About Pinewalk
St. Johns County’s next big master plan: BTI Partners’ Pinewalk, at Longleaf Pine Parkway and Greenbriar Road, is slated for 3,500 homes and 2.5 million square feet of non-residential uses per 2026 reporting. Its first two neighborhoods — Taylor Morrison’s Esplanade at Pinewalk (a 55-plus community) and the all-ages Laurelwood — are expected to open for sales in mid-2027, joining the Greenbriar corridor that already includes Del Webb Saint Johns and the Landings at Greenbriar. Nothing is listed yet; the alert below fires the day that changes.

What It's Like to Live in Pinewalk
Pinewalk's location along the Greenbriar corridor puts residents within about 9 miles of The Pavilion at Durbin Park, where Costco and a growing mix of national retailers anchor everyday shopping. Fine dining along the First Coast — Restaurant Medure on A1A in Ponte Vedra Beach and Matthew's Restaurant in Jacksonville's San Marco neighborhood — is roughly 16 to 18 miles away. For outdoor time, the Guana Tolomato Matanzas Research Reserve, with 76,000 acres of coastal wilderness for hiking and birding, is about 16 miles east, and Anastasia State Park in St. Augustine is roughly 24 miles south. What I hear most from people watching this corridor is that the appeal is getting into a community early, before the full build-out of amenities and retail that typically follows a project of this scale.

Schools Near Pinewalk
The Bolles School, a private school, is noted in connection with this area. Because Pinewalk is a community still in development with zoning boundaries that will evolve as build-out progresses, school assignments for any specific address should be verified directly with the St. Johns County School District's official school locator.
Questions
Frequently Asked Questions about Pinewalk
When will homes at Pinewalk be available to purchase?
Based on 2026 reporting, the first two neighborhoods — Taylor Morrison's Esplanade at Pinewalk (a 55-plus community) and Laurelwood, an all-ages neighborhood — are expected to open for sales in mid-2027. Pinewalk is a large master-planned development, so additional neighborhoods and phases will likely follow over many years. Signing up for listing alerts is the most reliable way to know the moment sales begin.
What will the broader Pinewalk community include beyond homes?
BTI Partners' plan for Pinewalk calls for approximately 3,500 homes alongside roughly 2.5 million square feet of non-residential uses — meaning retail, commercial, and potentially mixed-use components are part of the long-range vision. The community will sit along the Greenbriar corridor, which already includes Del Webb Saint Johns and the Landings at Greenbriar, giving the area an established residential context even before Pinewalk's first homes open.
Is Esplanade at Pinewalk restricted to residents 55 and older?
Yes — Esplanade at Pinewalk is planned as a 55-plus age-restricted community by Taylor Morrison. Laurelwood, the other first-phase neighborhood at Pinewalk, is an all-ages community. Buyers specifically interested in the 55-plus designation should confirm age-restriction details with Taylor Morrison directly as the community approaches its sales launch.
