Somerton Place is a small, established Duval County subdivision — 69 homes total, all built between 1990 and 1999, with a median construction year of 1993. Right now there is exactly one active listing, and that's the real story here: with months of supply at 6 and only two closings in the recent window, price discovery happens one house at a time rather than off a stack of comparable active listings.
For a seller, that thin inventory is leverage — a balanced market label undersells how little competition a listed home currently faces. For a buyer, it means patience and a broker who is watching the MLS closely, since a new listing in this community doesn't sit around long enough to build a shopping list against it.
Figures in this note are as of July 15, 2026. The live market numbers elsewhere on this page update nightly and are newer.
The 60-Second Overview
Somerton Place is a 69-home subdivision in Duval County built out between 1990 and 1999, with a median construction year of 1993 and a median home size of 1,282 square feet — a compact, single-era pocket of Jacksonville's resale market.

Who Somerton Place is best for.
Best for
- Buyers targeting a home close to the community's 1,282-square-foot median who don't need on-site amenities.
- Buyers comfortable acting quickly in a market with typically just one active listing at a time.
- Buyers who value a single-era construction profile, 1990 to 1999, over a mix of old and new builds.
Probably not for
- Buyers who want to compare several active listings side by side before deciding.
- Buyers prioritizing a community with a clubhouse, pool, or other planned amenities.
- Investors expecting a large pool of comparable listings to move quickly, given the market's thin inventory.

The Somerton Place buying strategy.
If we were buying in Somerton Place 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 Somerton Place.
A small, quiet resale pocket
With just 69 homes on record and a single active listing as of this writing, Somerton Place is not a subdivision where buyers shop a wide field of comparables — it's one where each listing has to be evaluated largely on its own terms. The median living area runs 1,282 square feet, and every home in the community was built between 1990 and 1999, giving the neighborhood a consistent, single-era construction profile rather than a mix of old and new stock.
Just over half of homes here — 52.2% — carry a homestead exemption, meaning a meaningful share of the community sits outside that owner-occupied designation. No community amenities have been identified from current MLS listings, so this reads as a straightforward, amenity-light resale neighborhood rather than one built around a clubhouse, pool, or planned recreation.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Somerton Place. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
