Westwood
Homes for Sale in Middleburg, FL
True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.
Westwood is a 110-home pocket of Middleburg with an unusually wide build spread: homes here date from 1968 through 2024, with a median year built of 1996. That range is the single biggest driver of what you'll find on a showing — a 1968 home and a 2024 home in the same neighborhood are two different buying decisions, from systems and layout to expected near-term maintenance. Condition, not just square footage, is doing a lot of the work in how these homes compare to one another.
Median living space sits at 1,534 square feet, which puts Westwood in starter-to-mid-size territory rather than move-up. About 61.3% of homes here carry a homestead exemption, meaning a solid majority are owner-occupied rather than held as rentals or investment property — a signal of steadier turnover rather than a revolving door of tenants. No community amenities are identified in current MLS listings, so buyers should confirm directly whether there's an HOA, and if so, what it does or doesn't cover, rather than assuming a package of shared amenities exists.
The 60-Second Overview
Westwood in Middleburg (Clay County) is a 110-home community spanning construction dates from 1968 to 2024, with a median year built of 1996 and no community amenities currently listed in MLS — worth verifying HOA status directly rather than assuming.

Who Westwood is best for.
Best for
- Buyers who want a smaller, efficient home near 1,534 square feet rather than a larger footprint
- Buyers comfortable evaluating condition and systems age individually rather than relying on a uniform build year
- Buyers who don't need a formal HOA or bundled community amenities as part of the purchase
Probably not for
- Buyers who want every home in a neighborhood to share the same build year and systems profile
- Buyers whose plan depends on established community amenities or shared recreational infrastructure
- Buyers unwilling to budget extra due diligence time for homes on the older end of the 1968–2024 range

The Westwood buying strategy.
If we were buying in Westwood 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 Westwood.
A community defined by build-year spread
With homes built as early as 1968 and as recently as 2024, Westwood doesn't have a single architectural or systems-age profile — it has several. The median year built of 1996 is a useful midpoint, but it masks real variation: older homes may carry original systems and layouts that need updating, while newer construction within the same community can look and perform completely differently. That spread means due diligence on age, roof, HVAC, and permitting history matters more here than in a tract-built subdivision where every home shares a build year.
Median living space of 1,534 square feet keeps most homes here compact and efficient rather than sprawling, which tends to appeal to buyers prioritizing a manageable footprint over maximum square footage. The 61.3% homestead share also points to a base of owner-occupants rather than a heavy investor presence, which can mean more pride-of-ownership upkeep on individual homes even where the community itself has no formal amenities or shared infrastructure listed in MLS.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Westwood. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
