Frequently asked questions

Are single-story homes more expensive per square foot?

Often modestly, yes — a one-story home needs more roof and foundation per finished foot than a two-story of equal size. Buyers pay it willingly: single-story homes tend to hold value well because demand from rightsizing buyers never goes away.

Which St. Johns County communities are mostly single-story?

The 55+ communities — Del Webb Nocatee, Riverwood by Del Webb, Stillwater, WaterSong at RiverTown — are almost entirely single-story. Outside those, most large communities mix one- and two-story plans; this page keeps the filter on for you.

Is a single-story home better in Florida specifically?

There are practical arguments: simpler hurricane prep (one level of windows), easier roof maintenance and inspection, and HVAC systems that don’t fight a two-story stack in August. None decide it alone, but they all lean the same way.

I’ll send new listings the moment they hit the market and walk through the details that don’t show up in the MLS — water access, HOA rules, what a feature really costs to maintain.
