Jon's Current Read

"Deer Run, including the adjoining Woods at Deer Run section, sits on the south side of Julington Creek Plantation, one of St. Johns County's older and more established master-planned communities. The draw is the setting, with more than half of the homes in the Woods at Deer Run section backing to a nature preserve or carrying water or golf-course views, inside a community zoned for some of the county's stronger-performing public schools. Because turnover here is limited, the practical constraint for a buyer is availability, not price discovery, so confirm current Property Owners' Association dues, the Community Development District assessment on the specific parcel, and the exact zoned schools before you underwrite a purchase."

Jon Brooks, founder, Momentum Realty · Updated June 2026

The 60-Second Overview

Deer Run, together with the Woods at Deer Run, is an established single-family resale section on the south side of Julington Creek Plantation, a large master-planned community in St. Johns County built out mainly from the 1990s into the early 2000s. Homes in this part of the community were built by Centex Homes, with more than half of the parcels in the Woods at Deer Run section backing to a nature preserve, and several carrying water or golf-course views near the community's Champions Golf Course and aquatic center.

Every home in Julington Creek Plantation sits under the Julington Creek Plantation Property Owners' Association, which funds the community's shared amenity system, and much of the community, including this section, also carries a Julington Creek Plantation Community Development District assessment. Current POA dues and the specific CDD assessment for a given parcel are not published here and should be confirmed directly with the association and the St. Johns County Property Appraiser before you buy. Because these are resale homes, condition and updates vary house to house rather than following a builder price sheet.

The bigger picture is the surrounding community and school zone. Julington Creek Plantation spans thousands of acres across more than 45 neighborhoods, and this section is zoned into the St. Johns County School District, which has a strong overall reputation, though the exact assigned elementary, middle, and high school depend on the specific address and can split between nearby options. Homes in Deer Run and the Woods at Deer Run come up for sale infrequently, which is worth weighing against the limited selection when you time a purchase.

Median sale price by year. Tap a label to compare Julington Lakes or Jacksonville. The 1-year price change is the median sold price over the most recent year versus the prior year, the same measure most listing sites and local Realtor reports use. It reflects the mix of homes that sold, not the change in any single home's value, which is why median price per square foot is shown alongside it to adjust for home size. In thinly traded neighborhoods, where a sale or two can swing the median, we lead with the mix-resistant price-per-square-foot trend instead.

Built-out section, limited new supply

Evergreen

BullishNotable impact

Deer Run and the Woods at Deer Run are fully built out, so there is no new-construction competition inside the section itself. Value turns on the individual home's condition, lot, and view rather than on builder releases.

The Strategy

The Deer Run buying strategy.

If we were buying in Deer Run, this is the order of operations we would run, and the one we run for our clients.

Pull the specific parcel's record with the St. Johns County Property Appraiser to confirm year built, square footage, and the exact Community Development District assessment.

Contact the Julington Creek Plantation Property Owners' Association directly to confirm current dues, what they cover, and access to the aquatic center and other shared amenities.

Verify the zoned elementary, middle, and high school by the home's exact address with the St. Johns County School District, since Julington Creek Plantation zoning can split between nearby schools.

Get a thorough inspection focused on roof age, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical, since these are 1990s to early 2000s homes with system age that varies by house.

If the home backs to a preserve, water, or the golf course, confirm the exact view and any easement or maintenance responsibility before you rely on it.

The Quick Decision

Best Buy

A well-maintained home on a preserve, water, or golf-course-adjacent lot, with POA dues and the CDD assessment confirmed in writing.

Biggest Risk

Assuming a low HOA or CDD figure without confirming it, or underestimating system-age repairs on a two- to three-decade-old home.

Best Lot

Prioritize a preserve, water, or golf-course-adjacent lot in the Woods at Deer Run section; these are the section's most distinctive homesites.

Smart Timing

Resale-driven and infrequent. Homes here come up for sale rarely, so move when the right condition, lot, and price line up.

Deer Run Homes For Sale

What your money buys in Deer Run.

The takeaway

Three honest price bands. Condition and lot, not the square footage alone, decide where a home lands.

Here are the broad resale bands in Deer Run today. The right home is the one matched to your budget and the renovation math, so seeing fitting listings early is the edge.

The Entry

At the entry tier you are generally looking at original-condition homes near the smaller end of the size range, on interior lots without a preserve or water view, where updates are likely still needed.

Lowest entry

The Core

In the core of the market you find updated midsize homes with refreshed kitchens, baths, and mechanicals, on typical lots within the section. This is the more common move-in resale here.

Most inventory

The Top

At the top are the larger, more fully renovated homes on the section's most distinctive lots, backing to the preserve, water, or the golf course. Confirm the exact condition, square footage, and view on the specific parcel.

Strongest resale

Renovation & Resale Intelligence

The factors that actually move value in Deer Run, condition, lot, and the renovation math, read from current listings and recent sales.

15-Second Take

Renovation math decides the deal
Better lots and views resell strongest
Roof and HVAC age drive the insurance quote
Interior lots are where buyers overpay

Proprietary Data

The renovation premium.

Renovated-listing inventory in Deer Run is too thin right now to compute a reliable renovation premium. We read condition home by home against real comps before you offer.

Lot Value

The lot premium.

On a preferred homesite (water, preserve, corner, or a larger lot), the homesite is the part of your money the market gives back at resale. The house can be renovated; the lot cannot, so premium lots hold their value better than interior ones. How much more they command varies by frontage, view, and condition, which is why we read it home by home against real comparable sales rather than a single headline figure.

Operator Note

Most buyers overpay on interior lots in the back half of the community. A sharp renovation can distract you, but the weaker resale position follows the lot, not the finishes. We read the homesite before the kitchen.

The strongest value pocket is usually a renovated home on a good lot priced just under the next tier up. Buyers chasing the single biggest house often pay top prices for what is really a renovation project.

5 Mistakes Buyers Make in Deer Run

15-Second Take

Calling the listing agent (who works for the seller)
Misjudging the renovation budget
Overpaying for an interior lot
Underbudgeting the carrying costs
Skipping the roof, HVAC, and systems check

The same five mistakes cost buyers the most in any market. Every one is avoidable with the right preparation before you tour.

Calling the listing agent

The agent on the sign works for the seller. In a market where condition swings price by hundreds of thousands, negotiating against that agent with no one in your corner is the costliest move of all.

Misjudging the renovation math

A dated home looks like a deal until you price the roof, HVAC, pool, and full modernization honestly. Underbudget the reno and the bargain becomes the expensive house.

Overpaying for an interior lot

A premium homesite (water, preserve, or a preferred position) carries a real, durable premium. Pay a top price for an interior lot and you are buying the weakest version of the value.

Underbudgeting the carrying costs

Two similar homes can cost very differently to own once the HOA, any CDD, insurance, and upkeep are priced in. Buyers who do not run the full monthly carrying cost misread the real number.

Skipping the systems check

An older home means older systems unless updated. Roof age, HVAC age, pool equipment, and prior renovations drive both price and insurability, and a thorough inspection matters more here than in a new build.

“

The value here is not a builder price sheet, it is the setting and the home: the lot, the view, and confirmed community costs.

Fill = price per square foot; ring = lot type, inferred from listing descriptions. Sold homes are shown by realized $/sqft (lot type not always recorded). Asking and recent-sold figures from realMLS; for orientation, not an appraisal.

15-Second Take

Lots vary between interior parcels and those backing to preserve, water, or the golf course.
The lot and view are the durable differentiators in this built-out resale section.
Verify any claimed amenity access or view with the POA and a current survey, not just a listing description.
Preserve- and golf-adjacent lots tend to hold the most distinctive appeal.
Confirm system age (roof, HVAC) and the CDD assessment as part of your value math, not just the purchase price.

In a built-out section like Deer Run and the Woods at Deer Run, the homes are two to three decades old across the board, so the durable difference between two properties is the lot and how well the house has been maintained or updated. Parcels backing to the preserve, water, or the golf course carry the section's most distinctive appeal, while interior lots trade more on condition and updates alone. Because turnover is limited, confirm the exact lot, any easement or maintenance responsibility, current POA dues, and the CDD assessment as part of your value math alongside the purchase price.

In Deer Run, condition and view decide your number

Because buyers here are weighing your home against renovated comps and cross-shopping Julington Lakes, a home priced to the community average instead of its true condition and view either leaves money on the table or sits. A renovated kitchen, newer roof and HVAC, and a golf or lake view all deserve to show up in your price, and a buyer pool reading renovation math needs to be shown why your home is worth it. We build that case with real comps and a pricing strategy for the current market.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Deer Run a new-construction community?

No. Deer Run and the adjoining Woods at Deer Run are established sections of Julington Creek Plantation, generally built by Centex Homes from the 1990s into the early 2000s. Homes here are resales, not new builds.

What kind of homes are in Deer Run?

Single-family homes generally running roughly 2,000 to 4,000 square feet, consistent with the wider community. Condition ranges from original to updated, and more than half of the Woods at Deer Run parcels back to a nature preserve.

Is there an HOA?

Yes. Homes fall under the Julington Creek Plantation Property Owners' Association. A current dues amount is not independently confirmed here; get the exact figure and coverage from the association or a current listing before you buy.

Is there a CDD bond on the taxes?

Much of Julington Creek Plantation, including this section, carries a Community Development District assessment. Confirm the exact figure on the specific parcel's tax record with the St. Johns County Property Appraiser before you rely on it.

What amenities does the community have?

The Julington Creek Plantation Property Owners' Association has supported shared amenities that have included an aquatic center, tennis courts, and parks, along with proximity to the Champions Golf Course. Verify what is currently open and included directly with the association.

What should I check before buying a home here?

Focus on roof age, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical, since these vary across homes built roughly two to three decades ago. Get a thorough inspection and budget for updates where needed.

Is Deer Run gated or age-restricted?

There is no verified information that this section is gated, and it is not marketed as age-restricted or 55 plus based on available information.

What schools serve the community?

It is in the St. Johns County School District, with Creekside High School or Bartram Trail High School potentially zoned depending on the exact address, along with Fruit Cove Middle School and Julington Creek Elementary School. Verify the zoned schools by the specific address.

How should I think about the lot?

In this built-out section, the lot and view matter more than a builder price sheet. Parcels backing to the preserve, water, or the golf course tend to carry the most distinctive appeal.
