Real Estate Sales & Service in Nocatee, Ponte Vedra & Jacksonville, Florida
Kim Sandberg and Kim Tharp recently joined other area real estate agents to hear about current and future plans for eTown, the latest community from The PARC Group, developer of Nocatee. As eTown Certified Agents, Kim and Kim have direct access to the people and organizations building this popular new community.
Of note from the last meeting:

As you may have heard, Del Webb plans to open another 55+ community in Nocatee this summer, the aptly named Del Webb Nocatee. The opening of this new community coincides with the close out of the existing Del Webb Ponte Vedra community.
In other words, there are only a few opportunities left to purchase new construction/inventory homes in Del Webb Ponte Vedra. Here’s where inventory stands as of May 6, 2019:
[Read more…]Price adjustments in new home construction happen all the time. The market shifts–demand increases/decreases, or labor/material costs rise–and prices need to rise or fall accordingly.
So, now that some of the newer communities along CR-210 have been actively selling for a while, let’s take a look at what prices and inventory are doing.
Shearwater has been selling homes since mid-2016, so it’s got a little bit of a leg up on the two other communities we’re reviewing. It is still a growing community, however, with the recent addition of Toll Brothers to the list of builders, and a new townhome product from David Weekley. [Read more…]
It’s the type of setting you’d expect to find in more urban environments. Single-family homes and townhomes, apartments, shopping, dining and businesses, all clustered together in a convenient location. And, as Jacksonville, and the Southside, continues to grow, it may be something we’ll see more of in the future. But for now, Weekley’s “Central Living” concept is among the first of its kind in the Jacksonville area.
Chances are Southside Quarter is close to many of the places you’re going to already. Shopping and dining at St. Johns Town Center. Costco. Tinseltown. IKEA. Publix and Winn-Dixie on Baymeadows. And if you already work in the area (McKesson, Availity, Deutsche Bank and, coming this spring, Web.com), so much the better.

Much has already been written about the booming residential developments happening in St. Johns County, Florida. But sleepy Nassau County, north of Duval, is on track to potentially double in size by 2045. And southern Duval County is seeing increased growth where it abuts St. Johns County.
Located in Yulee, in Nassau County, Wildlight is building on the area’s rural roots, with a distinctly modern twist. The developers are calling it “Florida Lowcountry Living”, and it combines an “Old Florida” feel with modern amenities like gigabit ethernet and fiber optic cable. There will also be miles of trails, bike lanes and parks, as well as 350 acres of preserved open space.
Builders include D.S. Ware, Dream Finders and Dostie Homes.
From the developer behind Nocatee, The PARC Group, comes eTown, a development just east of 9B/I-295 and south of Baymeadows Rd. Designed with a focus on “convenience, technology and sustainability,” eTown is scheduled to open in the summer of 2019. Situated in the heart of the booming Southside area, near the St. Johns Town Center, Flagler Center and JTB, eTown is close to the shops, services, businesses and entertainment venues residents want.
Builders include ICI Homes, David Weekley and Toll Brothers.
Both communities tout the convenience of proximity to Jacksonville, the beach, the airport, shopping, entertainment, etc. eTown is perhaps more centrally located, but Wildlight’s location a bit farther off the beaten path will be an attraction for some home buyers.
Both communities have a focus on technology. As mentioned earlier, Wildlight promises gigabit internet speeds for residents. And eTown will embrace “smart living”, perhaps an indication that some smart home technologies may be baked in, or at least offered, with the homes in their Marconi and Edison neighborhoods.
