Family-centric community outside of Jacksonville

Master-planned communities reach a new height with Nocatee, Florida. Started more than 20 years ago, the community is now home to over 20,000 residents living in unique subdivisions centered around a thriving town center. Nocatee sits just 10 miles from the beach and about 20 miles from St. Augustine and Jacksonville, so access to local attractions and amenities is convenient. Above its contemporary homes and accessible location, the family-friendly lifestyle is the biggest draw, says 30-year Realtor Robert Rose with Watson Realty Corporation. “The whole community is really focused on the family. The school system is excellent. There are so many kid-friendly amenities, like a splash park and water park, and for adults, we have farmers markets, live music and happy hours. All the events are family-oriented too—it’s a very welcoming, community-centric place,” says Rose.

Uniquely designed subdivisions in Nocatee

After breaking ground in 2005, the Nocatee community quickly sprouted up in coastal-style contemporary subdivisions, winding around the area’s tall pine flats and grassy marshes. The subdivisions range between million-dollar estates, traditional two-story homes and compact bungalows. “Each neighborhood has its own identity,” says Rose. “They have unique designs and have their own pool and play areas. So, if you don’t want to go to the big pool, you can go to one at home.” The median sale price in Nocatee is $760,000, about $300,000 higher than the national number.

Gathering, water parks and trails in the heart of Nocatee

The 75-acre Community Park is the heart of Nocatee life. The park has nature trails shaded with towering palms and pine trees that wind throughout wooded areas and meet up with different subdivisions. The green space also features sports courts and a dog park. It connects to Nocatee Station Field, which hosts local farmers, food vendors and artisans at the Nocatee Farmers Market. Other outdoor amenities, including Nocatee Spray Park and the Nocatee Splash Water Park, are especially popular with families.
In addition to the community offerings, Nocatee has other mini parks within subdivisions and is close to local nature preserves. “There’s a fishing pond stocked yearly, and sometimes folks run on the trail around it," says Rose. "It’s also popular to kayak on the Intracoastal Waterway.” Nearby Guana River Preserve’s North Beach and Mickler Beach are low-key options for finding shells or having picnics, while Jacksonville Beach offers nightlife and a popular boardwalk.
