Market Heat
Over the 12 months ending 2026-11-11, 7 recorded sales closed at a median of $218,000, $205 per square foot, a median 10 days on market, sellers accepting 95% of original asking. At the median price and Duval County's FY2025-26 rate of 17.86 mills, annual property tax runs about $3,890 ($3,160 with the full homestead exemption).
Price in Windle Park is driven by condition and vintage, not square footage alone. With a median year built of 1940 and a stock that runs from 1905 all the way to 2024, two homes on the same block can be worlds apart — one an untouched original, the next a full rebuild. That spread is why the median sits at $178,500 and why a single number tells you very little until you walk the specific house.
The current posture is fast but softer year-over-year. Median days on market is 6.5, so well-prepped listings move quickly, yet prices are down 29.8% from a year ago. For a seller that means pricing to today's comps, not last year's. For a buyer it means speed matters — you need to be ready to act — but you are negotiating in a market that has cooled off its recent peak.

Who Windle Park is best for.
Best for
- Buyers targeting an older, character home who can evaluate renovation scope
- Renovation-minded buyers comfortable with a 1905-to-2024 build range and variable condition
- Buyers who can move decisively given a median 6.5 days on market
Probably not for
- Buyers who want new-construction uniformity and turnkey finishes only
- Buyers needing more than the roughly 1,338-square-foot median footprint
- Buyers who want a slow, low-competition process with weeks to deliberate

Same methodology as every appreciation figure on this page: the 2026 point ($218K) IS the median in the snapshot above, and the move from 2025 ($254K) IS the -14.2% one-year change.

The Windle Park buying strategy.
If we were buying in Windle Park 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 Windle Park.
A condition-driven older core
The long-run picture and the short-run picture point in opposite directions. Values are up 554% since 2012, which tells you this area has been on a sustained climb; the 29.8% year-over-year drop tells you it has pulled back sharply from its most recent high. Read both together rather than either alone — the median of $178,500 reflects a market that is repricing, not one with a fixed floor or ceiling.
Median living area is about 1,338 square feet at a median $203.25 per square foot, so these are modestly sized homes where finish quality carries the price. With roughly 1,744 homes and a homestead share just under half, this is a mix of owner-occupied and non-owner-held property, and a market heat score of 43 puts it in the middle of the pack — active, but not frantic.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Windle Park. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
