The James A. Long Elementary zone sits in Palatka, the Putnam County seat on the St. Johns River in Northeast Florida. This is unhurried small-town living, where family neighborhoods feed into a full slate of local schools — from C. L. Overturf Jr 6th Grade Center and Robert H. Jenkins Junior Middle up to Palatka High School. Buyers here are trading big-city pace for river-town character and more house per dollar.
The market is small and moves at its own speed. There are just 8 active Palatka homes for sale in this zone, with a median list price of $282,500 spanning everything from a $99,000 entry to a $1.25 million outlier. Homes are taking a median of 70 days to sell, and over the past year sellers have netted about 94% of asking — so there's real room to negotiate if you come prepared.

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 small-town Palatka life on the St. Johns River rather than big-city bustle. Families appreciate the local school lineup, including William D. Moseley Elementary School and Palatka High. Just know this is a small, tight inventory market with only 8 homes currently active.
Is it expensive to buy here?+
Not by Florida standards. The median list price is $282,500 and homes have actually sold at a median of $219,000 over the past year, so real closing prices tend to land below asking. You can find entry points near $99,000 alongside the occasional high-end listing over $1 million.
What do homes cost in this zone?+
Expect a median list around $282,500 and an average of about $495 per square foot on a median home size near 1,296 square feet. The range is wide — from $99,000 to $1,249,000 — so browse the live map to see what fits your budget.
How is the market right now?+
It's a slower, buyer-friendly pace. Homes are sitting a median of 70 days on market, and 19 homes sold over the last 12 months with sellers averaging 94% of their asking price. That gap between list and sold prices signals room to negotiate.
What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
HOA data isn't reported for this zone, which reflects its largely non-planned, single-family character. Property taxes run a modest median of about $1,860 per year, keeping your ongoing costs manageable.
