About Pomona Heights
Pomona Heights is a Putnam County community in Pomona Park where the current market runs from about $575k to $680k, with homes built 1978–2007. 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: Pomona Heights 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.
Living Here
What It's Like to Live in Pomona Heights
Pomona Heights sits in the quieter, more rural stretch of Northeast Florida, where daily life moves at a different pace than the busier corridors to the east. For entertainment and culture, St. George Street in historic St. Augustine — a cobblestone pedestrian district lined with shops, restaurants, and galleries — is about 32 miles away, as is Castillo de San Marcos, the 17th-century Spanish fort on Matanzas Bay. Buyers who enjoy live music will find the St. Augustine Amphitheatre, a 4,000-seat outdoor venue hosting national touring acts, about 31 miles from the neighborhood. What surprises people when they first start looking at this area is how much of the appeal is simply the land itself — acreage, privacy, and water.
The Homes
Pomona Heights Homes & Architecture
Homes in Pomona Heights are single-family, ranch-style properties, typically running around 1,900 to 2,200 square feet with 3 bedrooms and 2 to 2.5 bathrooms. The price range generally falls from the upper $500s into the upper $600s, and the neighborhood includes both older homes built in the late 1970s and more recent construction from the early 2000s. Inside, you'll commonly find features like kitchen islands, breakfast bars, eat-in kitchens, pantries, guest suites, and primary bedrooms on the main floor. Some homes include fire pits, storm shutters, and hurricane-impact windows — practical touches that reflect the realities of Florida living. Waterfront properties here can include lake access, and at least one has an existing dock permit already secured.
Location
Pomona Heights Location & Commute
Pomona Heights is situated in Pomona Park within Putnam County, placing it in a rural part of Northeast Florida removed from the coastal development of St. Johns County and Jacksonville's Southside. The neighborhood lies roughly 32 miles from the historic district of downtown St. Augustine and about the same distance from the St. Augustine Amphitheatre, making both reachable in under an hour. This is genuinely rural terrain — buyers should plan on longer drives for everyday grocery and medical needs, and factor that trade-off against the privacy, acreage, and waterfront access the area offers. For those with flexibility in where they work or shop, the distance from urban centers is part of the draw, not a concession.
Schools
Schools Near Pomona Heights
Pomona Heights is served by Crescent City Middle School and Crescent City High School, both part of Putnam County schools. Elementary school zoning was not confirmed for this area — I'd recommend verifying your specific address with the district's official school locator before relying on any assignment. School assignments are always address-specific and can change, so confirming directly with the district is the right step.

Questions
Frequently Asked Questions about Pomona Heights
Is there a homeowners association in Pomona Heights?
Based on what I have on this neighborhood, there does not appear to be an HOA in Pomona Heights — I don't have HOA fee data on hand for this community. That said, I'd recommend confirming with a title search or the county, since HOA status can vary by parcel or plat. It's always worth verifying before closing.
What is the waterfront situation like in Pomona Heights?
About half the homes in Pomona Heights have waterfront positioning, with lake access being the primary water feature in this area. At least some properties include or have the groundwork laid for dock access — one home I'm aware of already had a dock permit secured. If lake-based activities like fishing or boating are part of what you're looking for, this neighborhood is worth a serious look.
How far is Pomona Heights from St. Augustine or Jacksonville?
Pomona Heights is roughly 32 miles from the historic heart of St. Augustine, including St. George Street and Castillo de San Marcos — typically under an hour depending on traffic. Jacksonville's core is farther northeast, and buyers should expect this to be a more rural, drive-dependent lifestyle for day-to-day essentials. If you want specifics on commute routes for a particular employer or destination, I'm happy to work through that with you.
