Wells Creek's pricing is set by a young, consistent housing stock rather than by decades of mismatched renovations. Homes here were built between 2019 and 2024, with a median year built of 2021 and a median living area of 2,091 square feet. That narrow age range means less of the price spread you'd see in an older subdivision — the median price of $384,900 works out to $223.77 per square foot, a figure driven mostly by floor plan and condition rather than by lot-by-lot variation in age.
Right now the numbers point toward a buyer-leaning market: a 6.2-month supply window against 19 active listings and 37 recent closings, with the median price down 7% year over year and homes sitting a median of 33 days before going under contract. For sellers, that combination means pricing has to be precise from day one — overshooting the comp gets penalized in days on market. For buyers, it means there's room to negotiate on terms, not just wait for a lower list price.

Wells Creek is a community of 976 homes in Jacksonville, Duval County, built between 2019 and 2024 (median 2021), with a median living area of about 2,091 square feet. 79% of parcels are homesteaded, the owner-occupancy proxy in the Florida DOR assessment roll (2025 roll, public records).
Wells Creek is a gated community of 976 homes in Jacksonville's Duval County, built almost entirely within the past several years rather than accumulated over decades. That newer-construction profile, combined with listed boat dock and boat slip access, sets its resale math apart from older, more gradually built neighborhoods nearby.

Who Wells Creek is best for.
Best for
- Buyers who want a home built within the last several years (2019–2024) and are comfortable with a median size around 2,091 square feet.
- Buyers in a buyer-leaning market who plan to negotiate on price or terms rather than compete in a bidding war.
- Buyers who want gated access, a clubhouse, pool, dog park, and boat dock/slip amenities as part of the purchase, pending HOA verification.
Probably not for
- Buyers who want the widest possible selection — only 19 active listings are on the market against 976 total homes.
- Sellers who need a quick sale without pricing adjustments — median time to contract runs 33 days in a market currently down 7% year over year.
- Buyers seeking an older, established subdivision with decades of resale history rather than a community built entirely since 2019.

Walmart at Pavilion at Durbin Park seeks expansion for online pickup
The Walmart Supercenter at 845 Durbin Pavilion Drive in The Pavilion at Durbin Park applied to add about 9,000 square feet for expanded online grocery pickup and delivery. St. Johns County began reviewing the permit in February 2026, with a Development Review Committee discussion set for March. The endcap addition is part of Walmart's broader national remodel program.
What it may mean for the marketAdded pickup capacity at the nearest large-format anchor could improve everyday shopping convenience for the southeast Duval corridor near Wells Creek, though timing depends on county review.

Walk-On's Sports Bistreaux signals revival at Durbin Park
A St. Johns County sign permit issued in September 2025 indicated that Walk-On's Sports Bistreaux, an almost 7,500 square foot restaurant, is moving toward completion at The Pavilion at Durbin Park. The shell had been built in 2023 but sat unfinished for about two years. The restaurant sits near the Cinemark theater off Florida 9B and West Peyton Parkway.
What it may mean for the marketA long-stalled dining anchor coming back online could add to the retail draw near the corridor, though opening dates for revived projects can still slip.

PARC Group launches EverRange master-planned community on Philips Highway
The PARC Group unveiled EverRange, a 1,000-acre master-planned community along Philips Highway at the southern tip of Duval County with an eventual 1,500 homes in its initial phase. Builders include Dream Finders Homes, David Weekley, Toll Brothers and ICI, with the first neighborhoods opening in 2026. The community shares the same general school assignments as the Wells Creek area.
What it may mean for the marketA large new community on the same Philips Highway corridor may expand nearby housing supply and amenities, and could add demand on the shared area schools over time.

Citigroup campus in Flagler Center could add up to 750 apartments
New owners of the Citigroup office campus in Flagler Center, between Interstate 95 and Philips Highway just south of Old St. Augustine Road and north of Bartram Park, applied to amend the development order to allow up to 750 additional apartment units. The request would raise the maximum multifamily count in the development from 3,200 to 3,950 without increasing overall development rights. The owner said it is securing entitlements as a contingency while keeping an office focus for now.
What it may mean for the marketAdditional housing entitlements this close to the corridor could eventually broaden nearby rental options, though the owner has framed the apartments as optional rather than committed.

FDOT pushes I-95 and I-295 interchange completion to spring 2026
The Florida Department of Transportation said the $176.8 million reconstruction of the Interstate 95 and Interstate 295 interchange, begun in 2016, was rescheduled for completion in spring 2026 after several earlier delays. The work adds lanes and reduces lane changes on I-295, with two new lanes opening on I-95 near the junction. As of mid-May 2025, crews were pouring concrete for the I-295 overpass at Main Street.
What it may mean for the marketFinishing this major junction could ease regional highway flow used by southeast Duval drivers near Wells Creek, though the agency noted the deadline may shift again for weather.

The Wells Creek buying strategy.
If we were buying in Wells Creek 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.
Use your leverage. With inventory sitting, there is room to negotiate on anything dated or overpriced and to ask for repairs or a rate buydown.
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 Wells Creek.
Inside the numbers
With 19 active listings against 976 total homes and 37 closings in the recent window, Wells Creek trades in relatively low volume — a handful of listings can swing the days-on-market and per-square-foot figures more than in a larger, older subdivision. About 79% of homes here carry a homestead exemption, indicating most residences are owner-occupied rather than held as rentals or investment property, which tends to support steadier turnover.
The community's listed amenities include a pool, playground, dog park, jogging path, clubhouse, park, boat dock and boat slip, gated entry, fishing access, security fencing and lighting, and off-site management with grounds maintenance included. These are reported across this community's MLS listings; verify current amenities and access directly with the HOA before assuming availability.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Wells Creek. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Momentum Buy Score.
Our proprietary 0 to 10 read across the factors that decide how a home in Wells Creek buys, holds, and resells. Momentum Research; not an appraisal.
Momentum Intelligence Scores are our proprietary, qualitative assessment on a 0 to 10 scale, built from the record-level market data on this page. They are a framework for comparing communities, not a guarantee of future value and not advice on a specific home; unlike an automated value estimate they do not price your home, they grade the community on evidence you can inspect. Composite is the plain average of the 4 factors (6.1). Basis: Recent Direction -7.0% year-over-year; Liquidity & Demand 6.2 months of supply; Owner Commitment 79% owner-occupied; Pricing Power 97.7% sale-to-list. Refreshed with each data update.
Why work with Momentum here
In a community this size — 976 homes with only 19 active listings at any given time — comparable sales are thin, so the median price and per-square-foot figures need to be read alongside a specific home's year built, square footage, and lot rather than treated as a flat benchmark. Momentum pulls the closing-level detail behind those numbers before advising on an offer or a list price.
