Silverleaf Homes For Sale, St. Johns County

About 95% of SilverLeaf homes sit in FEMA Zone X, the minimal-risk designation that does not require mandatory flood insurance. The remaining share — typically waterfront or water-adjacent homes — fall in higher-risk flood zones where a lender will require flood insurance. Always confirm the specific flood zone for any individual property before you write an offer.

SilverLeaf is served by the St. Johns County School District. Depending on the specific address, elementary students may attend Liberty Pines Academy, Wards Creek, or Magnolia Oaks Academy; middle schoolers Pacetti Bay or Liberty Pines Academy; and high schoolers Tocoi Creek High School. Confirm the current assigned schools for any address, since attendance zones can change.

SilverLeaf offers a wide price range. Homes and townhomes start from the low $300s, and larger single-family estates reach up to roughly $1.5 million. Sizes run from about 1,289 to 4,757 square feet with 2 to 6 bedrooms, so pricing depends heavily on floor plan, lot, and finishes.

There is no CDD in SilverLeaf — and in St. Johns County’s master-plan market, that is the headline: while most large communities here carry a district assessment on the tax bill, SilverLeaf’s developer built without district financing. What you pay instead is a layered HOA. The master association runs about $1,200 a year on most single-family listings; some gated enclaves carry their own line (Evergreen Island listings currently show $2,000 a year); townhome sections run roughly $233–$394 a month with exterior and lawn care bundled in; and Reverie, the gated 55+ village by Toll Brothers inside SilverLeaf, runs about $364–$400 a month with its own amenity campus. Every figure above comes from live MLS listings in this community, and the right comparison is always total carry — a no-CDD home with a $2,000 HOA can still cost less to hold than a CDD community with a $50 HOA. I run that math for buyers on every home.

Yes. SilverLeaf is an active new-construction community within the larger SilverLeaf master plan near St. Augustine, with a large share of newly built homes and construction years including 2022, 2025, and 2026. It offers both single-family homes and townhomes, several within a gated setting, and includes homes offered in an active-adult (55+) format.

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.

They’re the corridor’s two giants, and they fund themselves in opposite ways. RiverTown runs on the CDD model: a ~$53-a-year HOA, with the Rivers Edge districts carrying the amenity campuses on the tax bill — roughly $2,000–$4,900 a year for most single-family homes depending on lot width and phase, per the district’s own FY2026 budget. SilverLeaf is the no-CDD outlier: no district line at all, with a master HOA near $1,200 a year plus sub-neighborhood dues by section. Neither is automatically cheaper — a RiverTown home’s total carry can beat a SilverLeaf home’s once you add SilverLeaf’s sub-association tiers, and the reverse is just as common. What you’re actually choosing is amenity model (RiverTown’s riverfront campuses vs SilverLeaf’s spread of village parks) and bill structure (tax bill vs association dues). I run the true side-by-side — HOA plus district line plus taxes — for every buyer deciding between them.

There’s no automated estimate on this site, on purpose — algorithms average a zip code, and your value turns on the specifics an average can’t see: condition, position, and what the last few Silverleaf sales actually closed for. Every new listing and MLS-recorded sale in Silverleaf surfaces on this page as it happens, so following it is the simplest way to watch your comp set move. When you want a real number, Krista prepares it personally against Silverleaf’s own sales — no algorithm guesses, no obligation.

It depends on the market you list into, not the market you read about — and this page tracks Silverleaf’s pace the honest way, from live MLS activity rather than a static average. The market snapshot above reflects what’s actually happening here right now, and it shifts: the answer in a tight-inventory spring is different from a heavy-inventory fall. Before we ever set a price or a timeline, I read Silverleaf’s current pace — days on market, how recent sales closed against their list prices, and what your home’s specific competition looks like the week we launch.

A few lines beyond the obvious ones. In Silverleaf, plan on: the commission you and Krista agree on, Florida’s documentary stamp tax on the deed, title and closing charges per local custom, the association’s estoppel letter — and because this community carries a district assessment, the CDD line is prorated at closing and must be disclosed to your buyer, which is a paperwork step, not a penalty. Priced and disclosed correctly, it never kills a deal; handled sloppily, it stalls one. Krista runs the full seller’s net sheet against Silverleaf’s actual cost structure before you commit to a number.
