Costas Ridge is a built-out new-construction community in Jay (ZIP 32565), in the central Santa Rosa County countryside, on Hollandtown Road near Highway 178 (Spanish Trail), between Jay and Chumuckla. It is roughly 25 minutes north of the Five Points area in Pace and is the most northern new-home community in Santa Rosa County.
The community was built by Century Complete, part of Century Communities, with single-story stylish homes. It is now sold out, so purchases are resales of nearly-new homes only a few years old. Confirm the current availability and floor plans for a specific home.
The setting is rural countryside with the affordability and elbow room that draws buyers to the county's far north, in the A-rated Santa Rosa County School District. There may be a homeowners association; confirm the current dues and what they cover, and verify whether any community development district (CDD) bond applies. Confirm the zoning by address.
Because the homes are recent and uniform, the buy hinges on the lot and light condition since move-in rather than a deep renovation. A larger or better-positioned lot is the part of the value most likely to hold up at resale in a rural, affordable market.
