The County Line Is the First Thing to Understand

The Palms is one community, but the county line runs directly through it.

The townhomes are on the St. Johns County side, while the single-family homes are in Duval County. Both sides were built by Dream Finders Homes, but they are very different housing products and fall under different school districts and taxing jurisdictions.

That is why we separate them when helping buyers search The Palms. If you are looking specifically for a St. Johns County townhome, this is the side of the community you want to be looking at.

A Townhome Community of 109 Homes

There are 109 townhomes on the St. Johns County side of The Palms.

It is large enough that buyers can find differences in location, views and floor plans, but small enough that the neighborhood itself is easy to understand once you drive through it.

Attached Garages Make These Feel More Like Home

One feature we like about The Palms is that the townhomes have attached garages.

That may sound like a small detail, but it makes a meaningful difference in everyday living. You have covered parking, additional storage and direct access into the home rather than the feel of a more compact attached-home product.

Most of the homes are two stories, which also creates separation between the main living areas and bedrooms.

There Is More Variety Than the Streetscape Suggests

From the outside, The Palms has a fairly cohesive look. Once you start comparing individual properties, though, there can be meaningful differences.

The homes range from approximately 1,263 to 2,070 square feet, so one townhome may work well for someone looking for a relatively simple footprint while another offers considerably more bedroom, office or guest space.

Location within the neighborhood matters too, especially when comparing end units, interior units and the setting behind the home.

Water or Preserve Views Throughout the Townhome Section

One of the biggest advantages of The Palms Townhomes is the setting behind the homes.

Every townhome backs to either water or preserve, so buyers are not looking directly into another row of homes from the rear of the property.

That gives the community a more open feel than many attached-home neighborhoods and makes the rear orientation of the home especially important. Some buyers may prefer a water view, while others may value the privacy and wooded backdrop of preserve.

Even with similar floor plans, the view behind the home can make one property feel very different from another.

Lower-Maintenance Living Without Leaving Nocatee

The Palms works well for buyers who want to simplify some of the exterior responsibilities that come with a detached home but still want to remain in Nocatee.

You still have access to Nocatee's larger resident amenity network, parks, trails, pools and recreation facilities, while the home itself can be easier to maintain than a larger single-family property.

For some buyers that is a transition from a larger home. For others, it is simply the type of ownership they prefer.

A Neighborhood Park Shared by The Palms

The Palms includes a neighborhood park that serves the broader community, including both the townhome and single-family sections.

It gives residents a convenient place close to home for outdoor time without needing to head to one of Nocatee’s larger amenity areas.
