How They Compare
Del Webb Nocatee or Watersong At Rivertown?
Del Webb Nocatee and WaterSong at RiverTown are the two newest-generation 55+ communities in St. Johns County, and they present the same decision from two directions: the same age-qualified, amenity-forward product — gated sections, resort clubs, pickleball-era programming — inside two very different master plans. Del Webb Nocatee buys you Nocatee itself: the golf-cart paths, the Splash and Spray parks (via Nocatee residency), the town center, and the scale of the county’s flagship master plan, with the Tolomato CDD assessment that funded it on the tax bill. WaterSong buys you RiverTown’s river identity: Mattamy’s St. Johns riverfront master plan, its own CDD, and a quieter, smaller-community rhythm along the Greenbriar corridor.
The fee structures rhyme but differ in the details that matter at contract time: both carry CDD assessments, both run their own 55+ association on top of master-plan obligations, and Del Webb Nocatee’s published closing figures have included a capital contribution and a dining-credit mechanism billed with dues — the current documents govern both, and the full-stack monthly comparison is the honest way to price the choice. The live numbers above show how the two markets actually trade; the lifestyle question underneath is simpler than it looks: the energy of Nocatee’s town-scale plan, or the river-plan quiet of RiverTown — most buyers know which one they are within an hour of touring both.
