in this note are as of July 14, 2026. The live market numbers elsewhere on this page update nightly and are newer.
River Hills Reserve right now
🟡 Balanced market. 4.8 months of supply and 0% of the inventory already under contract put buyers and sellers on roughly even footing.Why it matters: months of supply is how long today's inventory would last at today's sales pace; under-contract share is the portion of homes for sale that already have a buyer.Momentum Research analysis of realMLS records, as of November 12, 2026. Confidence: Medium (2 active and pending listings, 5 closed sales in 12 months).
🔴 Off the recent peak. The trailing-12-month median ($380K) is down 49.3% from the prior 12 months ($750K) and up 485% since 2012. With about 6 sales a year, a single closing can swing this number, so read the level and the decade, not one year's move.Momentum Research, record-level realMLS closed sales, 12-month windows ending November 12. Confidence: Low (5 and 8 sales in the two windows).

Who River Hills Reserve is best for.
Best for
- Buyers who want golf-course frontage plus a full recreation package — tennis, pickleball, fitness center, pools — inside a gated entry.
- Buyers comfortable moving forward with a single active listing to evaluate rather than a wide comparable set.
- Buyers planning to budget for HOA dues tied to a large amenity list, and willing to confirm those costs directly with the HOA.
Probably not for
- Buyers who want to compare multiple active listings side by side before making an offer — there is only one right now.
- Buyers who want to avoid HOA-governed communities or mandatory amenity fees.
- Buyers expecting a fast-moving, tight-supply market — the 12-month supply figure points to a slower overall absorption pace.

Clay school district says one-mill referendum renews, not raises, property tax
The Clay County school district says the referendum on the upcoming ballot renews the one-mill levy voters first approved in 2020 at the same rate. The money funds school law enforcement contracts and compensation to retain and attract teachers and support staff. A citizens' advisory committee reviews spending, and the district says non-renewal would leave a funding shortfall.
What it may mean for the marketThe outcome sets school operating funding and staffing support for Clay County without changing the current millage rate. The site is less than a mile east of River Hills Reserve Fleming Island.

The River Hills Reserve buying strategy.
If we were buying in River Hills Reserve 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 River Hills Reserve.
A gated amenity package built around the golf course
The amenities reported across this community's MLS listings run wide: a golf course, clubhouse, tennis courts, a pickleball court, a fitness center, a jogging path, a basketball court, a playground, a main pool and a separate children's pool, plus a gated entry with on-site security staffing. That is a large recreational footprint for one community, and it is the kind of package that comes bundled with HOA dues and rules — worth verifying directly with the HOA rather than assuming from a listing sheet.
On the market side, the 12-months-supply figure puts this community in buyer-leaning territory, but the active-listing count is thin — just one right now. A slow absorption trend and a shallow active pool are two different problems for a buyer to weigh: the first suggests negotiating room, the second means there isn't much to comparison-shop against inside the community at this moment.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in River Hills Reserve. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.

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 5 factors (6.0). Basis: Long-Term Appreciation +485% since 2012; Recent Direction -49.3% year-over-year; Liquidity & Demand 4.8 months of supply; Owner Commitment 79% owner-occupied; Pricing Power 95.4% sale-to-list. Refreshed with each data update.
Why work with Momentum here
With only one active listing in River Hills Reserve right now, there isn't an in-community comp set to lean on — pricing and negotiating strategy here has to draw on the broader Orange Park and Clay County market alongside this community's own supply trend. Momentum also runs down the HOA-side questions that a wide amenity list like this one raises — dues, golf-course access terms, and what's actually covered — before a buyer is committed.
