Living Here
What It's Like to Live in Preserve At St Johns
Day-to-day life here puts The Pavilion at Durbin Park about 5 miles away, a major retail destination with Walmart, Home Depot, and a growing roster of national restaurants that handles most routine errands quickly. For dining out, Aqua Grill on the lake at Sawgrass Village and the long-running JJ's Bistro de Paris are both roughly 12 miles away in Ponte Vedra Beach, with Restaurant Medure nearby for special occasions. Outdoor recreation extends to the Guana Tolomato Matanzas Research Reserve — about 12 miles east — where 76,000 acres of protected coastal wilderness offer hiking, birding, and beach access between Ponte Vedra Beach and St. Augustine. THE PLAYERS Championship at TPC Sawgrass, about 12 miles away, is also within easy reach each March, making this a convenient base for one of professional golf's marquee events.

Contemporary and traditional architectural styles define the streetscape, and interiors typically feature open floorplans, kitchen islands, butler's pantries, walk-in closets, and primary suites on the main level. Some homes sit on preserve or canal lots, and a portion include private pools. I don't publish fee numbers that can go stale. When you're serious about a home here, I pull the current HOA and assessment figures for that exact lot.
Amenities
Preserve At St Johns Amenities & Community Features
Preserve At St Johns includes a community playground as a shared neighborhood amenity. While the community itself is fairly intimate in its on-site offerings, the surrounding area fills in the gaps — the Palencia Club's Arthur Hills-designed course is about 8 miles away, and TPC Sawgrass is roughly 12 miles out for golfers. What surprises people touring here is how much the large homesites and preserve- or canal-facing backyards function as private outdoor amenity space in their own right.

Questions
Frequently Asked Questions about Preserve At St Johns
What are the HOA fees like in Preserve At St Johns?
I do not publish fee numbers that go stale within a budget cycle; for any home here I confirm the current association dues and any district line. When you're serious about a home here, I pull the current HOA and assessment figures for that exact lot. That is a relatively modest figure for a newer St. Johns County community with homes in the upper $800s to $1 million range. Buyers should also confirm whether any CDD assessment appears separately on the property tax bill, as that is common in newer St. Johns County developments.
How far is Preserve At St Johns from the beach?
Mickler's Landing in Ponte Vedra Beach is about 14 miles east — roughly a 20-minute drive in light traffic. Ponte Vedra Beach itself, with its 20 miles of quiet Atlantic coastline, is about 15 miles out. Jacksonville Beach, the more lively option with a pier and walkable downtown, is around 18 miles away.
When were the homes in Preserve At St Johns built, and what do they typically look like?
The homes here were built between 2018 and 2020, so they are relatively recent construction with modern finishes. Most are 4- to 5-bedroom single-family homes ranging from about 3,150 to over 4,100 square feet, with contemporary or traditional exteriors and interiors that commonly include open floorplans, kitchen islands, butler's pantries, and primary suites on the main level. Some lots back up to preserve or canal views, adding a sense of privacy that is hard to find in newer subdivisions.
