Cascades at World Golf Village Homes For Sale, St. Augustine

Cascades is the WGV band’s established 55+ community: about 450 single-story homes (roughly 1,540–2,560 square feet, built 2006–2015), a staffed gate, and the clubhouse world — fitness, tennis, pickleball, indoor and outdoor pools — carried by one services-rich HOA at about $1,260 a quarter that also covers lawn care. What it deliberately lacks is a CDD: bills here run millage-only, the rare district-free carry in the county’s 55+ market, and the direct counterweight to Del Webb Nocatee’s Tolomato line when buyers compare. Preserve and water edges back many streets, and the resale market’s favorite phrases — new roofs, updates, screened lanais — reflect a community aging gracefully into its second ownership generation.

Homes in Cascades at World Golf Village are single-family residences built between roughly 2006 and 2010, running from about 1,600 to 2,300 square feet with most landing near 1,850 square feet. The typical home offers 2 to 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, finished in traditional, ranch, or contemporary styles with details like arched doorways, vaulted ceilings, and open floorplans. Inside, you'll commonly find features such as split-bedroom layouts, walk-in closets, his-and-hers closet configurations, a primary suite on the main level, eat-in kitchens with breakfast bars, and entrance foyers that give the homes a more spacious feel than their square footage might suggest. Many homes sit on pond or preserve homesites, and a number have been upgraded with remodeled kitchens, updated bathrooms, and newer roofs. Prices generally range from the low $300s into the low $500s, and notably, there are no CDD fees — a meaningful distinction in St. Johns County.

Cascades at World Golf Village is a designated 55+ age-restricted community — one of the more established active adult options in St. Johns County. All homes carry that designation, which shapes both the character of the community and the range of buyers drawn to it. Homes here typically run from the low $300s into the low $500s, with a meaningful share of homesites overlooking ponds or preserves. The community is gated and maintained through quarterly HOA dues that cover grounds maintenance, giving residents a lower-maintenance living arrangement than many standard single-family neighborhoods. There are no CDD fees, which buyers familiar with the broader St. Johns County market will recognize as a genuine financial distinction. In the years I've worked this area, Cascades stands out as one of the few 55+ communities in the World Golf Village corridor that combines a gated setting, a full amenity package, and a no-CDD structure at a price point well below what you'd pay in newer active adult developments to the north.

Cascades at World Golf Village is a gated community with a robust on-site amenity package that includes a pool, spa and hot tub, clubhouse, fitness center, tennis courts, and pickleball courts — a combination that keeps most recreational needs within walking distance of your front door. A jogging path and sidewalks wind through the community, and street lights and a security presence round out the package. HOA dues, paid quarterly at a flat rate, cover grounds maintenance — so landscaping and common area upkeep are handled. Just outside the gates, the Slammer & Squire Golf Course sits under a mile away, and St. Johns Golf & Country Club is roughly 4 miles out, giving residents genuine proximity to multiple courses beyond anything the community itself provides.

Cascades at World Golf Village sits in the northern reaches of St. Johns County, positioned along International Golf Parkway near the World Golf Hall of Fame. The St. Augustine Premium Outlets are about 6 miles south, and The Pavilion at Durbin Park is roughly 5 miles away for broader retail needs. Vilano Beach is the closest coastal access point at about 13 miles, with Mickler's Landing Beach and St. Augustine Beach each reachable in roughly 20 to 25 minutes. Baptist Medical Center South is about 10 miles away, and Flagler Health+ Village at St. Augustine is roughly 12 miles — solid hospital proximity for a suburban St. Johns County address. Northeast Florida Regional Airport is under 10 miles from the community, and the historic St. Augustine district, including Castillo de San Marcos and St. George Street, is approximately 12 miles south. 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.
