Straight answers
James A. Long Elementary School FAQs
Is the James A. Long Elementary zone a good place to live?+
It's a good fit if you want a genuine small-town, St. Johns River setting with a connected school community. Kids progress through schools like Palatka High School, and the neighborhood scale keeps things familiar. The trade-off is a quieter pace and a smaller market than the big Florida metros.
Is it expensive to buy here?+
No — this is one of the more affordable pockets in the region, with a median list price of $282,500 and homes averaging $228 per square foot. Listings run from $99,000 up to $500,000, so there's a real entry point for first-time buyers. See what's active on the live map.
What do homes cost in this zone?+
Currently the median list price is $282,500 across 8 active listings, with a median home size around 1,469 square feet. Over the last 12 months, 19 homes sold at a median of $219,000, so sold prices have run below current asking. That gap is worth keeping in mind when you write an offer.
How is the market right now?+
It's a slower, buyer-friendly market — homes sit a median of 70 days, and sellers are averaging 94% of asking. With only 8 active Palatka homes for sale in the zone, inventory is tight but not competitive, which usually means room to negotiate on price and terms.
What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
Most homes in this zone carry no HOA, so there's no reported median HOA fee to plan around. Property taxes run a median of about $2,763 per year, which is modest for Florida. That keeps ongoing carrying costs low relative to metro markets.
