Where to Buy - Nocatee
On breathtaking coastal acreage in prestigious Ponte Vedra, a new master-planned community is taking shape. It’s called Nocatee, where distinctive residential neighborhoods are within walking distance of schools, parks, recreational facilities and a vibrant Town Center.
Each village-like residential enclave has its own personality, offering single-family homes, luxury estate homes, condominiums or townhomes by some of Florida’s finest builders.
How popular is Nocatee? In 2012 it ranked as the 10th best-selling community the U.S., with more than 500 new families joining those who already call this dynamic, Ponte Vedra-area master-planned community home.
Single-family-home neighborhoods within Nocatee include Brookwood, priced from the mid-$100s; Greenleaf Village, priced from the $180s; Enclave at Town Center, priced from the $180s; Kelly Pointe, priced from the low $200s; Austin Park, priced from the mid-$200s; Willowcove, priced from the $170s; Lakeside at Town Center, priced from the mid-$200s; Coastal Oaks, priced from the low $300s; and Greenleaf Preserve, priced from the $400s.
Del Webb Ponte Vedra, a 55-plus neighborhood, offers single-family homes and townhomes priced from the $170s, while Tidewater offers condominiums priced from the high $130s.
Nocatee is justifiably proud of its Town Center, which is accessible from the neighborhood villages via walking, biking
or driving electric carts. The complex will include an eclectic assortment of stores and charming restaurants and is currently home to the region’s largest Publix Supermarket.
And getting there from your home couldn’t be easier. Nocatee is Northeast Florida’s first all-access electric vehicle community. Residents can take electric vehicles — such as golf carts and other electrically powered, low-speed vehicles — on pathways, trails and country roads.
Children attend top-rated St. Johns County schools. However, most of Nocatee’s villages are planned to have an elementary school within walking or biking distance. Developers have reserved land for six elementary schools, two middle schools and one high school as the community continues to grow. Ponte Vedra High School is on site, while a new K-8 school is scheduled to open in 2014.
Nocatee’s amenities are second to none. The Splash Water Park is a resort-style water playground boasting a high-speed Rip Tide Slide as well as a shallow-access pool, an interactive playground for kids and a 330-foot zipline.
The 75-acre Community Park features nature and jogging trails as well as soccer fields and dog parks. Plus, there’s a 5,000 square-foot fitness center furnished with a full complement of state-of-the-art cardio and strength-training equipment.
The Nocatee Greenway consists of more than 5,000 acres of connecting parks, protected wildlife corridors and wetlands preserves. The trails connect Del Webb, Coastal Oaks, Tidewater and Willowcove to the Splash Water Park, the Community Park and the Town Center.
Nocatee’s master developer, The PARC Group, was named Developer of the Year for the past five years by the Sales and Marketing Council of the Northeast Florida Builders Association (NEFBA).
The company’s adherence to a carefully crafted master plan has established Nocatee as a national model for smart, sustainable development.
