Rivertown Forest Homes For Sale, St. Johns

The HOA fee in Rivertown Forest is notably low — currently running about $53 per year, billed annually. That's one of the more affordable HOA structures you'll find in a community with this level of amenities, which includes a pool, fitness center, clubhouse, pickleball, and more. Buyers should still confirm the current fee and any CDD or community assessments with their agent at the time of purchase.

Yes — roughly a quarter of the homes in Rivertown Forest sit on waterfront homesites, which is a meaningful share for a community this size. The neighborhood is part of the broader RiverTown area along the St. Johns River corridor, and waterfront lots tend to carry a premium within the community's price range. If a water view is a priority, it's worth asking specifically about available waterfront lots when exploring the new-construction options.

All of the homes in Rivertown Forest are being built by Mattamy Homes, one of the larger private homebuilders operating in the greater Jacksonville area. The floor plans range from just under 1,800 square feet to over 3,500 square feet, giving buyers a variety of sizes and layouts to consider within the community. As a new-construction neighborhood, buyers typically work directly with the builder's sales team, though having independent representation is always advisable.

Start with the record, not a formula. An algorithm cannot see a renovated kitchen, a preserve lot or a roof from 2024, and in a neighborhood the size of Rivertown Forest those are the things that move a price. This page lists every new Rivertown Forest listing and recorded sale as it happens; follow it and the comps come to you. When you are ready for a number, I run the valuation personally against Rivertown Forest's actual closings.

Faster than the county average when the price matches the comps, slower when it does not, and Rivertown Forest is no exception. The live snapshot on this page shows the current pace; the homes for sale below are the competition. I read both the week we launch and set the price and the timeline from them.

Fewer lines than most sellers expect, and worth knowing exactly. In Rivertown Forest, plan on the commission you and I agree on, Florida's documentary stamp tax on the deed (70 cents per $100 of price), title and closing charges that follow local custom, the association's estoppel letter, and, where the home carries one, the community development district line, prorated at closing and disclosed to your buyer; handled correctly it is paperwork, handled late it stalls a contract. I run the net sheet against Rivertown Forest's actual cost structure before you commit to a number, so the proceeds figure is real.

Forest is one of Mattamy Homes’ currently-selling villages in RiverTown — all single-family, with plans running roughly 1,400 to 3,500 square feet and a large share of homesites backing to preserve rather than neighbors. It’s the village where RiverTown’s entry and middle price points live right now, which makes it the natural first stop for buyers comparing the master plan against SilverLeaf and the CR-210 corridor. Like the rest of RiverTown, the amenity world here is funded by the Rivers Edge Community Development Districts rather than a big HOA — the association line on most listings is about $53 a year, and the district assessment rides the St. Johns County tax bill, scaled by lot width (roughly $1,300–$2,800 a year in maintenance per the district’s FY2026 budget, plus a debt line that varies by phase). That stack is what operates the RiverClub, RiverHouse, and RiverLodge campuses, the kayak launch, and the river pier. I pull the exact parcel’s district line on every RiverTown home my buyers consider.
