Secret Woods is a resale-only pocket of Duval County — every one of its 122 homes was built between 1984 and 1992, so there is no new construction here to compete against for a buyer's attention. Price is set almost entirely by condition and updates on top of that fixed building stock: the community carries a median price of $402,000 and a median price per square foot of $220.06, on a median home size of 2,226.5 square feet.
Momentum's read on the current posture: seller-leaning, with 2.0 months of supply and just 1 active listing against a total of 122 homes. Homes that do list are moving in a median of 23 days. The one figure worth flagging is the -3.1% year-over-year shift in pricing — even with supply this tight, prices have eased rather than climbed, which argues for sellers pricing sharply from day one and gives buyers some room to negotiate on anything that sits past the 23-day median.
Secret Woods 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 October 10, 2026. Confidence: Medium (2 active and pending listings, 5 closed sales in 12 months).
🟡 Still climbing. The trailing-12-month median ($430K) is up 3.6% from the prior 12 months ($415K) and up 144% since 2012. With about 5 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 October 10. Confidence: Low (5 and 5 sales in the two windows).

Loretto Elementary breaks ground on $12.3 million classroom addition
The addition will replace 13 portable classrooms and two aging pod buildings with 15 classrooms, a music room and a teacher planning room, and will expand the parent drop-off loop. The school enrolls 875 students for 2026-27. Funding comes from the voter-approved half-cent sales tax, with opening expected in 2028.
What it may mean for the marketExpanded permanent capacity and a longer drop-off loop affect school-area traffic and classroom availability in the Mandarin area. The project is about 5 miles southwest of Secret Woods, elsewhere in Duval County.

JEA advances about $690 million in infrastructure projects including Fulton Cut transmission line raise near JAXPORT
JEA is moving forward with three water reclamation projects (Blacks Ford in northwest St. Johns County, over $220 million; near Jacksonville International Airport, about $193 million; East Arlington, just under $165 million) and the $117 million Fulton Cut transmission line clearance over the St. Johns River near Blount Island. Fulton Cut, shared with JAXPORT and the city, is expected to finish in summer 2027 and all four projects by 2030.
What it may mean for the marketRaised power lines support larger ship access to port terminals, and new reclamation capacity supports growth in surrounding areas. The site is about 9 miles northeast of Secret Woods.

The Secret Woods buying strategy.
If we were buying in Secret Woods 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 Secret Woods.
A Small, Amenity-Heavy Resale Pocket
At 122 homes, Secret Woods is small enough that inventory swings hard — a single active listing against a median 23-day time on market is why the community reads seller-leaning with 2.0 months of supply. Filed homestead exemptions cover 90.2% of the community's homes, indicating most are owner-occupied primary residences rather than rentals or second homes, which tends to track with steadier upkeep on the housing stock.
The amenity package — tennis courts, a pool, basketball and pickleball courts, and a clubhouse, with grounds maintenance included — is reported across this community's MLS listings, so buyers should confirm current condition and access directly with the HOA before writing an offer. For a resale-only community built out between 1984 and 1992, that level of shared recreation is part of what a buyer is paying for beyond the house itself.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Secret Woods. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Momentum Buy Score.
Our proprietary 0 to 10 read across the factors that decide how a home in Secret Woods buys, holds, and resells. Momentum Research; not an appraisal.
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 (8.0). Basis: Long-Term Appreciation +144% since 2012; Recent Direction +3.6% year-over-year; Liquidity & Demand 4.8 months of supply; Owner Commitment 90% owner-occupied; Pricing Power 100.0% sale-to-list. Refreshed with each data update.
Why work with Momentum here
With only 1 active listing against 122 total homes, Secret Woods does not generate much day-to-day inventory to watch on a portal search. Momentum tracks small Duval County communities like this one closely so buyers are not relying on a feed that refreshes only after a listing already has showings scheduled, and sellers get a pricing read built on the community's actual 23-day, 2.0-months-of-supply pace rather than a citywide average.
