Community Details at a Glance
The Homes
Product
32 single-family homesites built out by Maronda Homes; one- and two-story plans roughly 1,600 to 3,200 sq ft on oversized, private lots
Builder
Maronda Homes, a family-owned builder operating since 1972; the neighborhood is now built out and trades as resale
Scale
A boutique 32-home pocket with no amenity center, so it stays quiet and inexpensive to run
Ownership
Owner-occupied single-family with no age restriction; confirm any HOA rental rules before buying for income
Costs & Fees
HOA
Low or voluntary, with no master-plan amenity to fund; confirm the exact dues and what they cover in writing
CDD
None. Creekside Landing carries no CDD bond, which is the headline cost difference versus Wildlight and Tributary 20 minutes east
Reality
The value here is carrying cost: a near-new home on a big lot without the CDD assessment that rides every master-planned tax bill nearby
Amenities
Lot size
Oversized, private homesites are the draw; buyers trade resort amenities for land and lower fees
No amenity center
There is no pool or clubhouse; this is a simple residential pocket, not a master plan
Country setting

Access
US-1 and US-301 put Jacksonville's Northside and Westside job centers and the coast corridor within reach

The Homes & Style
Creekside Landing is a small Maronda Homes pocket of 32 single-family houses on oversized, private lots in Callahan. It now trades as resale, so the buy is about the specific plan, the lot, and condition rather than a sales-center options list.
Floor plans run roughly 1,600 to 3,200 square feet across one- and two-story designs, with new homes that originally priced from the low $400s.
With only 32 homesites, inventory is structurally thin; a single listing can set the tone, so price off the closest comparable Callahan sales.
Lot size and condition drive value here more than any single floor plan, because the lots are the headline feature.
Living Here
Creekside Landing keeps it simple: big lots, quiet streets, and no amenity center to fund.
There is no pool or clubhouse; buyers here are choosing land and low carrying cost over resort amenities.
Callahan offers a country pace with recreation, fishing lakes, and trails close by, while US-1 and US-301 keep Jacksonville and the coast within an easy drive.
The neighborhood sits in the West Nassau County school zone, anchored by West Nassau County High School.
The biggest practical advantage is the absence of a CDD bond, which keeps the all-in monthly cost below comparable master-planned new builds in Yulee.
Before You Offer
Nassau County flood risk concentrates near the St. Marys and Nassau rivers, the marshes, and the creeks, while many inland Callahan parcels sit in lower-risk zones. Pull the FEMA flood designation for the exact Creekside Landing address before you write, since two nearby homes can fall in different zones; a Zone X home can cost far less to insure than one near water.
Get a bindable flood and homeowners quote during your inspection period so the cost is in your monthly math before you commit, not after.
Confirm whether each home is on a private well and septic or on public utilities, which is common to verify in the Callahan area and affects both cost and maintenance.
Nassau County total millage varies by district, and the Florida homestead exemption can lower the bill for those who qualify, with a March 1 deadline to file a new homestead exemption. When you buy, the prior owner's Save Our Homes cap ends and the assessed value resets to the new just value, so budget the true second-year tax number, not the seller's current one.
Comparisons
Creekside Landing competes for the value buyer who wants a near-new home on a real lot without master-plan fees. Against Callahan Acres and Amhurst Oaks, the closest Callahan new-construction pockets, Creekside Landing trades a larger or newer builder community for an even smaller, lot-forward footprint and no CDD; the trade is amenities and replacement supply for privacy and low carrying cost. Against the big Yulee master plans, Wildlight and Tributary 20 minutes east, Creekside Landing gives up clubhouses, pools, trails, and a deep resale pool, but wins decisively on monthly cost because there is no CDD assessment riding the tax bill, and on lot size for the money. The honest summary: Creekside Landing wins on lot, quiet, and carrying cost, and gives ground on amenities, walkability, and the liquidity of a large community at resale.
Who It Fits
Creekside Landing fits the value-driven family or move-up local who wants a near-new home on an oversized lot in the West Nassau school zone, and the Jacksonville Northside or Westside commuter priced out of comparable Duval new builds who is willing to drive a bit for more land and a lower monthly number. It fits the buyer who would rather skip a CDD bond and amenity dues than pay for a pool and clubhouse they will rarely use. It does not fit the buyer who wants walkable amenities, a clubhouse and pool, or the deep, liquid resale market of a large master plan, for whom Wildlight or Tributary in Yulee is the better target. Anyone considering Creekside Landing should confirm the HOA scope, the utilities setup, and the FEMA flood zone by address before writing an offer.
