Doctors Landing is a Clay County community in Middleburg where the current market runs from about $523k to $1.2M, with homes built 1987–1996. Every listing below is live from the MLS — the same data, tax truth, and flood detail as everywhere else on this site, updated continuously. A note on how I work this area: Doctors Landing sits beyond the St. Johns County and Beaches corridor I serve street-by-street every day. The data here is real and current, and when you are ready to tour or list, I will introduce you to the colleague at my Christie's International Real Estate office who knows this market best — and stay involved as your advocate from first call to closing.

The Homes
Doctors Landing Homes & Architecture
Homes in Doctors Landing are traditional-style single-family residences, typically running around 2,400 to 2,650 square feet with four bedrooms and three bathrooms. Prices range from the mid-$500s to about $1.2 million, reflecting the spread between non-waterfront pool homes and those sitting on roughly 100 feet of frontage on Doctors Lake. Inside, expect layouts built for everyday living — split-bedroom floor plans, vaulted ceilings, eat-in kitchens with breakfast bars and pantries, entrance foyers, walk-in closets, and in-law or guest suites with private baths. What surprises people touring here is how well the homes have been maintained, and how much outdoor living the lots support — every home in the neighborhood has a private pool.

Questions
Frequently Asked Questions about Doctors Landing
What are HOA fees like in Doctors Landing?
Dues and district assessments differ lot to lot in a community like this, so I verify the current numbers per home rather than quote a page figure. Buyers sometimes ask me what that covers; it's worth confirming the specific inclusions with the HOA directly before closing, as assessments and what they fund can vary.
Are there waterfront homes available in Doctors Landing, and what does waterfront access look like?
A portion of homes in Doctors Landing front Doctors Lake, offering direct water access for boating and fishing. The lake connects to the broader St. Johns River system, which means you can travel by water to destinations like Whitey's Fish Camp and beyond. Waterfront homes in the neighborhood command the upper end of the price range, toward the $1.2 million mark, while non-waterfront homes — all of which still have private pools — come in closer to the mid-$500s.
How far is Doctors Landing from downtown Jacksonville and the beaches?
Doctors Landing is positioned in Middleburg, which puts downtown Jacksonville approximately 16 to 17 miles away — plan for 25 to 35 minutes depending on traffic and your route. The beaches at Ponte Vedra are about 25 miles to the east, and Jacksonville International Airport is roughly 27 miles north.
