LGI Homes in Jacksonville & Northeast Florida.

LGI Homes in Northeast Florida

LGI Homes is one of the nation's fastest-growing homebuilders and a publicly traded company, NASDAQ ticker LGIH, headquartered in The Woodlands, Texas, building across dozens of markets nationwide. In Northeast Florida it builds affordable, move-in-ready single-family homes in family-friendly communities, including Westport Landing in northwest Jacksonville and Lumber Creek in Yulee.

The LGI difference is a long list of designer upgrades included at no extra cost through its CompleteHome packages, a structural warranty, and value pricing aimed at first-time and move-up buyers. New homes at Westport Landing have started in the $340s.

The draw is a move-in-ready home with included upgrades at an attainable price. The trade-off is a defined set of plans with limited customization. This guide covers how LGI works in Northeast Florida and how to buy one with your interests protected.

Quick Facts

About LGI Homes

LGI Homes built its national reputation on a systematic approach to designing, building, and selling affordable new homes. The company builds single-family homes, townhomes, and active-adult communities, and it has expanded into Northeast Florida with communities aimed at buyers who want new construction without a luxury price.

Rather than building one custom home at a time, LGI develops communities of defined floor plans and sells move-in-ready inventory with a consistent package of included features. That model keeps prices down and the timeline short, since many homes are finished and ready when you tour them.

NE Florida Communities

LGI builds across the Jacksonville and St. Augustine area at attainable price points.

Lumber Creek (Yulee)

An amenity-rich Yulee community with a pool, trails, and a recreational field, mixing newer LGI construction and resale. See the Lumber Creek guide for prices, plans, and schools.

Westport Landing (Northwest Jacksonville)

A northwest Jacksonville community in the 32219 area with seven floor plans from about 1,604 to 2,938 square feet, three to five bedrooms, and access to the Villages of Westport Community Center with a pool, basketball courts, a playground, and a multi-use field.

Pricing & Value

LGI sits at the value end of the new-construction market, which is the point of the brand. Pricing depends on the community and the floor plan, and new homes at Westport Landing have started in the $340s. Because the upgrade package is included rather than added option by option, the advertised price is closer to the all-in price than at builders where upgrades stack on top.

For context, Momentum tracks the wider Jacksonville metro at a 97.98 percent sold-to-list ratio and 64 days on market for our agents, against a RealMLS market average closer to 96.73 percent and 72 days, year to date. On a new LGI home, the comparison that matters is against resale and other builders in the same community, which an agent will run for you.

Who Buys LGI

LGI draws first-time buyers, young families, and move-up buyers who want a brand-new, move-in-ready home with included upgrades at an attainable price. The fixed-package model appeals to buyers who value simplicity and a short timeline over choosing every finish.

Schools Nearby

School zoning depends on the community. LGI's Yulee community sits in Nassau County, ranked the number one district in Florida for 2024 to 2025, while its Jacksonville communities sit in Duval County. Confirm the assigned schools for a specific address with the district before you buy. See the Nassau County schools guide.

What Is Included

LGI's calling card is the included-upgrade package.

CompleteHome and CompleteHome Plus

These packages bundle upgrades at no extra cost, including Whirlpool kitchen appliances, granite countertops, wood cabinetry with crown molding, upgraded flooring, a programmable thermostat, a Wi-Fi-enabled garage door opener, and professionally landscaped front yards.

Move-in ready

Many LGI homes are finished and ready when you tour them, which shortens the path to closing compared with a build-to-order home.

CDD & HOA

Many newer Northeast Florida communities carry an HOA, and some carry a CDD that funds infrastructure and appears on the annual tax bill. Whether a specific LGI community has a CDD depends on the development. Confirm the current HOA dues and any CDD for a specific home in writing and model them into your monthly cost.

Insurance is the other cost to confirm. Roof age is a non-issue on a brand-new home, which helps premiums, but confirm the flood zone and get quotes early for any specific address.

Where LGI Builds

LGI tends to choose locations near job centers and major roads at attainable price points. Westport Landing sits northwest of downtown Jacksonville, while Lumber Creek sits in Yulee off the US-17 and A1A corridor in Nassau County. Drive times to your work, the beaches, and the airport vary by community, so test the specific commute from any community you are considering.

The No-Negotiation Model

LGI uses a systematic, no-haggle sales approach with set prices and a defined included-upgrade package, rather than the option-by-option negotiation common at custom builders. The benefit is a simple, transparent process. The thing to watch is that you still want an agent to confirm the price and the package are competitive against resale and other builders in the same area, since the LGI sales staff represent the builder.
