About Lakeway
Lakeway is a Clay County community in Fleming Island where the current market runs from about $529k to $549k, with homes built around 1997. 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: Lakeway 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.

What It's Like to Live in Lakeway
Fleming Island's location puts Lakeway residents within a reasonable drive of Jacksonville's dining and cultural destinations — Restaurant Orsay in Avondale and Matthew's Restaurant in San Marco are each roughly 14 miles away, and the Cowford Chophouse in downtown Jacksonville is about 15 miles out. For a weekend outing, Treaty Oak Park is around 14 miles north, and Big Talbot Island State Park — with its dramatic Boneyard Beach and kayak trails — is about 29 miles away. The St. Augustine Historic District, including Castillo de San Marcos and the pedestrian lanes of St. George Street, is roughly 30 miles to the south and makes for a worthwhile day trip. What buyers often notice touring this area is how much is accessible without the congestion of the beaches corridor.
