Nocatee > Duval County > Villas at Nocatee
Ponte Vedra, Florida | Duval County
Villas at Nocatee is a small gated community on the Duval County side of Nocatee, offering a very different option from a traditional townhome or single-family neighborhood.
Built by Standard Pacific Homes, the community includes just 90 attached villas ranging from approximately 2,004 to 3,439 square feet. These are substantial homes, with attached garages, generous interior living space and a mix of water and preserve settings throughout the neighborhood.
What really sets Villas apart is the combination of space and lower-maintenance living. Exterior responsibilities are handled through the association, the community has its own private pool and gathering areas, and residents still have access to Nocatee’s broader amenity network.

Gated and Just 90 Homes
Villas at Nocatee is a small gated neighborhood with just 90 homes.
That gives it a much more contained feel than many of Nocatee’s larger communities. Wingstone Drive and Crestway Lane make up the neighborhood, with homes arranged around water, preserve and landscaped common areas.
For buyers who want something smaller and more private without leaving Nocatee, Villas fills a very specific niche.
These Are Not Small Townhomes
The word “villa” matters here.
Homes range from approximately 2,004 to 3,439 square feet, so even the smaller floor plans offer substantial living space. The larger homes can rival the size of detached single-family homes elsewhere in Nocatee.
That makes Villas particularly interesting for buyers who want to reduce exterior maintenance without necessarily downsizing their living space.
Attached Homes That Live More Like Single-Family Homes
Although these are attached homes, they do not have the feel of a compact traditional townhome community.
Floor plans include attached garages, substantial primary suites, generous living areas and private screened or covered outdoor spaces. Some of the larger plans also include additional bedrooms, loft or guest space.
For buyers coming from a detached home, that difference can make Villas an easier transition than a smaller attached product.
Water and Preserve Settings Throughout the Neighborhood
One of the strongest features of Villas is the setting behind the homes.
Homes are oriented toward either water or wooded preserve rather than rows of homes directly behind one another. That gives the rear outdoor spaces a more private feel and makes the individual view an important part of the comparison between properties.
A water-view villa may feel very different from one surrounded by preserve, even when the floor plan is the same.
Low-Maintenance Living Is a Big Part of the Appeal
Villas was designed around a lower-maintenance style of ownership.
The association handles significant exterior and landscape responsibilities, which gives owners more freedom from the routine upkeep that comes with a traditional detached home. The HOA fees cover lawn care, irrigation, exterior painting and roof replacement.
That combination of substantial square footage and reduced exterior maintenance is one of the biggest reasons Villas stands apart from other attached-home options in Nocatee.
Its Own Private Pool and Gathering Spaces
Villas has its own neighborhood pool and gathering areas behind the gates.
That gives residents an amenity option right inside the community while still maintaining access to Nocatee’s larger resident amenity network.
For some buyers, having a pool close to home without maintaining one in the backyard is a major part of the appeal.

Take a closer look at Villas at Nocatee, where spacious attached homes, gated access, water and preserve settings, a private neighborhood pool and lower-maintenance living create one of the more distinctive attached-home options in Nocatee.

Villas at Nocatee is a small established resale community, so available inventory can be limited.
When a property comes on the market, we recommend comparing more than square footage and the most recent sale. Floor plan, water versus preserve orientation, end versus interior position, outdoor living, upgrades, condition and level of finish can all materially affect how buyers compare one villa with another.
Because the neighborhood ranges from roughly 2,000 square feet to well over 3,000 square feet, the most relevant comparison is not always the villa that sold closest by.

Pricing a Villa Requires the Right Comparison
With only 90 homes and a fairly wide range of floor plans, the most recent Villas sale is not automatically the best comparison for your property.
Square footage matters, but so do floor plan, water versus preserve view, end or interior position, outdoor living, updates, condition and overall level of finish.
The larger floor plans also compete differently than the smaller villas. A buyer considering one of the biggest homes in the neighborhood may be comparing it with detached single-family homes or larger attached products elsewhere in Nocatee, while a buyer looking at a smaller villa may be considering Oakwood, The Palms, Tidewater or other low-maintenance options.
That is why we evaluate a Villas property based on the individual home and the alternatives a buyer is actually considering, not simply the last sale in the neighborhood.

We've proudly called Nocatee home for more than 15 years, serving our community through local leadership, neighborhood involvement, and helping hundreds of families buy and sell throughout Northeast Florida.
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.
