St. Johns County is nestled between the Atlantic Ocean and St. Johns River in Northeast Florida, with numerous historical and natural landmarks to explore. Established in 1821, it has a growing population of over 306,000 people — making it one of the fastest growing counties in Florida and the U.S. With a median household income of $101,237, and no state personal income tax — and the lowest real estate taxes in Northeast Florida — it’s an ideal place to live. Plus, it’s the #1 rated school district in the state of Florida. Here are some of our favorite neighborhoods and communities to call home.

 

World Golf Village (WGV) was built in the 1990s as a community for golfers, families and retirees alike. Its location to both Jacksonville and St. Augustine, especially the historic district, make it unique, offering a mixture of rural communities set in nature preserves and uplands and more suburban-style homes. There are two legendary golf courses, Slammer & Squire and King & Bear, and shopping centers with everything from big box stores to local restaurants and boutiques.
