Stillwater:
This community is one-of-kind because it is a bundle golf community. Which means that when you purchase a home in this neighborhood you automatically become a member of the golf and country club. This golf course was designed by Bobby weed and is the first golf course built in St. Johns in the lats 20 years. Other amenities include a full restaurant and bar, an aquatic center, resort style pool, pickle ball courts, tennis courts, fitness center, and aerobics studio. As well as full lawn maintenance! This community is built by Lennar and they have many villa (duplex) floor plans or single family home options. Base prices range from $370,000 to $517,000. These price do not include the lot premium or any upgrades. However, the one benefit of Lennar is their are not a lot of customizations and upgrades you can make, they package the basic homes with nice upgrades included. When this community is entirely built there will be 549 homes. Stillwater is located off of Country Road 210 which is very central to both Jacksonville and St. Augustine. Very close to great restaurants, shopping at the Durbin Pavilion, Towncenter, or St. Augustine Outlet Mall, close to the beaches, and hospitals. This is definitely a community to consider especially if you are a golf-lover!
Watersong at Rivertown:
This community, Watersong, is located in a bigger community called Rivertown off of Longleaf Pkwy. Watersong is built by the builder Mattamy Homes which is a great builder in the area because you are able to customize a few more options. They have several villa and single family home options as well and even some inventory quick-move-in homes. The Watersong neighborhood will have a total of 770 homes when it is all said and done. Watersong’s amenities include a resort style pool, a fitness center and spa, pickle ball courts, bocce courts, fire pits, a Biergarten, a dog park and many community and resident planned events. You also have access to Rivertown’s amenities which has 3 clubhouses, pools, sports fields, a lazy river, full restaurant and bar, a kayak launch & more! This community is located a little further away from the highways. Although you are still close to groceries and shopping you are a good 15 minutes further from the highways than some of these other communities. If you are looking for the laid-back river lifestyle this community is definitely one to consider.
Reverie at Trailmark:
This community, Reverie, is located within the community of Trailmark off of World Golf Village Parkway. This community again is a little further off of the highway by about 10-15 minutes. But it is close to many restaurants, grocery stores, Costco, nail salons etc. This community is built by Dream Finders and had many single family home floor plans to choose from. The Trailmark community as a whole has a lot more nature and has a more “homey” feel compared to the other neighborhoods around. There are many mature trees, miles of walking trails, a kayak launch, and of course a clubhouse, pool, and fitness center. Reverie itself has separate amenities as well. Including resort style pool, fitness center, clubhouse with a restaurant/bar, pickle ball courts, bocce courts, tennis courts, and more! If you want to be close to all of the necessary shopping but feel like you are more tucked-away and with nature then I have a feeling you’ll like this community!
Reverie at Silverleaf:
This community is justttt starting to be developed, they do not even have model homes built yet at this time. However, again this community is built by Dream Finders and will have many of the same floor plans and amenities offered as Reverie at Trailmark. This neighborhood will be in the bigger community of Silverleaf which will be the biggest community in St. Johns, Florida totaling around 10,000 homes. Silverleaf has a more coastal and barren feel to it (opposite of Trailmark). The community will have five total amenity centers besides the Reverie clubhouse. There will also be a lot of mixed-use and commercial spaces, a new Baptist Hospital, and several schools built within the community. If you don’t want to have to leave your community for just about any need or want then you should further explore this community!
Summer Bay at Grand Oaks:
This community is located between the St. Augustine Outlet Malls and the World Golf Village area! This community while being close to a lot of things, feels tucked away from the hustle and bustle. Overall this is going to be a smaller and quaint community totaling just over 300 homesites at completion. This community is built by Pulte Homes which is a very customizable builder. Even though they have several wonderful floor plans you can still customize them to your liking. The amenities include pickleball, bocce ball courts, outdoor firepit and fireplace, community garden, resort-style pool and more!
