If you’ve spent any time house-hunting in Northeast Florida, you’ve probably heard the name “Nocatee” more than once. This master-planned community in St. Johns County has been making national “best places to live” lists for years — and for good reason.

Where Is Nocatee?

Nocatee sits just south of Jacksonville and west of Ponte Vedra Beach. It’s close enough to the beach for a morning walk on the sand but also an easy drive into Jacksonville for work, shopping, or Jaguars games. And because it’s in St. Johns County, you get the benefit of one of Florida’s most desirable county settings.

Why People Love Living Here

1. Master-Planned Living

Nocatee isn’t just a neighborhood — it’s a collection of unique villages, each with its own style and vibe. Whether you want a coastal-inspired cottage, a luxury estate, or a low-maintenance townhome, there’s likely a fit.

2. Amenities That Feel Like a Resort

We’re talking water parks, lazy rivers, multiple pools, fitness centers, dog parks, sports courts, and miles of nature trails. Nocatee even has its own kayak launch points along the Intracoastal.

3. Convenience at Your Door

The Nocatee Town Center has grocery stores, restaurants, medical offices, and local shops — meaning you can run most errands without leaving the community.

4. Events and Social Life

From farmers’ markets to food truck nights and outdoor concerts, there’s always something happening. It’s easy to meet neighbors and feel part of a community.

The Housing Market in Nocatee

As of 2025, homes in Nocatee range from the mid-$400,000s for smaller townhomes or villas to over $2 million for custom, waterfront properties. While the broader Jacksonville area leans toward a buyer’s market, Nocatee’s popularity means well-priced homes here still attract strong interest.
