The Homes
The Cove Homes & Architecture
Homes in The Cove are single-family residences built around 2022, with traditional architectural styling and living spaces typically running from roughly 2,950 to 3,300 square feet. Four bedrooms and 3.5 to 4 bathrooms are the norm, and layouts tend to feature open floorplans, a primary suite on the main floor, and in-law-friendly configurations — details that reflect thoughtful new-construction planning rather than retrofitting. Impact windows, built-in features, walk-in and his-and-hers closets, and an eat-in kitchen with pantry are common interior appointments. Price-wise, homes here generally range from the mid-$700s into the low-$900s, and about half the homes available have water frontage.

The Cove Amenities & Community Features
The Cove is a gated community with a clubhouse, community pool, fitness center, pickleball courts, tennis courts, and a jogging path — a genuinely full amenity package for a neighborhood of this size. A dog park and playground round out the outdoor offerings, and sidewalks throughout the community make the streetscape walkable. The reliable way to know the fees here is per home. I confirm current association and district numbers before you write an offer.

Questions
Frequently Asked Questions about The Cove
What are HOA fees like in The Cove?
I do not publish fee numbers that go stale within a budget cycle; for any home here I confirm the current association dues and any district line.
How new are the homes in The Cove, and what condition should I expect?
Homes in The Cove were built around 2022, making them among the newer construction in this part of St. Johns County. Buyers can generally expect modern finishes, open floorplans, impact windows, and primary suites on the main floor — features that reflect current building standards rather than updates layered onto older construction. That said, some owners have added post-closing improvements, so home-by-home finish levels can vary even within a tight price range.
Are there waterfront homes available in The Cove?
Yes — a portion of the homes in The Cove back to water or protected preserve, with those lots typically commanding positions with enhanced privacy and views. Waterfront availability within the community can shift with the market, so the best way to see what's currently positioned on water is to pull up the active listings directly.
