The Hills
Homes for Sale in Jacksonville, FL
True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.
As of September 2026, the MLS records 31 closed sales in The Hills in Jacksonville, FL since 2002, the most recent in May 2025. Recorded prices across those 31 sales ran from $180,000 to $805,000 (median $425,000), on homes of 2,298 to 5,306 sq ft. Across Jacksonville as a whole, 8,840 homes closed in the last 12 months at a median of $310,000, 44 median days on market, with 2,388 homes for sale today. At that median and Duval County's FY2025-26 rate of 17.86 mills, annual property tax runs about $7,590 ($6,860 with the full homestead exemption).
The Hills is a 40-home pocket in Duval County where the housing stock spans decades of construction — from 1977 up through builds as recent as 2023 — landing on a median year built of 1979. That range means there's no single construction era to anchor value here; each home's systems, updates, and condition matter more than a shared build date.
What stands out numerically is size: a median living area of 3,359 square feet, which is large for the immediate market. At a 95% homestead-exemption share, this reads as a community of primary residences rather than turnover-driven investment stock. No community amenities are identified in current MLS listings, so buyers should treat any shared or nearby recreational features as unconfirmed until verified independently.

Who The Hills is best for.
Best for
- Buyers who want more square footage than a newer, smaller-lot build typically offers
- Buyers comfortable evaluating each home individually given the 1977-2023 build range
- Long-term owner-occupants, consistent with the community's 95% homestead-exemption share
Probably not for
- Buyers who want deeded, community-wide amenities included in the purchase
- Buyers who prefer a single, consistent construction era across the community
- Investors seeking amenity-driven rental demand

The The Hills buying strategy.
If we were buying in The Hills 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 The Hills.
Square Footage Over Uniformity
Forty homes make up the current MLS snapshot for The Hills, built across a wide window — 1977 through 2023 — with a median year built of 1979. That spread is wider than most single-community pockets in Duval County, which means buyers are really evaluating individual homes rather than one consistent product type. Two houses on the same street here can carry very different mechanical ages, finishes, and renovation histories.
The more consistent number is size: a median living area of 3,359 square feet, substantial for this part of Jacksonville. Ownership skews toward primary residences, with a 95% homestead-exemption share among current owners. Community amenities are not identified in current MLS listings, so any pool, clubhouse, or recreational access nearby should be confirmed on a home-by-home basis rather than assumed as part of the purchase.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in The Hills. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
The Hills rewards agents who read a listing sheet like an inspector, not a marketing brief. With homes built anywhere from 1977 to 2023 sitting on the same rolls, Momentum's approach is to pull comps by square footage and construction era rather than by community-wide averages, and to verify — rather than assume — what amenities, if any, actually convey with a given property.
