Nocatee Homes For Sale

Day-to-day life in Nocatee is genuinely self-contained in a way I rarely see in master-planned communities. Publix at Nocatee Town Center is about a mile and a half away, and the Town Center itself puts First Watch, Treylor Park, Anejo Cocina Mexicana, and The Kookaburra all within roughly a mile and a half of most neighborhoods. The Nocatee Splash Water Park and Nocatee Greenway Trails are under a mile from the center of the community, and the YMCA at Nocatee is less than two miles away. For a broader retail run, The Pavilion at Durbin Park — anchored by Walmart, Home Depot, and a growing mix of restaurants and national retailers — is about 15 to 20 minutes northwest via the Nocatee Parkway and CR-210, and Costco and Buc-ee's sit farther out at World Commerce Parkway near World Golf Village. You can read more about events and amenity programming on the official Nocatee community site.

Homes in Nocatee span a wide range of types and sizes, from compact 2-bedroom condos and townhomes starting around 1,100 square feet to spacious 5- and 6-bedroom single-family homes exceeding 3,500 square feet. The dominant styles are Traditional, Villa, Craftsman, and Ranch — reflecting the community's post-2005 build-out under builders such as Toll Brothers, David Weekley Homes, ICI Homes, and Dostie Homes. Open floor plans are the norm, and interiors commonly feature kitchen islands, walk-in closets, breakfast bars, split bedroom layouts, smart thermostats, and primary suites on the main level. The current market runs from the low $300s to over $3 million — most resale inventory falls between the $400s and the $800s, while new construction and luxury estates reach the top of that range. HOA dues are village-specific and generally modest — most villages run about $100 to $250 a month, with amenity-heavy and 55+ villages toward the higher end — because Nocatee's big shared infrastructure is funded separately: the CDD assessment, a distinct line on your county property-tax bill (St. Johns for most of Nocatee, Duval for the northern villages), never part of the HOA dues. Across everything on the market at once, the median asking price sits in the high $600s — the Market Snapshot on this page tracks the live number.

For buyers entering the Nocatee market, the most accessible price points start in the low $300s and run up to roughly $680,000 — well below the community's overall median. The neighborhoods seeing the most activity at entry-level price points include West End at Town Center and Nocatee's core townhome and villa sections, as well as portions of Seabrook. Del Webb Nocatee and Riverwood (marketed as Del Webb Ponte Vedra) also appear in this segment, where attached and paired-home product offers lower per-square-foot costs and reduced exterior maintenance. Typical homes in this range run 2 to 4 bedrooms, often with open floor plans, modern finishes, and access to Nocatee's full amenity network. It's worth noting that HOA fees vary significantly by sub-neighborhood, so budgeting should account for both HOA dues and any applicable CDD assessment.

Nocatee's upper tier — homes priced from the mid-$800s to over $3 million — is concentrated in a handful of prestige addresses. Coastal Oaks at Nocatee and Coral Ridge represent some of the most refined product in the community, with larger lots and elevated finish levels. Twenty Mile at Nocatee and Palm Crest at Nocatee bring estate-scale single-family homes, while Settlers Landing rounds out the luxury sub-neighborhood options. Across this segment, homes typically offer 3 to 6 bedrooms, and many sit on waterfront or preserve lots that command premiums within an already sought-after community. In the years I've worked this market, the luxury end of Nocatee has attracted buyers who want genuinely new construction with high-end finishes but don't want to sacrifice the amenity infrastructure and school access that the broader community provides.

New construction is actively under way across Nocatee, with homes priced from the mid-$300s to over $3 million. The most active new-build neighborhoods include Seabrook, West End at Town Center, Woodland Park at Nocatee, Reflections, and River Landing, as well as ongoing phases simply branded as Nocatee. Builders are delivering 2- to 6-bedroom homes in a range of product types, from townhomes and paired villas to larger single-family plans. General construction activity runs along corridors including Caiden, Seamark, Big Pine, Dawes, and Islington. Because the developer controls lot releases, new phases tend to move quickly — buyers tracking active builds should plan on following phase announcements closely rather than assuming availability will hold.

Roughly 57 homes in Nocatee carry waterfront designations, spanning pond, lake, creek, and marsh settings — priced from the low $300s up to about $2.2 million. The widest range of waterfront options appears in Del Webb Nocatee, Twenty Mile at Nocatee, Liberty Cove at Crosswater, Pioneer Village, Crosswater Village, and Coastal Oaks at Nocatee. Most of the water here is interior — ponds, freshwater lakes, and tidal creeks winding through the community's preserve corridors — rather than Intracoastal or ocean frontage. Marsh-edge lots in particular offer long, open views that feel distinctly Northeast Florida. Homes in this segment typically offer 2 to 5 bedrooms, and the price spread reflects the significant difference between a pond-view townhome and a custom estate on a creek lot in Coastal Oaks.

Nocatee includes a substantial 55-and-older active-adult segment across three age-restricted communities: Del Webb Nocatee, Del Webb Ponte Vedra — the original Del Webb here, in the village of Riverwood — and Artisan Lakes. Prices in this segment currently run from the $300s to just under $1 million, with a typical listing around $489,000. Homes range from 2 to 4 bedrooms across attached villas, carriage homes, and detached single-family plans. Del Webb Ponte Vedra and Artisan Lakes are gated, and Artisan Lakes includes its own pool, clubhouse, fitness center, pickleball, bocce, and a putting green within the neighborhood. These are lawful age-restricted (55+) communities — confirm each community's specific age-qualification rules directly with its HOA. For the full Northeast Florida picture, see my 55+ and active-adult community guide.

Many of the homes currently available in Nocatee sit within gated sub-neighborhoods, priced from the mid-$300s to over $3 million. The primary gated addresses are Del Webb Nocatee, Coastal Oaks at Nocatee, Riverwood (marketed as Del Webb Ponte Vedra), River Landing, and Coral Ridge. The gated options here cover a wide spectrum — from age-restricted villa communities to large-lot estate neighborhoods — so "gated" in Nocatee means something quite different depending on which neighborhood you're considering. Homes in this segment range from 2 to 6 bedrooms. Buyers who prioritize a manned or card-access entry should verify gate operations neighborhood by neighborhood, as staffing and access protocols vary.

Nocatee's community-wide amenities are genuinely extensive: a resort-style pool, the Nocatee Splash Water Park, fitness centers, pickleball and tennis courts, a clubhouse at Crosswater Hall, jogging paths, parks, dog parks, playgrounds, basketball courts, and miles of greenway trails. Within the broader community footprint, Baptist Primary Care at Nocatee provides primary medical access less than two miles away. The YMCA at Nocatee, also under two miles, adds another fitness option beyond the community's own facilities. Nocatee Community Park is about a half-mile from the center of the community, and most sub-neighborhoods connect directly to the shared trail and sidewalk network — making it possible to reach the Town Center, water park, or parks without getting in a car.

Nocatee sits primarily in northern St. Johns County — its northernmost villages cross into Duval County (Jacksonville) — accessible from US-1 to the west and A1A to the east. Mickler's Landing Beach is about 7 miles away, and Ponte Vedra Beach is roughly 10 miles northeast — about 10 to 15 minutes in light traffic. Downtown Jacksonville is 30 to 40 minutes north depending on conditions, and the St. Augustine Historic District is about 20 minutes south. Baptist Medical Center South is a quick run up 9B, and Mayo Clinic Florida is roughly 16 miles northeast — about 25 to 30 minutes in normal traffic. Jacksonville International Airport is about 40 miles north — plan on 40 to 45 minutes. The community's internal road network has multiple access points, which helps distribute traffic, though peak-hour congestion on US-1 and the CR 210 corridor can add time to outbound commutes.

Schools serving this area include Pine Island Academy, Valley Ridge Academy, and Palm Valley Academy at the elementary and middle levels, and Allen D. Nease and Ponte Vedra High School at the high school level for the St. Johns County areas, while Nocatee's small Duval-zoned pocket (such as Brookwood) is served by Atlantic Coast High School. Because Nocatee spans multiple school zones, the specific school assignment depends entirely on the home's address. The St. Johns County School District boundary tool is the most reliable way to confirm which schools serve a particular property before making an offer.

The clearest difference between Brookwood and Tidewater is security: Tidewater is gated, Brookwood is not. Both neighborhoods sit within Nocatee and share its community-wide amenity network, but they feed different schools — Brookwood is zoned for Bartram Springs Elementary, Twin Lakes Academy Middle, and Atlantic Coast High, while Tidewater is zoned for Pine Island Academy and Allen D. Nease High. On price, Tidewater runs from the $490s to $500,000, while Brookwood spans the $430s to mid-$490s. Homes in Tidewater tend to be slightly larger, typically around 2,100 square feet with 4 bedrooms, compared to Brookwood's range of roughly 1,550 to 2,400 square feet. Neither neighborhood currently has active new construction. Buyers weighing the two usually come down to school zone preference and whether a gated entry matters enough to narrow the lot and style options.

Artisan Lakes and Greenleaf Lakes share a price overlap — Artisan Lakes runs from the $470s to the low $800s, Greenleaf Lakes from the mid-$500s to the low $900s — but they serve entirely different buyers. Artisan Lakes is a gated 55+/age-restricted community with its own pool, clubhouse, fitness center, pickleball, and tennis, and homes run 2 to 3 bedrooms in ranch and traditional styles. Greenleaf Lakes is open to all ages, zoned for Valley Ridge Academy and Allen D. Nease High, and offers 3- to 4-bedroom homes from about 2,100 to 3,200 square feet in traditional, contemporary, and ranch styles with a full community amenity set. Neither neighborhood has active new construction currently. The age-restriction designation at Artisan Lakes is the defining differentiator — buyers who qualify and value that environment will find a distinct lifestyle there, while Greenleaf Lakes appeals to a broader buyer pool.

Greenleaf Village and Willowcove are both non-gated, non-age-restricted neighborhoods within Nocatee, but they differ meaningfully on scale and price. Greenleaf Village homes run from the mid-$400s to nearly $1 million, with a median around $620,000 and sizes ranging from about 1,500 to 3,750 square feet — a 4-bedroom traditional or ranch at the typical end. Willowcove homes start similarly but reach higher, running from the mid-$400s to $1.15 million with a median near $770,000 and sizes of roughly 2,100 to 3,800 square feet. Willowcove is zoned for Palm Valley Academy through middle school, then Allen D. Nease High; Greenleaf Village feeds Valley Ridge Academy and also Allen D. Nease High. Both neighborhoods offer comparable community amenities: pool, clubhouse, fitness, pickleball, tennis, and trails. Buyers choosing between them often come down to school zone — Palm Valley vs. Valley Ridge — and whether the larger median home size in Willowcove justifies the higher price point.
