The Homes & Style
Bridgewater is a D.R. Horton townhome community of roughly 800 homes on about 145 acres in north St. Johns County, between I-95 and US-1 near CR-210. The two- and three-bedroom townhomes are newer low-maintenance construction with current code, newer systems, and builder warranties, and a growing resale segment as the community fills in.
Because much of it is new, negotiation often happens on builder incentives, rate buydowns and closing-cost credits, rather than the base price. Price a specific home off the closest comparable sales, and weigh the unit, end units and preserve or pond views carry the premium.
Living Here
Daily life centers on the community pool and cabana, a fitness center, a splash pad, a playground, a dog park, and volleyball, with quick I-95 access via CR-210 and the corridor's growing retail minutes away. The big draw is top-rated St. Johns County schools at a townhome price.
This is a growing north-county corridor: the CR-210 widening and the First Coast Expressway are adding capacity, which means some construction friction now and better access soon.
Before You Offer
Before you sign here, run this list.
- Register your own agent before the first sales-center visit
- Confirm the HOA dues and the Bridgewater North CDD assessment for the specific home
- Translate incentives into monthly dollars
- Confirm what the HOA and CDD cover and the amenity access
- Schedule pre-drywall and final inspections independent of the builder
- Confirm the zoned schools for the address with St. Johns County
How It Compares to Nearby Communities
The honest way to place Bridgewater is against the other north-St. Johns options.
| Community | How it compares |
|---|---|
| Markland | An established north-St. Johns master plan with single-family homes nearby; cross-shop the dues and the CDD. |
| SilverLeaf | A larger nearby master plan with deeper amenities and single-family options at higher prices. |
Bridgewater wins on attainable price and top schools; the cases against are townhome living and the CDD-plus-HOA carrying cost.
Who It Fits
Bridgewater fits the value-minded buyer who wants top schools at a townhome price, not the buyer who wants a single-family home or to avoid a CDD.
Fits you if
- You want attainable, low-maintenance townhome living
- You value top-rated St. Johns County schools
- You want quick I-95 access
- You are a first-time buyer or lock-and-leave owner
Look elsewhere if
- You want a single-family home and yard
- You want to avoid a CDD and minimize carrying cost
- You want an established, built-out community
- You will not register an agent before touring
