What to Know About Cypress Trails at Nocatee

  • Three Builders Created a Wide Range of Homes

    AV Homes, Mattamy Homes and Lennar Homes all built in Cypress Trails.

    That gives the neighborhood more variety in floor plans, elevations and home sizes than buyers may expect when driving through an established Nocatee neighborhood from a relatively short building period.

    Some homes offer a more manageable footprint, while others include substantially more bedrooms, flexible living space and outdoor living.

  • Water and Preserve Settings Are a Big Part of the Neighborhood

    Water and preserved land were part of the original design of Cypress Trails, and many homes take advantage of those settings.

    A home backing to water can feel very different from one overlooking preserve, while interior homesites create another type of setting altogether.

    When we compare Cypress Trails homes, the view and privacy behind the property are part of the conversation, not simply the square footage.

  • Cypress Park Is a Major Convenience

    Cypress Park sits at the front of Cypress Trails and gives this part of Nocatee an unusually complete amenity area close to home.

    The park includes a shallow-entry pool, clubhouse and covered gathering spaces, playground, sports field, event lawn, trails and Cypress Tails Dog Park.

    Cypress Park is part of Nocatee’s resident amenity network rather than a private Cypress Trails-only facility, but having all of that immediately nearby is still a meaningful advantage for residents of the neighborhood.

  • Cypress Tails Dog Park Is Right at the Park

    Cypress Tails is the fenced dog park within Cypress Park, making it especially convenient for residents of Cypress Trails.

    Its location alongside the pool, playground and trails makes it easy to incorporate into a walk through the neighborhood.

  • One- and Two-Story Homes

    Cypress Trails includes both one- and two-story homes, and the three builders offered a broad selection of floor plans.

    That gives buyers options depending on whether they prefer most of their living space on one level or want upstairs bedrooms, lofts or additional separation.

    The floor plan and builder can make homes with similar square footage live very differently.

  • An Established Neighborhood With Mature Landscaping

    Cypress Trails was built over a relatively concentrated period, so the neighborhood now has the benefit of established landscaping without a wide spread of construction ages.

    Trees, ponds, preserve edges and mature yards give it a more settled feel than a neighborhood that is still actively building.

  • Connected to Nocatee’s Broader Trail and Amenity Network

    Cypress Trails also connects into Nocatee’s greenway trail system, giving residents another way to move between neighborhoods and community destinations.

    Residents have access to Nocatee’s broader parks, pools, fitness facilities, trails and recreation areas in addition to Cypress Park.

Explore Homes for Sale in Cypress Trails at Nocatee

Cypress Trails is an established resale neighborhood, so available inventory changes throughout the year.

When a home comes on the market, we recommend comparing more than square footage and the most recent sale. Builder, floor plan, one- versus two-story layout, garage configuration, water or preserve orientation, private pool, outdoor living, updates and overall condition can all materially affect how buyers compare one Cypress Trails home with another.

Because three builders contributed to the neighborhood, the home that sold closest by is not always the best comparison.

Thinking About Selling in Cypress Trails?

Pricing a Cypress Trails Home Starts With the Right Comparison

With three builders, a broad range of floor plans and a mix of water, preserve and interior homesites, the most recent Cypress Trails sale is not automatically the best comparison for your property.

Square footage matters, but so do builder, floor plan, one- versus two-story layout, garage configuration, water or preserve orientation, private pool, outdoor living, updates and overall condition.

The homesite can matter especially here. A preserve-backed home may appeal differently from one overlooking water, even when the homes themselves are similar in size and condition.

We also look beyond Cypress Trails when necessary. A buyer considering a home here may also be comparing Timberland Ridge, The Palms, Brookwood or other single-family homes on the Duval County side of Nocatee.

That is why we evaluate a Cypress Trails home as an individual property, not simply as another sale in the neighborhood.

They were kind, professional, and extremely thorough in every way. Our home sold in just 3 days, and we would recommend them to family and friends in a heartbeat.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

We have worked with Driftwood Realty twice in the last 6 years to sell our homes in Nocatee (Ponte Vedra, Florida). Kristin and Quinton’s local market knowledge, professional approach, attention to detail, and property marketing expertise are unmatched in the St. Johns area. It was their generous and compassionate spirit that drew us to them over seven years ago, before we ever considered selling our home. We met Kristin and Quinton when they were helping a young family pack and load for an unexpected move. It became evident very quickly that this family was more than their client, and that Kristin and Quinton truly care about their relationship with the people they represent. They are on top of every step throughout the process, and keep their clients informed about next steps, realistically managing expectations for all parties. They have negotiated on our behalf through two very different real estate markets, most recently in the midst of an unexpected sharp decline in home prices. We highly recommend Driftwood Realty to home buyers or sellers looking for hardworking, transparent and expert realtors to guide them through the process in a trusting relationship that for us has become a lifelong friendship.
