Bannon Lakes Homes For Sale, St. Johns County

Bannon Lakes is a new-construction, amenity-rich single-family community in St. Augustine, St. Johns County. Its listing descriptions paint a clear picture of the lifestyle draw: lakes, preserve views, walking and biking trails, a fitness center, and courts for pickleball and tennis, along with a dog park and shared amenities. It's an appealing fit for buyers who want resort-style common areas close to home.

Homes are recent builds, with construction spanning roughly 2020 through 2026. Floor plans are notably wide-ranging — from about 1,502 to 4,284 square feet and from 3 to 5 bedrooms — so the community accommodates everyone from first-time buyers to households needing significant space. A meaningful share of homes here are waterfront, backing to the community's lakes.

Pricing runs from around $289,000 to roughly $899,000, with a median near $454,000. That makes Bannon Lakes one of the more attainable new-construction options in the county while still delivering a full amenity package.

Bannon Lakes is zoned to Mill Creek Academy (elementary and middle), with Tocoi Creek and Allen D. Nease serving as high schools — all part of the St. Johns County School District.

Every Bannon Lakes home sits in FEMA Flood Zone X, the low-risk designation, so a standard mortgage does not require federally mandated flood insurance.

In new construction, the on-site agent works for the builder. Bringing your own REALTOR — whose commission is typically builder-paid — means your interests are represented from contract through closing. Krista Fracke can tour Bannon Lakes with you and compare it against other St. Johns County communities.

Homes in Bannon Lakes are all single-family, built from 2018 through the mid-2020s, with architectural styles running from traditional and craftsman to ranch and multi-generational floor plans. Typical homes offer 3 to 5 bedrooms and 2 to 4.5 bathrooms, with living areas generally between about 1,500 and 4,300 square feet — most homes cluster around 2,000 to 2,200 square feet. Prices range from the mid-$300s to around $900,000, with the middle of the market sitting in the $400s to low $500s. Inside, open floorplans with kitchen islands, walk-in closets, pantries, and split bedroom layouts are common, and many homes include smart home features and smart thermostats. A meaningful share of homes sit on waterfront lots with pond views, and a portion include private pools.

The market here is mid-handoff, and it matters to pricing: Pulte announced its final phase at The Preserve at Bannon Lakes in January 2025, and only a handful of new-construction listings remain in the feed. The resale fabric that era leaves behind runs from about 1,500 to over 4,100 square feet across 40-, 50-, and 60-foot lots — and once the builder price sheet leaves a community, resale pricing typically firms, because sellers stop competing with the sales office next door.

Bannon Lakes and Seabrook are both new-construction, all single-family St. Johns County communities where every home sits in low-risk FEMA Flood Zone X. Bannon Lakes is in St. Augustine and more attainable, with a median near $454,000, and its listings lean heavily on amenities — lakes, preserve, trails, fitness, pickleball, and tennis — plus a larger share of waterfront homes and an unusually wide size range (about 1,502 to 4,284 square feet). It's zoned to Mill Creek Academy, with Tocoi Creek and Nease as high schools. Seabrook, by contrast, carries a Ponte Vedra address on the Nocatee side of the county and runs pricier, with a median near $667,000; it's zoned to Pine Island Academy and Allen D. Nease. Seabrook's listings emphasize flexible interior space — lofts, offices, flex rooms, and lanais — with a pool and shared amenities. If budget and amenity breadth lead, Bannon Lakes stands out; if a Ponte Vedra address is the priority, Seabrook fits.

Bannon Lakes is built around a strong amenity package that includes a clubhouse, fitness center, resort-style pool, tennis courts, pickleball courts, and a basketball court. The community also features a dedicated dog park, playground, jogging path, and sidewalks throughout — the kind of infrastructure that makes it easy to stay active without leaving the neighborhood. Curbed streets and well-maintained common areas give the community a polished, well-planned feel that holds up well day to day.

Bannon Lakes sits in the northern St. Johns County area near the World Golf Village, placing it at a convenient midpoint between St. Augustine and Jacksonville. Vilano Beach is roughly 11 miles away, St. Augustine Beach about 15 miles, and the St. Augustine Historic District — including Castillo de San Marcos and St. George Street — is around 11 miles south. The St. Augustine Premium Outlets are about 5 miles away, and The Pavilion at Durbin Park is roughly 6 miles north. For medical needs, Flagler Health+ Village at St. Augustine and Baptist Medical Center South are each within about 11 miles, and Northeast Florida Regional Airport is approximately 7 miles from the community. The airport is a general-aviation field with no airline service, which makes it a perk if you fly your own plane or happen to own a jet; the rest of us drive to Jacksonville International.

Bannon Lakes listings report Mill Creek Academy and Tocoi Creek High School, both in the St. Johns County School District. School assignments are address-specific and change; confirm the zoning for any specific home with the district before you buy.
