Nocatee Town Center: what is there, what is coming, and the homes a walk away.

Nocatee Town Center is the commercial and amenity core of the master plan, laid out along Marketside Avenue off Nocatee Parkway. Three things share the ground: a retail and dining district, the Town Center Publix that anchors it, and the amenity campus the whole community pays for through the Tolomato CDD, with the Splash Park and Spray Park at its center. The paved Greenway trail system threads the villages into it, which is why golf carts are part of the traffic here.

It is also the only part of Nocatee that is genuinely walkable. Everywhere else in the plan, life runs on the parkway. In the six villages built around Town Center, a coffee, a grocery run and the water park are on foot or by cart. That distinction is what the Town Center villages are priced on.

Chophouse at Nocatee is the Town Center’s upscale anchor, with steaks, seafood and the area’s only rooftop bar. Treylor Park brings its playful Southern menu and a large outdoor space to Marketside Avenue. South Kitchen + Spirits, from the team behind the Avondale original, does Southern classics and the neighborhood’s strongest brunch on Pine Lake Drive. Around them sit the taprooms, coffee and quick-service places that fill in a district.

Groceries are the Town Center Publix on Marketside Avenue, the region’s largest with GreenWise integration, and the newer Publix with Publix Liquors at Marketplace at Nocatee on the Crosswater side, which opened in November 2025. The nearest Sprouts is at the CR-210 shops in 32259. The full 32081 dining and grocery guide

Marketplace at Nocatee, the Publix-anchored center on the Crosswater side, is filling in on a published schedule: SoFresh in late summer 2026, Daily’s in 2026, BODYBAR Pilates in fall 2026. The developer’s July 2026 update puts The Hub at Nocatee, a dining and entertainment marketplace at that center, on a 2028 timeline. It is announced, not under construction, and timelines that far out move. The development-news page tracks each item against permits and primary sources, including the Harris Teeter rumor, which checks out as false. Nocatee development news, verified

Six villages sit around the Town Center core. Addison Park, Daniel Park, Enclave, Siena and Lakeside are the compact ones: townhomes, cottages and smaller single-family plans, most of them within a few blocks of Marketside Avenue. West End at Town Center is the largest, with the most inventory and its own page. The homes shown on this page are the live listings across all six.

The trade the Town Center villages make is space for proximity. Lots are smaller than in Twenty Mile or Coastal Oaks, many of the homes are attached, and the HOA carries more of the exterior in the townhome enclaves. In exchange the walk is real and the monthly line for yard care is smaller. Which side of that trade you want is the first question I ask. Addison Park and the Town Center villages

The Splash Park, the Spray Park and the community pools are resident amenities, funded by the CDD assessment every Nocatee household pays. They are not open to the public. The Nocatee Preserve, 2,400 acres on the Tolomato River with more than three miles of trail, and the Greenway trails are county-managed and open to everyone. If you are weighing the CDD line, that split is the honest way to think about what it buys. Nocatee CDD fees, explained
