Tymber Hammock is a small, established pocket of 34 homes in Jacksonville, built between 1984 and 2008 with most of the inventory dating to the mid-1980s. What sets price here is condition, not square footage on paper — these are larger homes, with a median around 2,662 square feet, and the spread between an updated house and one that still wears its original finishes will be wide. The single figure I can stand behind is the median; treat everything else about price as condition-driven and negotiate on the specifics of the house in front of you.
This is a hold-and-live neighborhood, not a churn market. With a homestead share near 97%, almost every home here is owner-occupied, which means turnover is thin and listings are occasional rather than constant. For a seller that scarcity is leverage; for a buyer it means patience and readiness to move when the right house lists, because you won't get many at once to compare.
Figures in this note are as of July 12, 2026. The live market numbers elsewhere on this page update nightly and are newer.
The 60-Second Overview
Tymber Hammock is a compact, owner-occupied enclave of larger 1980s-and-newer homes in Duval County. Inventory is limited by design — 34 homes, almost all homesteaded — so it trades on condition and timing more than on volume.

The Tymber Hammock buying strategy.
If we were buying in Tymber Hammock 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 Tymber Hammock.
A small, settled pocket that trades on condition
The housing stock spans 1984 to 2008, but the median build year sits at 1985, so plan on assessing the things that age on a house of that vintage — roof, HVAC, systems, and kitchens and baths that may or may not have been touched. A home that has been methodically updated will command a very different number than one that hasn't, and with a median living area north of 2,600 square feet, there's real space here to renovate into.
With only 34 homes and a homestead share near 97%, this is one of those neighborhoods where you buy the house when it comes available, not when it's convenient. Comparable sales are sparse, so pricing leans on the details of each property rather than a steady stream of recent closings. That cuts both ways: sellers benefit from limited competition, buyers should come pre-approved and decisive.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Tymber Hammock. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.

Clay school district says one-mill referendum renews, not raises, property tax
The Clay County school district says the referendum on the upcoming ballot renews the one-mill levy voters first approved in 2020 at the same rate. The money funds school law enforcement contracts and compensation to retain and attract teachers and support staff. A citizens' advisory committee reviews spending, and the district says non-renewal would leave a funding shortfall.
What it may mean for the marketThe outcome sets school operating funding and staffing support for Clay County without changing the current millage rate. The site is about 11 miles south of Tymber Hammock.
