Julington Creek Homes For Sale, St. Johns County

HOA fees in Julington Creek are assessed annually and generally range from roughly $280 to about $600 per year depending on the specific section or sub-neighborhood within the community. It's worth noting that these fees cover access to the community's extensive amenity campus — clubhouse, fitness center, pools, tennis courts, and more. Buyers should also ask their agent about any applicable CDD (Community Development District) assessments, which are separate from the HOA and appear as a line item on the property tax bill.

Yes — roughly 17 percent of homes in Julington Creek carry some form of waterfront exposure, which is a meaningful share for an established suburban community. Waterfront properties here tend to sit at the higher end of the local price range, which spans from the low $200s up into the multi-millions. If a water view or direct water access is a priority, it's worth filtering specifically for those listings, as they turn over less frequently than the broader inventory.

The closest public beach access from Julington Creek is Mickler's Landing, about 15 miles to the east — a drive that runs roughly 20 to 25 minutes under normal conditions. Ponte Vedra Beach is similarly close at about 16 miles, and Jacksonville Beach is about 17 miles away. It's a reasonable day-trip distance, though not the kind of quick jaunt you'd have if you lived directly on the coast.

Yes — and it works differently than most golf communities. Julington Creek Golf Club sits inside the community at 1111 Durbin Creek Blvd: a public 18-hole, par-72 course that opened in 1992 (longtime locals knew it as The Champions Club), was renovated in summer 2022 — rebuilt bunkers, laser-leveled tees, reconstructed greens — and was purchased in October 2024 by GreatLIFE Golf, a national operator. Public is the key word: you get a course in the neighborhood without a club obligation anywhere on your closing sheet — no initiation, no mandatory dues. Two nearby clubs get confused with it: St. Johns Golf & Country Club down CR-210 is a separate club community, and Cimarrone is another. If golf matters to your search, I’ll walk you through how the three actually differ.

This is Julington Creek Plantation’s quiet advantage. The CDD here doesn’t just fund infrastructure — the district itself owns and operates the amenities: the Plantation Club Recreation Center, the Tide Club — the $34 million aquatics campus that opened in 2026, with resort pools, a 10-lane competition pool, and the Tide & Tonic bar and grill, the Sportsplex, eight clay tennis courts, and Plantation Park. The assessment rides the tax bill at $1,385.44 a year for a single-family home (about $846 for a townhome) per the district’s own FY2025 adopted totals — for a district that owns a water park, one of the most modest master-plan lines in the county, because the community is mature and its original build-out is long financed. Newer corridors carry two to three times that for comparable amenity campuses. One wrinkle worth knowing: a few neighborhoods that predate the CDD voted out of membership, and owners there buy recreation access separately — so I confirm the membership status of the specific address on every Julington Creek home my buyers consider. HOA dues on most listings here run around $580 a year on top.

Every big master plan in the county funds its amenities differently, and the HOA line alone will mislead you on all five. Julington Creek: the CDD owns the amenities outright — rec center, water park, Sportsplex — and charges $1,385/yr for a single-family home (FY2025 adopted), one of the county’s most modest district lines because the build-out is long financed; HOA about $580/yr. Aberdeen: HOA about $50/yr, with the Aberdeen CDD carrying the amenity structure at roughly $1,994–$2,803/yr scaled by lot width (FY2026 adopted budget). Murabella: the same inversion — HOA $50–$150/yr, Murabella CDD on the order of $2,800/yr. Markland: a real POA plus the Southaven CDD at roughly $3,000–$3,500/yr scaled by lot width. Silverleaf: the outlier — no CDD at all, with a master HOA near $1,200/yr plus sub-neighborhood dues by section. Every figure comes from the districts’ own adopted budgets or live MLS listings, and the lesson is the same everywhere: compare total carry — HOA plus district line plus taxes — not the association sticker. I run that side-by-side for buyers deciding between these communities.

The honest answer is a range until someone walks the house. Over the two years to September 2026, 122 Julington Creek homes closed through the MLS at a median of $490,000. The spread inside Julington Creek comes from lot, condition and timing, and a public estimate flattens all of that into a ZIP-code average. Follow this page and every Julington Creek listing, price change and recorded sale reaches you as it posts. For the real number, I prepare a valuation against Julington Creek's recent sales, free and without obligation.

Julington Creek's pace is on this page, live, and it is a better guide than any published average. The 122 Julington Creek sales recorded over the two years to September 2026 spent a median of 28 days on the market. The number moves with inventory and season, so the answer in March is not the answer in October. What I can control is position: a Julington Creek home priced against its actual competition and prepared for photos sells inside the median, and one priced to a hope sits past it.

Fewer lines than most sellers expect, and worth knowing exactly. In Julington Creek, plan on the commission you and I agree on, Florida's documentary stamp tax on the deed (70 cents per $100 of price), title and closing charges that follow local custom, the association's estoppel letter, and the community development district line, which is prorated at closing and disclosed to your buyer; handled correctly it is paperwork, handled late it stalls a contract. I put the full seller's net sheet in front of you before the sign goes up; the true-cost promise on this site runs in both directions.
