Jenkins Junior Middle, and Palatka High School.
For buyers, this is a small, slow-moving market: just 7 active Palatka homes for sale in the zone right now, with a median list price of $315,000 and homes taking a median 79 days to sell.

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 near the St. Johns River and an established feeder-school path through Robert H. Jenkins Junior Middle and Palatka High. The pace is slow and the market is small, with just 7 homes for sale, so it suits buyers who value community over big-city convenience.
Is it expensive to buy here?+
Not by Florida standards — the median list price is $315,000 and the range starts at $99,000, so there's genuine entry-level opportunity. Homes closed over the past year at a median of $219,000, which tells you buyers are often landing below the list numbers.
What do homes cost in this zone?+
Active listings run from $99,000 to $500,000 with a median list of $315,000, and pricing averages about $241 per square foot on a median home size of 1,515 square feet. You can browse the current Palatka homes for sale to see how that plays out across the range.
How is the market right now?+
It's a slow, buyer-friendly market: 19 homes sold in the last 12 months, homes take a median 79 days to sell, and sellers are getting about 94% of asking. That combination gives prepared buyers real negotiating leverage.
What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
There's no meaningful HOA data reported for this zone, which is typical for Palatka's older, non-planned neighborhoods. The median annual property tax runs about $3,791, so budget for that alongside your mortgage.
