Townhomes for Sale in Hampton, FL

Country roads, farms and forests surround Hampton, Florida, a small community about 7 miles south of Starke where residents look to Starke for most grocery shopping, restaurants and schools while enjoying more space and a rural pace. Hampton’s recent history includes a major turnaround: after past government issues, residents voted in new leadership, renovated city hall and Hampton City Park, and secured about $1.6 million in grants for infrastructure upgrades. Housing in Hampton features a mix of manufactured homes and bungalows, many with front porches and fenced lots ranging from about a third of an acre to five acres, with larger farms beyond the town limits. New farmhouse-style construction on half-acre-plus lots is underway in the Fox Hollow subdivision, and the county currently does not charge impact fees. Hampton City Park serves as a gathering spot with picnic tables, grills, swings, a basketball court and play equipment, while nearby Hampton Lake features a public boat ramp for boating and fishing. The long-distance Palatka-to-Lake Butler State Trail runs through the area and features nearly 47 miles of scenic views across four Northeast Florida counties. Day-to-day needs are mostly met in Starke, where residents find grocery chains, thrift stores, boutiques, fast food and local cafés, and U.S. Route 301 connects Hampton to Gainesville about 20 miles away and Jacksonville about 50 miles away, with ongoing stormwater projects aimed at reducing flooding in FEMA-designated areas.
