True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.
As of October 2026, the MLS records 93 closed sales in Sherwood Lakes in Middleburg, FL since 2001, the most recent in August 2026. Recorded prices since 2024 ran from $256,000 to $285,000 (median $275,000), on homes of 1,171 to 1,496 sq ft. Across Middleburg as a whole, 648 homes closed in the last 12 months at a median of $320,000, 46 median days on market, with 324 homes for sale today. At that median and Clay County's FY2025-26 rate of 15.05 mills, annual property tax runs about $4,140 ($3,540 with the full homestead exemption).

Sherwood Lakes is a compact pocket of 82 homes in Middleburg, built out in a tight window between 1987 and 1994, with a median year built of 1988. That means most of the housing stock here is approaching four decades old, and at this age, condition and the extent of updates - roof, HVAC, kitchens - do more to separate one listing from the next than the neighborhood itself does. Current MLS listings show no confirmed community amenities, so buyers here are paying for the house and the lot, not a clubhouse or pool assessment.
Roughly 69.5% of homes carry a homestead exemption, which tells us the majority of owners here treat the property as a primary residence rather than a rental or investment hold - a sign of a settled, owner-occupied pocket rather than a churn-heavy one. With median living space around 1,242 square feet, this is a modest, starter- or downsizer-scaled floor plan rather than a move-up product. We do not have current closing data for this snapshot, so we are reading the community through its housing stock and ownership pattern rather than recent sale prices.

The 60-Second Overview
Built entirely within a seven-year span from 1987 to 1994, Sherwood Lakes reads as a single-era subdivision in Middleburg rather than a phased build-out, which keeps the homes fairly consistent in scale even where finishes and updates differ.

Who Sherwood Lakes is best for.
Best for
- Buyers prioritizing a modest, owner-occupied Middleburg neighborhood over amenity packages
- Buyers comfortable evaluating a home built between 1987 and 1994 for system and roof condition before purchase
- Buyers seeking a smaller-footprint home near 1,242 sq ft rather than large new construction
Probably not for
- Buyers who want HOA-run amenities such as a pool or clubhouse included
- Buyers who need move-in-ready systems without budgeting for potential roof or HVAC replacement on an unrenovated home
- Buyers seeking larger, move-up square footage beyond a modest starter-scaled floor plan

The Sherwood Lakes buying strategy.
If we were buying in Sherwood Lakes 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 Sherwood Lakes.
Age and Ownership, Not Amenities
The numbers here point to a neighborhood defined by its age band and its ownership base rather than by shared recreational amenities. With a year-built range of 1987 to 1994 and a median year built of 1988, Sherwood Lakes is now nearing the four-decade mark. At that age, mechanical systems and roofs on unrenovated homes are typically due or overdue for replacement, and that gap between updated and original-condition homes is usually the biggest swing factor in value within a pocket like this.
Current MLS listings do not identify any community amenities for Sherwood Lakes, so this is not an HOA-amenity community in the way many newer Clay County subdivisions are. What it does have is a high concentration of owner-occupancy - about 69.5% of homes carry a homestead exemption - which typically means fewer investor-owned rentals cycling through and more owners with reason to maintain the property over time. Median living space of 1,242 square feet keeps the housing stock in a modest-footprint category, useful context for anyone comparing it to larger new construction elsewhere in Middleburg.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Sherwood Lakes. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
