Perry has 8 years in the industry. “One of the main drivers has been for our A+ schools. St. Johns County has one of the best public school systems in the country.” In 2024, a kindergarten through eighth-grade school opened within Beacon Lake, and 2 miles away is the highly rated Beachside High School.

Houses sit on manicured lots with front and backyards and are organized along winding roadways bordered by sidewalks. Roadways end in cul-de-sacs and some surround lakes, while others are near community parks and amenities. The development is encircled by 358 acres of preserved land, giving the community a tranquil atmosphere. Many residents who bought townhouses or smaller single-family homes have moved to larger homes within the development. Townhouses range from $355,000 to $420,000. Single-family homes with four bedrooms or fewer range from $475,000 to $560,000. Larger homes with in-ground pools or boat launches range from $625,000 to over $1.2 million.

This is typically a 30-year bond that the county & developer put in place,” says Perry. “A CDD neighborhood is typically an area with fun summer activities for the kids. I lived in a CDD neighborhood, and I feel that an HOA and CDD help keep your property values up.” The CAP Index Crime Score is a 2 out of 10 for Beacon Lake. The national average is 4.
