Palm Valley is an unincorporated community in St. Johns County, right on the Atlantic Coast. It’s a sunny haven where residents expect to be able to enjoy the outdoors all year long. The area is home to about 22,000 people, and some residents consider it part of Ponte Vedra Beach. “We’re known for gorgeous beaches, amazing golf – pro and amateur – a terrific quality of life, great clubs and friendly people,” says Clare Berry, broker and owner of Berry & Co. Real Estate.
Palm Valley is a quiet area, far enough away from Interstate 95 that people don’t just stumble on it in passing. But its proximity to Jacksonville – less than 30 miles northwest – provides residents with easy access to museums, sports events and other big–city culture. Some residents also commute to Jacksonville for work. Jacksonville International is the nearest airport.

Open floor plans and windows to enjoy the sunshine
The median price in Palm Valley is about $730,000, much higher than the national median of nearly $400,000. Many properties have “beachy” vibes, with open floor plans and durable flooring to withstand sandy feet, Berry says. Most places feature lots of windows so people can enjoy the sunshine even while indoors. “There’s a lot of indoor-outdoor connectivity,” she says. Two-bedroom condos can sell for around $250,000, while luxury homes with private deep-water access along the Intercoastal Waterway or near the ocean can sell upwards of $3 million.

One of the area’s biggest events is The Players Championship, held annually in March. The tournament is part of the PGA Tour and is held at TPC Sawgrass. The Ponte Vedra Auto Show is held in the fall, with more than 200 collector cars on display. Several regular fundraising events are also held throughout the year, including a tennis tournament benefitting breast cancer research. “It’s a very charity-centered community,” Berry says.
