This is a deliberately dumb estimate — living area times a range of recent neighborhood $/sq ft, and nothing else. It is not an appraisal, not market value, and not a valuation of this home. Even a tight range from comparable sales can’t price a specific home — here’s why.
$459,800the mess$587,400
Actual list price: $598,538 — compare it against the range above. The Messtimate is a blind sqft estimate; the list price reflects this specific home.
A 28% spread on the same house — and that gap is exactly what an automated guess can't see:
Condition & finishes — as new construction, builder upgrades and finish level aren't in a sq ft number.
The lot & views — a premium golf, water, or preserve lot vs. a road-facing one: same sq ft, very different price.
Outliers skew it — one flip or distressed sale in the comps drags the whole $/sq ft up or down.
Carrying costs & concessions — this home carries HOA dues of $136/mo and a CDD assessment of about $1,900/yr; with insurance and any seller-paid buydown, that changes what a buyer actually pays, and a sq ft estimate ignores all of it.
And here's what the live market is doing — which the number above ignores entirely:
63 active listings competing, 59 under contract
≈2.2 months of supply
360 closed here in the last 12 months
For reference, this home is listed at $598,538 ($272/sq ft) — a number set with analysis a Messtimate can't do.

Aug 2026 · Market
RiverTown lands 20th on the RCLCO mid year ranking of top selling master planned communities
Consultant RCLCO placed RiverTown 20th in its mid year 2026 list of top selling master planned communities, crediting 300 home sales so far this year, roughly 3 percent ahead of the same point in 2025. Mattamy Homes is building toward about 4,500 homes at full completion. SilverLeaf, also in northwest St. Johns County, ranked 7th with 575 sales.
Why it matters: Absorption at this pace could keep builder incentives narrower here than in slower submarkets, though resale sellers may continue competing directly against new inventory.
Greenbriar tract at CR 210 and Veterans Parkway trades for 11.1 million dollars
Land planned for a grocery anchored shopping center sold July 15 for 11.1 million dollars to Southeastern, an Augusta, Georgia development firm with a track record building for Kroger, The Home Depot and Dick's Sporting Goods. County review documents describe roughly 77,000 square feet of center anchored by a 61,000 square foot grocery store, plus four outparcels and a fueling station site.
Why it matters: A closed land sale historically moves a grocery concept from speculative to probable, which could shorten daily errand trips for the west side of the RiverTown and Greenbriar corridor.
County breaks ground on $23.8 million Greenbriar Park and Library
St. Johns County held a March 10, 2026 groundbreaking for Greenbriar Park and Library at 505 Rally Road, a $23.8 million project that is the third of four sites in the county's regional park initiative. Plans include two softball fields, two baseball fields, pickleball courts, a playground, and a full-service library and community center.
Why it matters: A county-funded park and library within a short drive of RiverTown could add public amenity depth that the community itself does not have to fund, a factor that may support the broader Greenbriar corridor's appeal.
Fifth Third Bank branch advances at Shoppes at RiverTown
A sign permit was issued February 13, 2026 for the Fifth Third Bank branch under construction at the Shoppes at RiverTown off Greenbriar Road and Longleaf Pine Parkway, following a roughly $2.5 million building permit issued in October 2025. The branch adds a national bank presence to the Publix-anchored center serving the community.
Why it matters: Financial services tenants typically follow proven rooftop counts, so this commitment may be read as a vote of confidence in RiverTown's maturing commercial node.

Before you decide
Buyer research checklist
Items worth confirming for 253 OAKMOSS Drive, chosen from what the record shows. This is general guidance, not advice about this specific property.
New construction: get the builder's warranty terms and the certificate of occupancy in writing, and ask which finishes shown are upgrades.
HOA dues are listed at $136/mo: request the current budget, reserves, and rules before relying on that figure or on any restriction.
A CDD assessment of about $1,900/yr is on record: confirm the bond balance and remaining term with the district; it appears on the tax bill.
FEMA flood zone X: flood insurance is not usually required, but get a quote anyway — FEMA reports roughly one in four flood claims come from outside high-risk zones.
Get a homeowners insurance quote for this specific address in St. Johns County; a wind-mitigation inspection and, on older homes, a four-point inspection can change the premium.
Listed living area is 2,200 sq ft: verify it against the property appraiser's record and measure before relying on it.
Order a survey to confirm lot boundaries and easements.
Review permit history with the county.
Property taxes: the estimate on this page (about $5,147/yr) assumes reassessment at the list price; the seller's homestead cap does not transfer, so their current bill is not a guide.
School zoning shown here comes from district data and changes; confirm the assigned schools directly with the district before relying on them.

Frequently asked questions
How big is 253 OAKMOSS Drive and when was it built?
Per the listing record, 253 OAKMOSS Drive was built in 2026 and has 2,200 sq ft of living area, 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms. Living area and lot size come from the MLS record and should be verified against the county property appraiser.
What community is 253 OAKMOSS Drive in?
253 OAKMOSS Drive is in Rivertown Shores in St. Johns, St. Johns County. The community section on this page shows recent closed sales, days on market, and active inventory for Rivertown Shores from the same MLS data.
Does 253 OAKMOSS Drive have an HOA, and how much are the dues?
The listing reports HOA dues of $136 per month. Dues, what they cover, and the community's rules should be confirmed from the association's current documents before relying on them.
What is a CDD fee?
A Community Development District fee funds a community's roads, amenities, and infrastructure through a bond and appears on the annual tax bill. This parcel shows a CDD assessment of about $1,900 per year; confirm the exact figure with the county.
Why might property taxes on 253 OAKMOSS Drive differ from the current owner's?
The estimate on this page (about $5,147 per year) assumes reassessment at the list price. Florida's Save Our Homes rule caps annual assessment increases for homesteaded owners, and the assessment resets after a sale, so a new owner's bill may differ from the seller's. Any tax figure shown here is an estimate, not the actual bill — confirm with the county property appraiser and tax collector.
Are short-term rentals allowed at 253 OAKMOSS Drive?
Many communities restrict short-term rentals, and city/county rules also apply. Confirm the current HOA/CDD rules and local ordinances directly before assuming any rental use.
Is 253 OAKMOSS Drive in a flood zone?
The FEMA flood map places this parcel in Zone X, outside the special flood hazard area, so flood insurance is not usually required by a lender. It is still available and worth quoting; confirm the parcel's status with FEMA and your insurer.
Can I rely on the figures on this page?
No. Estimated taxes, insurance, payments, and any market or comparable-sales summary are opinions and estimates for general information only and should not be relied upon. Verify all information independently before making any decision.
