Every active adult community in North Florida has something to offer prospective home buyers, but some include larger homes, more amenities, and a better location than others. Not surprisingly, 55+ homes and condos in these communities can cost a pretty penny. Although as many existing home owners will tell you, the premium you'll have to pay to call one of North Florida's most expensive active adult communities home is well worth it in every single way.
Del Webb Nocatee
The active adult community known as Del Webb Nocatee is divided into three main categories: Villas, Classics, and Estates. Although they're all exceptionally beautiful, each tier has something different to offer active adults. Go with a Villa if you don't mind sharing outdoor space, as these properties are directly adjoined to one another. Classics are a bit more private and roomy, offering larger floor plans in tandem with enhanced interior features. And finally, if you're willing to go all out, Estate homes come with even more square footage, along with luxurious upgrades throughout each individual home. As for the community itself, you'll find it hones a litany of amenities available to all residents, including a clubhouse, bocce ball courts, outdoor fire pit, resort-style pool, pickleball and tennis courts, a game room, and, most extravagantly of all, a grand ballroom.
Del Webb eTown
Another incredibly desirable 55-plus community in Jacksonville is Del Webb eTown, which you'll find has plenty of perks that make it worth the high price tag. Let's start with the exclusive amenities residents have access to here, a list that includes a huge palm tree lined pool, a movement studio and clubhouse, multiple sports courts, and a lush community garden, among other things. Then there's the broad selection of properties to choose from, which like Nocatee, is divided into three categories that ascend in price from one another. Despite being the smallest option, Contour comes with two bedrooms and two bathrooms worth of space to enjoy, which for many active adults is more than enough space. But if you're looking for more living area, the most expensive layout, Stellar Grand, lives up to its name in more ways than one. We're talking over 3,300 total square feet and comprised of four bedrooms, four bathrooms, and even a three car garage. Prices for these homes start at about $650,000, although there is certainly room to spend more if you're interested in getting premium upgrades.
