One of the nation’s best-selling master-planned communities, in Ponte Vedra between Jacksonville and St. Augustine.
Why People Love Living in Nocatee
Nocatee was designed around a simple idea: everything a family needs, close to home. Miles of greenway trails link neighborhoods to parks, pools and the Town Center. The beaches are just minutes away, and Jacksonville and historic St. Augustine are an easy drive. Add a full calendar of farmers markets, food trucks and outdoor movies, and it’s easy to see why so many people choose to put down roots here.
About the Community
Nocatee was created by The PARC Group and approved in 2001, with groundbreaking in 2005. It covers more than 13,000 acres, mostly in northern St. Johns County, and has grown into roughly fifty neighborhoods, including some designed for active adults. The 2020 census counted more than 22,000 residents.

Nocatee is served by the highly regarded St. Johns County School District. Schools serving the community include Palm Valley Academy, Pine Island Academy and Valley Ridge Academy, along with Allen D. Nease High School. School assignments can change as the district grows, so we always recommend confirming zoning for a specific address with the district.
