Are you thinking about a move to St. Johns County FL? If so – let’s think about the options you want in both your home and community.
What do St. Johns County Communities Offer?
There is a mixture of what you will find in communities across the county. From amenities, to location, to the top ranked St. Johns County School District – there is something unique about each and every community. When considering the various locations – there needs to be some thought given to lifestyle and preferences. You might find a community with amazing homes/builders, amenities and be 30 minutes in the wrong direction for your commute.
Oftentimes – you’ll find the focus on the newer communities. Please don’t be so quick to pass by the more seasoned communities. From being complete (which means you won’t have to deal with the headaches of construction in/around your neighborhood and community) to somewhat larger lots and more mature trees/landscaping – there truly is something for everyone. For those wanting a community-free living experience – the options are there as well – it just takes a bit more work.
Some of the communities with homes still under construction include Bannon Lakes, Beachwalk, Beacon Lake, Nocatee, RiverTown, Shearwater, SilverLeaf. Some of the older communities which remain popular with individuals, couples and families moving to the area are Aberdeen, Durbin Crossing and Julington Creek Plantation.
Buying or Building a Home in Northeast Florida:
There are plenty of options available to consider when it comes to purchasing a home in St. Johns County, Florida. This may be in stark contrast to the area of the country you’re leaving. The decision of new build vs. spec home vs. resale home is one that you can take up with a local Realtor. Here you should weigh pros and cons and consider the timing surrounding your search and move. Your real estate agent will help you to navigate the waters of the different builders, communities and options.
Amenities will range from nothing, to communities with pools all the way up to world-class amenities. The developers of Splash consulted Disney Imagineers when designing the Nocatee Water Park. While amenities can be a great way to connect with neighbors – remember they do come at a cost. If you feel you won’t make the most use of them – perhaps look for a community that better aligns with your real estate goals.
