As of November 2026, the MLS records 33 closed sales in Round Lake Park in Palatka, FL since 2011, the most recent in August 2025. Recorded prices since 2024 ran from $260,000 to $382,000 (median $375,000), on homes of 1,624 to 2,445 sq ft. Across Palatka as a whole, 264 homes closed in the last 12 months at a median of $246,325, 72 median days on market, with 130 homes for sale today. At that median and Putnam County's FY2025-26 rate of 16.89 mills, annual property tax runs about $6,330 ($5,660 with the full homestead exemption).
Round Lake Park doesn't have a tidy price story the way a single-era subdivision does. Its 106 homes span build years from 1900 all the way to 2023, with a median year built around 1982, so what a given house is worth here is driven almost entirely by condition and how much has been updated rather than by a common construction era or floor plan. The median living area, just over 2,536 square feet, also runs larger than a lot of comparable Putnam County pockets, which matters when you're sizing up any one listing against the community baseline.
Right now there are zero active listings in Round Lake Park, and roughly 73.5% of the homes here carry a homestead exemption, which points to an owner-occupied base that isn't turning over quickly. For a buyer, that means patience: there's no current inventory to shop, and opportunities will likely surface one at a time rather than as a batch. For a seller, it means whoever lists next does so into a market with no competing listings to shop against.
Figures in this note are as of July 14, 2026. The live market numbers elsewhere on this page update nightly and are newer.

Who Round Lake Park is best for.
Best for
- Buyers comfortable evaluating homes across a wide build-year range (1900 to 2023) and doing their own condition diligence rather than assuming a uniform subdivision.
- Buyers who want more living space than average, given the community's median of about 2,536 square feet.
- Patient buyers who don't need a shelf of active listings to choose from and can wait for the right one-off opportunity.
Probably not for
- Buyers who want documented community amenities or HOA features spelled out up front - current MLS data doesn't identify any for this community.
- Buyers who need several active listings to compare right now, since there are zero on the market as of this writing.
- Buyers seeking a single-era subdivision with consistent construction style throughout.

The Round Lake Park buying strategy.
If we were buying in Round Lake 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 Round Lake Park.
Built From 1900 to 2023, One Neighborhood
The 106 homes that make up Round Lake Park were built anywhere from 1900 to 2023, a spread wide enough that no two blocks necessarily read the same. The median year built lands around 1982, so the typical home here is early-1980s vintage, but that median sits in the middle of a genuinely long timeline rather than describing most of the housing stock. Living area runs larger than the county norm too, with a median of about 2,536 square feet across the community.
On ownership, close to three-quarters of homes (73.5%) carry a homestead exemption, a pattern consistent with owners staying in place rather than cycling the properties through as rentals or flips. That lines up with the current market snapshot: zero active listings as of this writing. As for community amenities, current MLS data doesn't identify any specific ones for Round Lake Park, so anything you hear about shared facilities or HOA features should be verified directly rather than assumed.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Round Lake Park. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
A community with build years spanning 1900 to 2023, and zero active listings to benchmark against, is exactly the kind of market where a hand-prepared valuation beats an automated number. We walk the property, weigh where it falls in that 1900-to-2023 range against the roughly 2,536-square-foot median, and price it on its own condition rather than a formula. When there's nothing else on the market to compare it to, that judgment call is the whole job.
