Closed sales from the realMLS IDX feed; years with fewer than three sales are omitted. Medians, not estimates of any one home. "Of asking" is the median sold price as a share of the final list price. † A partial year in the feed: it carries only some of that year’s sales, so the median rests on fewer homes and the percent change above starts at the first full year.

Amenities
The Palms Amenities & Community Features
The Palms community is well-equipped for an active, low-maintenance lifestyle, with a pool, children's pool, fitness center, clubhouse, tennis courts, basketball court, dog park, playground, and a jogging path all available to residents. Sidewalks, street lights, and curbs throughout the neighborhood make it easy to move around on foot. Beyond the community's own amenities, residents have access to the broader Nocatee amenity network — including two resort-style water parks and the Nocatee Crosswater Hall event and programming center — which adds significant recreational value.

Questions
Frequently Asked Questions about The Palms
What are the HOA fees like in The Palms at Nocatee?
HOA fees in The Palms are billed semi-annually, with recent assessments ranging from roughly $1,600 to just under $2,000 per period depending on the unit. These fees cover community amenities including the pool, fitness center, tennis courts, dog park, and shared maintenance. Buyers should also ask about any applicable CDD (Community Development District) assessments, which fund Nocatee's broader infrastructure and amenities and are typically reflected in the annual property tax bill.
What type of homes are available in The Palms, and what do they typically cost?
The Palms is a townhome community, with most homes offering 2 to 3 bedrooms and 2 to 2.5 baths across roughly 1,250 to 1,800 square feet of living space. Prices have generally ranged from the mid-$300s to the low-$400s, which positions The Palms as one of the more accessible entry points into the Nocatee master-planned community. Homes were largely built in 2016–2017 and tend to feature open floor plans, kitchen islands, and in several cases a primary suite on the main level.
How close is The Palms to the beach?
Mickler's Landing Beach in Ponte Vedra Beach is about 6 miles from The Palms — typically a 10-to-15-minute drive depending on traffic. Ponte Vedra Beach itself is roughly 8 to 9 miles, and Jacksonville Beach is about 11 miles. Having that kind of beach access while living in a community like Nocatee is one of the genuine advantages of this location on the First Coast.
How much is my home in The Palms worth?
The honest answer is a range until someone walks the house. The spread inside The Palms comes from lot, condition and timing, and a public estimate flattens all of that into a ZIP-code average. Follow this page and every The Palms listing, price change and recorded sale reaches you as it posts. For the real number, I prepare a valuation against The Palms's recent sales, free and without obligation.
How long does it take to sell a home in The Palms?
The Palms's pace is on this page, live, and it is a better guide than any published average. The number moves with inventory and season, so the answer in March is not the answer in October. What I can control is position: a The Palms home priced against its actual competition and prepared for photos sells inside the median, and one priced to a hope sits past it.
What does it cost to sell a home in The Palms?
The list is short; the net is what matters. In The Palms, 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 The Palms's actual cost structure before you commit to a number, so the proceeds figure is real.
