Toll Brothers in Northeast Florida
Toll Brothers is the nation’s leading builder of luxury homes, and it is one of the most active luxury builders in Northeast Florida. Founded in 1967 and a Fortune 500 company (NYSE: TOL), Toll Brothers was named the number one Most Admired Homebuilder on Fortune’s 2026 list of the World’s Most Admired Companies. In the Jacksonville metro it builds gated communities, several with no CDD fees, a rare waterfront enclave, and a brand-new 55+ active-adult community.
As of 2026, Toll Brothers builds across St. Johns and Duval counties here: the gated riverfront Shores at RiverTown, the standalone no-CDD Mill Creek Forest, the gated six-collection Newbrook at SilverLeaf, and two new communities inside the EverRange master plan between Nocatee and eTown, Mariposa at EverRange and the 55+ Regency at EverRange. It also builds at Bartram Ranch in St. Johns. Pricing runs from roughly the mid-$400,000s into the $1.2 million range.
This guide covers every Toll Brothers community in Northeast Florida, the pricing, the no-CDD communities, the Design Studio, the schools their communities feed, and the honest trade-offs of buying a Toll Brothers home, including the single most important thing: you bring your own agent before you ever visit a Toll sales center.

About Toll Brothers
Toll Brothers has built luxury homes for nearly six decades, operating in more than 60 markets across 23 states, and it is consistently recognized for quality and customer experience, most recently as Fortune’s number one Most Admired Homebuilder for 2026, the ninth year it has topped that list. The company is unusual among national builders in how much it controls in-house: it runs its own architecture, engineering, mortgage, title, land development, smart-home technology, landscape, and building-components operations, which is part of how it delivers a consistent luxury product.
In Northeast Florida, Toll Brothers operates under Group President Greg Netro and builds through a regional team with its own Northeast Florida Regional Design Studio. The local strategy leans into gated communities and a luxury, highly personalized product, distinct from the high-volume value builders. Where many of the metro’s master plans carry CDD assessments, two of Toll’s local communities (Mill Creek Forest and Newbrook at SilverLeaf) carry no CDD, which is a meaningful and unusual cost advantage at this price tier.
Toll Brothers Communities in Northeast Florida
Here is every Toll Brothers community currently building in the Jacksonville metro, with what makes each one distinct. We have written full buyer guides on the standalone communities, linked below.
Shores at RiverTown (St. Johns)
A gated riverfront enclave inside the RiverTown master plan, Shores at RiverTown offers modern single-family homes and waterfront townhomes, with rare private boat slips on select homesites and a golf-cart boardwalk to RiverTown’s RiverHouse and RiverClub amenities. The Atlantic Collection has started around $559,000, with the Riverview Collection higher. It is the only Toll community in the metro with direct St. Johns River access. RiverTown is a CDD community. See our full Shores at RiverTown guide.
Mill Creek Forest (St. Johns, no CDD)
A standalone gated Toll Brothers community in northwest St. Johns County near the 9B extension, Mill Creek Forest is built around its rarest feature: no CDD fees. Two collections, Meadows (from the high $440,000s) and Magnolia (3-car, from the high $530,000s), sit on private wooded homesites with lakeside and preserve views, with brand-new resort amenities. See our full Mill Creek Forest guide.
Newbrook at SilverLeaf (St. Augustine, no CDD)
A gated Toll Brothers community of about 550 homes inside the SilverLeaf master plan, Newbrook spans six collections (roughly 41 floor plans) from Towns Collection townhomes through the luxury Spruce Collection, priced from the mid-$400,000s past $1.1 million. Residents get private Newbrook amenities plus SilverLeaf’s water park and pools, and like all of SilverLeaf it carries no CDD. See our full Newbrook at SilverLeaf guide.
Mariposa at EverRange (Duval)
Toll’s newer single-family community inside the EverRange master plan in Duval County, between Nocatee and eTown, Mariposa at EverRange opened for sales in early 2026. It offers four single-family designs, one- and two-story, from about 2,105 to 2,899+ square feet on 50-foot homesites with preserve and water views, priced from the mid-$500,000s, with planned resort amenities. See our full EverRange guide, which covers Mariposa and the wider master plan.
Regency at EverRange (Duval, 55+)
Toll’s newest 55+ active-adult community in North Florida, Regency at EverRange opened in early 2026 as a gated community of single-story homes inside EverRange. Two collections, Acadia (about 1,980 to 2,247+ square feet, from the mid-$500,000s) and Willow (about 2,543 to 2,896+ square feet, 3-car garages), come with private Regency amenities plus EverRange’s master amenities. It is the metro’s newest Toll option for active adults. See our full EverRange guide.
Bartram Ranch and earlier communities
Toll Brothers also builds at Bartram Ranch in St. Johns County, with single-family homes that have started around $660,000 and ranged past $1.2 million. In recent years Toll built the gated Marsh Harbor enclave and homes in the Seabrook neighborhoods at Nocatee, which are now largely sold out. Toll’s active-selling lineup is concentrated in the five communities above.
Toll Brothers Pricing & Value in Northeast Florida
Toll Brothers is the metro’s luxury new-construction tier, and its pricing reflects that, though the range is wider than buyers expect because of the townhome and 55+ collections.
| Community | Approx. starting price (2026) | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Newbrook (Towns Collection) | ~mid $400Ks | Townhomes; no CDD |
| Mill Creek Forest (Meadows) | ~high $440Ks | No CDD; gated single-family |
| Mill Creek Forest (Magnolia) | ~high $530Ks | 3-car; no CDD |
| Mariposa at EverRange | ~mid $500Ks | Duval; preserve/water lots |
| Regency at EverRange (55+) | ~mid $500Ks | Active-adult, single-story |
| Shores at RiverTown | ~$559K | Waterfront enclave; boat slips; CDD |
| Bartram Ranch | ~$660K | St. Johns single-family |
| Luxury / optioned (Spruce, larger plans) | to $1.2M+ | Across communities |
Two value levers matter most with Toll. First, the no-CDD communities (Mill Creek Forest and Newbrook) carry a lighter all-in monthly than comparable St. Johns CDD communities, often by a few thousand dollars a year on the tax bill. Second, the Design Studio: a Toll base price is a starting point, and personalization can move it substantially, which is the appeal and the trap. Lot premiums on water, preserve, and larger homesites add more, and Toll runs incentives that change often.
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 Toll purchase the lot, the collection, the upgrades, and the incentives drive your real cost far more than resale comps, which is where representation pays off.
Who Buys a Toll Brothers Home
Toll Brothers in Northeast Florida draws move-up and luxury buyers who want a higher-end build and a gated address, relocating professionals and executives moving into St. Johns County, active adults choosing the 55+ Regency at EverRange, waterfront buyers drawn to Shores at RiverTown and its boat slips, and value-minded luxury buyers who specifically want the no-CDD communities. The common thread is a buyer who prioritizes build quality, personalization, and a gated setting over the lowest possible price.
Many are relocating within the metro to move up into a luxury new build, or moving from out of state drawn by St. Johns County’s top schools, the gated communities, and Florida’s tax picture. Because Toll spans townhomes, single-family, waterfront, and 55+ here, its buyer base is broad while still skewing toward the higher end of the new-construction market.
Schools Near Toll Brothers Communities
Most of Toll’s Northeast Florida communities sit in the top-rated St. Johns County School District, consistently ranked the number one district in Florida, which is a major draw for family buyers.
Shores at RiverTown has generally been zoned to Hickory Creek Elementary, Switzerland Point Middle, and Bartram Trail High (with RiverTown’s K-8 nearby). Newbrook at SilverLeaf sits in the SilverLeaf area, generally Wards Creek Elementary, Pacetti Bay Middle, and Tocoi Creek High. Mill Creek Forest is in northwest St. Johns near the Bartram and Durbin corridors. Mariposa and Regency at EverRange are in Duval County, served by the Duval district. Because St. Johns is growing quickly and boundaries shift as new schools open, confirm the exact current zoned schools for any specific Toll address directly with the relevant county school district before relying on any assignment.
What Makes a Toll Brothers Home
Toll Brothers builds to a luxury standard that shows up in architecture, finishes, and structural quality. Local communities offer Craftsman, Coastal, Modern Farmhouse, and Transitional exteriors, open-concept plans with first- and second-floor primary options, three-car-garage options on larger collections, and spa-inspired primary baths in the upper tiers. Smart-home technology and energy-efficient construction are standard, and Toll runs its own building-components and architecture operations to hold quality consistent.
The defining feature is choice. Toll organizes each community into collections (for example, Newbrook’s six collections from townhomes to the luxury Spruce, or Mill Creek Forest’s Meadows and Magnolia), so buyers pick a size and price tier, then personalize the home at the Design Studio. That combination of a curated set of plans plus deep personalization is what separates a Toll home from a high-volume builder’s fixed offerings.
CDD & HOA in Toll Communities
Fees are where Toll’s local communities differ most, and getting this right changes your real monthly cost.
No CDD: Mill Creek Forest and Newbrook at SilverLeaf carry no Community Development District assessment, which is rare for gated, amenity-rich St. Johns communities and saves a recurring few thousand dollars a year on the tax bill versus a comparable CDD community.
CDD applies: Shores at RiverTown sits inside RiverTown, a CDD community, so a CDD assessment applies there. EverRange (Mariposa and Regency) should be confirmed with the builder, as master-plan CDD status varies.
HOA everywhere: every Toll community here carries HOA dues that fund the gate, the amenities, and common areas, and gated or 55+ sections (and communities inside a master plan like Newbrook) can carry both a community association and a master association. Confirm the full HOA picture per home.
Model the all-in monthly: between mortgage, any CDD, HOA dues, and the way new-build property taxes reset upward after year one, the all-in monthly is what matters, and the no-CDD communities look notably lighter. A good agent will build the real number with you.
Where Toll Builds in Northeast Florida
Toll’s local communities cluster in two areas. In St. Johns County, Shores sits along the St. Johns River inside RiverTown, Newbrook inside SilverLeaf in the St. Augustine 32092 area, Mill Creek Forest in northwest St. Johns near the 9B extension and the Bartram and Durbin corridors, and Bartram Ranch in the same northern St. Johns growth path. These put buyers in the top St. Johns schools with access to I-95, the Town Center, and the beaches.
In Duval County, Mariposa and Regency at EverRange sit inside the EverRange master plan between Nocatee and eTown, a golf-cart-friendly location with planned future connectivity to eTown’s town center, The Exchange, and proximity to the Southside, beaches, and major commuter routes. For buyers weighing a St. Johns address against a Duval one closer to the Southside job centers, Toll offers both.
The Toll Brothers Design Studio
Personalization is central to the Toll Brothers experience, and it runs through the Toll Brothers Northeast Florida Regional Design Studio. Rather than a fixed spec home, buyers work with professional design consultants to select structural options, finishes, cabinetry, flooring, fixtures, and smart-home features, turning a base plan into a personalized home.
The Design Studio is the best and the most expensive part of buying a Toll home. It is where the base price climbs, sometimes well beyond the advertised starting number, so the discipline is knowing which choices add lasting value and resale appeal (kitchens, primary baths, structural changes you cannot easily redo later) versus which are easy to add yourself or skip. This is one of the clearest places a buyer’s agent who knows Toll earns their keep, helping you spend where it counts and hold the line elsewhere.

Toll Brothers vs Other Northeast Florida Builders
Toll sits at the luxury and personalization end of the metro’s new-construction market. Here is the honest shorthand against the other major builders here.
| Builder | How it compares to Toll Brothers |
|---|---|
| Dream Finders | Large local-rooted builder with strong value and broad price points; less of a luxury/personalization focus than Toll. |
| D.R. Horton | The nation's volume leader, value-focused (Express Series); Toll is the luxury counterpart with far more customization. |
| Pulte / Del Webb | Strong mid-market and 55+ (Del Webb) builder; Toll competes on luxury finish and its own Regency 55+ product. |
| David Weekley | Well-regarded semi-custom builder with a personalization story closer to Toll's, often at a slightly lower tier. |
| Mattamy | Master-plan developer-builder (RiverTown); Toll builds the gated luxury enclave (Shores) inside it. |
| Richmond American / Lennar | Value and mid-market volume builders; Toll is the step up in price, finish, and customization. |
Hidden Things Toll Buyers Should Know
A few things that consistently come up once buyers get serious about a Toll Brothers home in Northeast Florida.
The Design Studio is where the price moves
The advertised starting price is a base. Most buyers add tens of thousands at the Design Studio, and it is easy to overspend on choices that do not hold value. Go in with a plan for which upgrades matter (structural, kitchen, primary bath) and which to skip.
The no-CDD communities are a real edge
Mill Creek Forest and Newbrook carry no CDD, which most St. Johns competitors cannot say. On a similarly priced home that is a meaningful monthly saving for the life of the loan. If fees matter to you, start there.
Lot premiums go first
Water and preserve homesites carry premiums and sell first. If a view or a private backyard matters, build your search around the lot early rather than the floor plan, because the best lots are gone before the last phases release.
Register with your agent before you visit
This is the big one. The Toll sales agent works for Toll. Many builders, including Toll, will not let you add buyer representation if you register on your own first. Bring your agent in before your first sales-center visit so you are represented on price, incentives, lot premium, upgrades, and contract terms at no cost to you in most cases.
Momentum Expert Insight
Toll is the luxury name in this market, and they have done something smart locally: they cover a lot of ground. You can buy a Toll townhome at Newbrook in the mid-four-hundreds, a waterfront home with a boat slip at Shores, a no-CDD home at Mill Creek Forest, or a 55+ single-story at Regency, all from the same builder. So the first conversation is not "do you want a Toll home," it is "which Toll community fits your life and your budget," because they are genuinely different products.
The thing I push hardest on with Toll buyers is the Design Studio. It is a fantastic experience and it is exactly where people blow their budget. A base price can run up by six figures if no one is helping you separate what adds resale value from what is just a nice-to-have. And do not sleep on the no-CDD communities, Mill Creek Forest and Newbrook, on a similar home that fee structure puts real money back in your pocket every month compared to most of St. Johns.
Most important: the Toll agent at the sales center works for Toll, not for you, and Toll will usually not let you add an agent after you have registered yourself. Call us before you walk in. We will help you pick the right community and collection, get the right lot, decide which upgrades are worth it, capture the incentives, and run your true all-in monthly. It costs you nothing and it changes the deal.

Bring us in before your first builder visit so we can represent you and chase every incentive. No obligation, no spam, no high-pressure follow-up.
