Aberdeen Homes For Sale, St. Johns County

The HOA is genuinely tiny — about $50 a year on most Aberdeen listings — and that’s not a typo; it’s the CDD model. The Aberdeen Community Development District funds and maintains the amenity structure, and its assessment rides the St. Johns County tax bill, scaled by lot width. Per the district’s own FY2026 adopted budget, single-family totals (operations plus both bond series) run from about $1,994 a year on a 53-foot lot to about $2,803 on an 80-foot lot, with townhomes near $997. Two similar houses on different lot widths carry different bills, and a prior owner may have prepaid bond principal — so I pull the exact district line for the specific parcel on every Aberdeen home my buyers consider. Judge the carry cost on the full stack, not the $50 headline.

Yes — both waterfront pond lots and homes with private pools do come up in Aberdeen. Pond-front and lake-view lots are part of the community's layout, and a portion of homes have private pools. That said, not every home in Aberdeen has either feature, so if a pool or water view is a priority, it's worth filtering specifically for those. The community pool is available to all residents regardless of whether a home has a private pool.

Aberdeen is zoned for the St. Johns County School District, which is consistently regarded as one of the stronger public school districts in Florida. Most addresses in Aberdeen are served by Freedom Crossing Academy (K–8), with Bartram Trail High School serving high school students. Some addresses may fall under Cunningham Creek Elementary or Switzerland Point Middle instead — school assignments in Aberdeen can vary by exact location, so I always recommend verifying the specific zoning through the St. Johns County School District for any address you're seriously considering. Aberdeen spans more than one attendance zone, so always confirm the current assignment for the specific address with the St. Johns County School District before you write an offer — I check it as part of every showing.

Every big master plan in the county funds its amenities differently, and the HOA line alone will mislead you on all five. Julington Creek: the CDD owns the amenities outright — rec center, water park, Sportsplex — and charges $1,385/yr for a single-family home (FY2025 adopted), one of the county’s most modest district lines because the build-out is long financed; HOA about $580/yr. Aberdeen: HOA about $50/yr, with the Aberdeen CDD carrying the amenity structure at roughly $1,994–$2,803/yr scaled by lot width (FY2026 adopted budget). Murabella: the same inversion — HOA $50–$150/yr, Murabella CDD on the order of $2,800/yr. Markland: a real POA plus the Southaven CDD at roughly $3,000–$3,500/yr scaled by lot width. Silverleaf: the outlier — no CDD at all, with a master HOA near $1,200/yr plus sub-neighborhood dues by section. Every figure comes from the districts’ own adopted budgets or live MLS listings, and the lesson is the same everywhere: compare total carry — HOA plus district line plus taxes — not the association sticker. I run that side-by-side for buyers deciding between these communities.

There’s no automated estimate on this site, on purpose — algorithms average a zip code, and your value turns on the specifics an average can’t see: condition, position, and what the last few Aberdeen sales actually closed for. Every new listing and MLS-recorded sale in Aberdeen surfaces on this page as it happens, so following it is the simplest way to watch your comp set move. When you want a real number, Krista prepares it personally against Aberdeen’s own sales — no algorithm guesses, no obligation.

It depends on the market you list into, not the market you read about — and this page tracks Aberdeen’s pace the honest way, from live MLS activity rather than a static average. The market snapshot above reflects what’s actually happening here right now, and it shifts: the answer in a tight-inventory spring is different from a heavy-inventory fall. Before we ever set a price or a timeline, I read Aberdeen’s current pace — days on market, how recent sales closed against their list prices, and what your home’s specific competition looks like the week we launch.

A few lines beyond the obvious ones. In Aberdeen, plan on: the commission you and Krista agree on, Florida’s documentary stamp tax on the deed, title and closing charges per local custom, the association’s estoppel letter — and because this community carries a district assessment, the CDD line is prorated at closing and must be disclosed to your buyer, which is a paperwork step, not a penalty. Priced and disclosed correctly, it never kills a deal; handled sloppily, it stalls one. Krista runs the full seller’s net sheet against Aberdeen’s actual cost structure before you commit to a number.
