Star Lake Forest 1
Homes for Sale in Hawthorne, FL

Star Lake Forest 1 market snapshot (as of August 30, 2026): the median sale price is about $385K ($188 per sq ft over the trailing 12 months of closed sales), and a median 17 days on market for closed sales.

Star Lake Forest 1 is a spread-out Hawthorne community in Putnam County where age of home varies enormously, so the median masks real differences between original 1960s-era houses and recent new construction.

The single most useful fact here is the build range: homes from 1960 through 2024 sit in the same community, with the median year built near 1990. That means you are not shopping one product — you are shopping several. Expect to compare an updated older home against newer construction, and to see that comparison reflected far more in price than the median $385,000 suggests on its own.

A homestead share around 42% tells you a meaningful slice of the 153 homes is owner-occupied, with the balance held as non-homestead. For a buyer, that mix and the quick 17-day median mean the best-condition homes are the ones setting the pace; for a seller, condition and honest pricing are what separate a fast contract from a listing that lingers.

When a community's homes span six decades of construction, the median price is a starting point, not an answer. We underwrite each home against its true peer set — vintage, square footage, and condition — so you are not paying new-construction money for a home that needs work, or leaving money on the table when you sell an updated one. In a market contracting in about 17 days, that read has to be right the first time.

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