St Johns Park is an established, early 20th century neighborhood on Jacksonville's westside in Duval County, sitting between Herschel Street and Cassat Avenue, just south of Fishweir Creek. The area was originally platted as a streetcar suburb in the late 1910s and was annexed into the City of Jacksonville in 1925, which makes it one of the older platted residential grids on this side of the river.
realMLS (Northeast Florida) sales records identify 178 homes in St Johns Park that have changed hands since 2001, built between 1905 and 2020 (median 1928), with a median living area of about 1,302 sq ft and a typical 3-bedroom, 2-bath layout; 98% are single-family homes. Source: realMLS (Northeast Florida) closed-sale history compiled by Momentum Research; counts reflect homes with a recorded MLS sale, not every home in the community.
County records show 68 qualified sales in St Johns Park across 2024–2025 (41 in 2024, 27 in 2025), median $335,000 — the last recorded sale per parcel on the Florida DOR 2025 assessment roll, independent of the MLS.
Because this is a resale market rather than a builder pipeline, the homes for sale here are individual properties with their own maintenance and renovation history, not uniform units from a single construction phase. Some blocks retain more of the original early 20th century character, while others have seen additions, remodels, or teardown-rebuilds over the decades, so condition varies house to house more than it would in a new community.
The bigger picture is location. St Johns Park sits close to the Riverside and Avondale historic district and to Murray Hill, along the Herschel Street corridor that has drawn small shops and restaurants in recent years, with reasonably direct access into downtown Jacksonville. That in-town position, on an already-built street grid, is the main thing this neighborhood is trading on.
