Simmons Addition
Homes for Sale in Jacksonville, FL

Simmons Addition market snapshot (as of August 21, 2026): the median sale price is about $190K ($213 per sq ft over the trailing 12 months of closed sales), a median 0 days on market for closed sales, and 4.0 months of supply, a balanced market.

This is a compact infill neighborhood of 78 homes where new construction sits alongside pre-war housing, so two listings a block apart can be very different assets. Treat each home on its own merits rather than assuming a neighborhood norm.

The century-wide construction span is the single most important thing to understand here. A 2023 build and a 1924 cottage are both part of Simmons Addition, and they carry entirely different maintenance, insurance, and financing profiles. The median living area near 1,136 square feet points to smaller footprints overall, which keeps entry accessible relative to much of Jacksonville but also means additions and renovations materially move value.

Owner-occupancy is on the lighter side, with a homestead share around 32 percent, so a meaningful portion of these homes are held as rentals or non-primary residences. That has two implications: inventory can turn over in bursts, and buyers should scrutinize deferred maintenance on any home that has been tenant-occupied. The long-run appreciation figure since 2012 is dramatic, but on a market this small it reflects a low starting base and a changing housing mix as much as anything, so weight it accordingly.

In a neighborhood this small, with this few recent sales and this much variation in age and condition, comps do not tell a clean story on their own. We underwrite each home individually — structure, roof age, systems, and renovation quality — and we move quickly, because at a zero-day median the difference between a strong offer and a missed one is often measured in hours, not days.

Confirm the current HOA dues, exactly what they cover, and any CDD bond or special assessment for a specific address before you offer.
