Thoughts on Picking the Right St. Johns County Community
Are you looking to move to Jacksonville and finding what you really need is in St. Johns County? Do you find yourself drowning in a sea of seemingly identical communities?
What Does it All Mean?
Wondering about things like CDDs, HOAs and wondering how the heck to just find the right place to live? Struggling between new construction and resale homes? Wondering which builder to choose? Before deciding where to live – you need to understand how all of these terms/acronyms come together. Further, it is important to understand the impact they will have on your future home.
Why St. Johns County?
Honestly the top reason most people look outside of Jacksonville and is for the top-rated St. Johns County schools. Yes, there are beautiful homes and other perks to living in the county (historic St. Augustine, Ponte Vedra, gorgeous beaches and more) but the schools continue to be the main driver.
St. Johns County Communities to Consider
Personally, I’ve been there and done that and I am happy to help you navigate through the seemingly endless list of local communities. If places like SilverLeaf, Shearwater, Nocatee, Beachwalk or RiverTown, are on your list – you might want to learn about others like Julington Creek Plantation, Murabella or Durbin Crossing.
Each community has its own perks and amenities that make it a great place to call home. That said – ultimately, choosing a community comes down to a puzzle that includes pieces like location, commute time, proximity to family, friends and hobbies, amenities, available homes and even zoned schools.
Please feel free to contact me and let’s get to work picking the right St. Johns county community for you/your family. Here’s why – there is so much more to a community than the amenities (although those are great). What works for one family may not be what’s best for your family. Your home search should be tailored to your individual needs. Please take advantage of my knowledge of these communities to help ease your home search efforts.
