If you’ve been exploring St. Johns County, you’ve probably heard about Palencia. This thoughtfully designed community blends upscale living with small-town charm — and it’s one of those rare places where the curb appeal matches the lifestyle.

Prime Location

Palencia sits just north of historic St. Augustine and south of Jacksonville, giving you easy access to I-95, the beaches, and both city amenities and coastal escapes. That means you can work in Jacksonville, spend your weekends in St. Augustine, and be home in time for dinner.

A Master-Planned Community That Actually Feels Personal

Palencia isn’t just rows of houses. It’s built around tree-lined streets, walking paths, and natural preserves. You’ll find a mix of neighborhoods here — from low-maintenance condos to custom estate homes — each with its own style while still fitting the overall Palencia feel.

Amenities That Go Beyond the Basics

• The Palencia Club — An Arthur Hills–designed championship golf course, with stunning marsh and Intracoastal views.

• Pools & Parks — Multiple swimming pools, kids’ play areas, dog parks, and sports courts.

• Fitness & Wellness — A state-of-the-art fitness center, group classes, and miles of nature trails for running, biking, or walking.

• Town Center — Shops, restaurants, and services right inside the community, so errands can be a quick bike ride away.

Scenic Beauty Everywhere You Look
