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.

The Homes
Walden Chase Homes & Architecture
Homes in Walden Chase are exclusively single-family and were built primarily in the early 2000s, giving the neighborhood a settled, established feel with mature landscaping. Typical floor plans run from roughly 2,000 to about 3,100 square feet, most often with 3 to 5 bedrooms and 2 to 3.5 bathrooms. Architectural styles lean traditional, with some contemporary and ranch floor plans in the mix. Inside, you'll commonly find open floor plans, vaulted ceilings, kitchen islands with breakfast bars, split bedroom layouts, walk-in closets, and primary suites with soaking tubs and separate showers. Prices generally range from the $400s into the mid-$600s, and a portion of the homes sit on lakefront lots or include private pools — two features that tend to stand out in this price range for St. Johns County.
Amenities
Walden Chase Amenities & Community Features
Walden Chase residents have access to a community pool, a children's pool, tennis courts, a basketball court, and a playground — a solid amenity package for a neighborhood with modest annual HOA fees. Sidewalks and street lights run throughout the community, making it easy to get around on foot. For golf, the Palencia Club is roughly 3 miles away, and St. Johns Golf & Country Club is about 5 miles out.
Location
Walden Chase Location & Commute

Mickler's Landing Beach is about 8 miles to the east, and Ponte Vedra Beach is around 11 miles away — close enough for a regular beach outing without being in the heart of beach traffic.

Questions
Frequently Asked Questions about Walden Chase
What are the HOA fees in Walden Chase, and is there a CDD?
HOA fees in Walden Chase run roughly $900 to $935 per year, billed annually — a relatively modest amount compared to many St. Johns County communities. Notably, Walden Chase does not have a CDD (Community Development District) assessment, which can make a meaningful difference in monthly carrying costs for buyers comparing it to nearby master-planned communities.
What schools serve Walden Chase?
Walden Chase is zoned for Valley Ridge Academy for both elementary and middle grades, and Allen D. Nease High School for 9th through 12th grade. All three schools are part of the St. Johns County School District. School assignments are address-specific, so it's worth confirming your particular home's zoning with the district before closing.
What do homes in Walden Chase typically look like, and what's the price range?
Walden Chase is made up entirely of single-family homes built in the early 2000s, ranging from roughly 2,000 to about 3,100 square feet with 3 to 5 bedrooms. Prices generally fall from the $400s into the mid-$600s, with lakefront lots and pool homes tending toward the higher end of that range. Traditional architecture is the most common style, though contemporary and ranch floor plans appear as well.
Does Walden Chase have a CDD?
No — and two minutes from Nocatee's CDD-carrying villages, that's Walden Chase's quiet cost edge. Recent tax bills here run millage-only, and the HOA is about $906–$933 a year (roughly $77 a month) on current listings. The community itself is an established St. Johns County neighborhood (Ponte Vedra 32081 mailing) built in the early 2000s along the US-1/Valley Ridge corridor, just outside the Nocatee district boundary, with listings reporting the Valley Ridge Academy to Allen D. Nease school band — verify any address with the district. Same corridor as Nocatee, without the district line: that comparison is worth running before you assume the master plan wins on price.
How much is my home in Walden Chase worth?
More than a formula will tell you. What an estimate misses in Walden Chase is exactly what sets the price: the view, the finishes, the street, and how the most recent sales closed against their asking prices. Every Walden Chase listing and recorded sale posts to this page as it happens, so the picture stays current without you checking three portals. When you want the number for your own home, I prepare it against those sales, no obligation attached.
What does it cost to sell a home in Walden Chase?
The list is short; the net is what matters. In Walden Chase, 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, and the association's estoppel letter, the fee every HOA charges to certify your account at closing. I run the net sheet against Walden Chase's actual cost structure before you commit to a number, so the proceeds figure is real.
How long does it take to sell a home in Walden Chase?
Most Walden Chase sellers want a week count, and the honest answer is a range that depends on inventory the week you list. This page shows the current Walden Chase pace from live MLS activity, and the listings below are what a buyer compares you to. I set the timeline from those two things rather than from a regional statistic.
