The Mellon Elementary attendance zone sits in Palatka, the Putnam County seat along the St. Johns River in northeast Florida. It's a settled, small-town pocket where families can stay in the local school pipeline from grade school through Palatka High School, with C. L. Overturf Jr 6th Grade Center and Robert H. Jenkins Junior Middle rounding out the path between. It's the kind of place buyers choose for affordability and roots rather than flash.
The market here is small and moving fast. With just 3 active listings and a median list price of $263,000, choices are limited and the homes that hit the right price go quickly — the median days on market is only 2, and sellers are getting 99% of asking.
