Monticello is the seat of Jefferson County, a historic town in the rolling hills of North Florida just east of Tallahassee. Life here runs on space, quiet, and a slower pace — this is a place for people who want acreage, mature oaks, and a real sense of community over subdivision density. Families here are served by single-family homes on generous lots rather than rows of tract housing.
The market is small and thin, so timing and patience matter. Right now there is a single active listing on the market, priced at $584,000, which means serious buyers should watch new inventory closely and be ready to move when the right property lands. Keep an eye on any homes just reduced and plan to tour early rather than wait for a large pool of options.
Monticello is in Jefferson County, Florida.

Monticello real estate FAQs
Is Monticello a good place to live?+
It suits buyers who want a quiet, historic North Florida town with space and community over big-city bustle. As the seat of Jefferson County, it offers a walkable center while keeping you within reach of Tallahassee. Families rely on Jefferson County Elementary and the combined Jefferson County Middle/High School.
Is Monticello expensive?+
The current single active listing is priced at $584,000, working out to about $272 per square foot on a roughly 2,148-square-foot home. That reflects the larger-lot, single-family character of the area rather than a broad range of price points. With inventory this thin, one listing sets much of the visible pricing picture.
What do homes cost in Monticello?+
Right now the median and only single-family home on the market lists at $584,000, sized around 2,148 square feet at about $272 per square foot. Because there's just one active listing, expect the real range to shift as new homes come on. Buyers should treat each new listing as a fresh data point.
How is the Monticello housing market?+
It's a small, low-inventory market with one active listing and a median of 34 days on market. That means fewer choices but also less competition once the right home appears. Watch for anything just reduced and be ready to act promptly.
What about HOA fees and property taxes in Monticello?+
The listing here carries no HOA data, which fits an area built around larger-lot single-family homes rather than managed communities. Property taxes run around $5,706 per year at the median. Always confirm the exact tax and any association obligations for a specific property before you write an offer.
