How They Compare
Rivertown or Silverleaf?
RiverTown and SilverLeaf are both St. Johns County master plans, but they sit in different parts of the county with different school assignments. RiverTown lines the St. Johns River on the county’s west side, reports Bartram Trail High, and leans into its riverfront identity — the Riverhouse amenity center and the riverfront parks are the draw; current listings run roughly $450,000 to $1.06 million. SilverLeaf sits east on the CR-210 corridor, reports Tocoi Creek High, is larger with several gated villages, and is still actively building; its listings span the high $200s to about $1.65 million.
The practical split is setting and scale. RiverTown offers St. Johns River frontage and a more established, Bartram-Trail-zoned position; SilverLeaf offers a larger, newer, more-gated footprint with active new construction and a higher price ceiling on the Tocoi Creek side. Both carry CDD assessments on the tax bill. Verify the zoning for any specific address. Buyers weigh riverfront-and-established (RiverTown) against newer-gated-and-larger-selection (SilverLeaf).
Torn between them?
The right answer depends on commute, schools, HOA/CDD costs, and lifestyle — Krista has walked buyers through both for years and will tell you straight which fits your situation.
