Quick Facts

Community Overview & History

A new Bartram townhome community

Bartram Meadows sits in the Bartram area of south Jacksonville near Racetrack Road, one of the city's fastest-growing corridors close to the St. Johns County line and I-95. Dream Finders Homes built the community as a new townhome neighborhood.

Open-concept townhomes

The community pairs new construction with a low-maintenance townhome format, open-concept layouts with 10-foot ceilings, which makes it a fit for first-time buyers, downsizers, and anyone who wants a new home without the upkeep of a yard.

The Townhomes

Bartram Meadows is a new-construction community of two floor plans, so the choice is mostly the plan, the interior versus end unit, and the upgrades.

The floor plans

The community offers two open-concept three-bedroom plans from about 1,541 to 1,709 square feet, with two-and-a-half baths and 10-foot ceilings.

Interior and end units

End units and homesites backing to green space or water can carry a premium over interior units, which sit at the lower end of the range.

Real Estate Market

Bartram Meadows is a new-construction townhome community, so pricing tracks the builder's base prices, the floor plan, and the upgrades. Townhomes start around $299,990 and run into the $300,000s and higher depending on the plan and the homesite.

For county context, the NEFAR April 2026 report put the Duval County median single-family price at about $332,500, a county-wide figure. As new townhomes, Bartram Meadows sits around that level, with attached homes generally below detached single-family prices in the area.

Who Lives Here

Bartram Meadows draws first-time buyers, downsizers, and professionals who want a new, low-maintenance home near the Bartram shopping and I-95 without a yard to maintain.

Schools

Bartram Meadows is served by Duval County Public Schools. In Duval the strongest schools are a mix of zoned neighborhood schools and application magnets, and middle and high assignments are not reliable from a community name alone. Confirm the current zoning for a specific address with the district locator at duvalschools.org before you buy. See the best schools in Duval County guide for the rankings and how zones affect prices.

Amenities & Lifestyle

Bartram Meadows is a townhome community whose main appeal is new construction, the low-maintenance format, and the location.

Low-maintenance living

The HOA-managed, attached-home format means less exterior upkeep, a fit for a lock-and-leave owner or a first-time buyer.

Location near shopping and I-95

The community sits near Racetrack Road shopping, dining, and outdoor recreation, with quick I-95 access to downtown, the Town Center, and St. Johns County.

HOA, CDD & Costs

Bartram Meadows carries a homeowners association with dues that cover the common areas and the townhome exterior upkeep. Confirm the current dues, what they cover, and whether the wider Bartram area carries a CDD assessment, for a specific home in writing.

Insurance is a cost to confirm. The homes are brand new, so roof age is not a factor, and the inland Bartram location is away from the coast. On a townhome, confirm what the association master policy covers versus your own policy.

Commute Analysis

The Bartram location favors I-95 and the St. Johns County and Southside job corridors. Test your specific commute, since Racetrack Road and the I-95 interchange carry traffic at peak hours as the area grows.

Shopping & Dining

Everyday shopping and dining sit along Racetrack Road and the Bartram corridors, with the Durbin Pavilion and the St. Johns Town Center a short drive for big-box and upscale options.

Pros and Cons

Bartram Meadows vs. Comparable Communities

Hidden Things Buyers Should Know

Bring your own agent to the builder

On new construction the builder's sales staff represents the builder, not you. Bring your own agent to the first visit to have someone working for your interests on price, upgrades, and the contract. The builder typically pays the buyer-agent compensation.

Confirm the CDD and HOA

The wider Bartram area can carry a CDD assessment on top of the HOA. Confirm both for the specific home so you know the true monthly cost.
