Del Webb Nocatee

As of 2026, Del Webb Nocatee is a premium 55-plus community, with an average price around $650,000 and homes scaling well above that depending on plan, size, lot, and options. That places it at the top of the Northeast Florida active-adult market, reflecting the Nocatee address, the beach proximity, and the size and newness of the Next Gen homes.

Because this is new construction with ongoing building, watch the base-versus-configured price. Lot premiums, especially preserve and water lots, structural options, and design selections move the number significantly, so decide your all-in budget before touring a model loaded with upgrades. Both new and resale homes trade here, so a buyer can compare a builder home against a lightly-used resale, which is a useful lever.

The recurring cost is layered and material at this price point. Nocatee's CDD assessment funds the master plan's infrastructure, the Del Webb amenity fee funds the 55-plus clubhouse and lifestyle program, and the HOA covers common areas. That stack, on top of a premium purchase price, makes the all-in monthly number important to model, and it is a key thing to compare against both the adjacent Del Webb Ponte Vedra and lower-priced 55-plus communities elsewhere.

Del Webb is Pulte's active-adult brand, and Del Webb Nocatee follows its national model: a gated, age-qualified community organized around a clubhouse and a curated lifestyle program. What distinguishes this community is the home product, Next Gen floor plans, the first Del Webb released, designed for flexible, multigenerational use, in traditional, coastal, and craftsman styles.

Homes range from roughly 1,529 to over 3,361 square feet, among the largest and newest 55-plus homes in Northeast Florida, built to Pulte's Del Webb specifications with single-level-oriented, low-maintenance layouts and energy-efficient features. The size and newness, combined with the Nocatee address, are why the average price sits around $650,000, well above most 55-plus communities in the area.

The community's premium comes from its setting. Nocatee is one of the country's top-selling master plans, with renowned amenities, parks, and trails, and Del Webb Nocatee sits minutes from the Atlantic beaches, Ponte Vedra's world-class golf, the Mayo Clinic, and the Nocatee Town Center's shopping and dining. Buyers pay for that location and lifestyle, and for many it is worth it.

Del Webb Nocatee centers on a roughly 20,000-square-foot clubhouse, the community's social heart, with a state-of-the-art fitness center, a billiard parlor, a catering kitchen, and an on-site restaurant, the Tavern & Grill, which is an unusual and welcome amenity in a 55-plus community. Outdoors, residents enjoy a resort-style pool with lap lanes, tennis courts, and pickleball courts.

Beyond the gates, Del Webb Nocatee residents tap into the broader Nocatee master plan, which is renowned for its amenities, including parks, an extensive trail and greenway network, and recreation, extending the lifestyle well past the community's own clubhouse. That dual layer, a dedicated 55-plus amenity center plus access to one of the country's top master plans, is central to the community's appeal.

These amenities are funded through the Del Webb amenity fee layered with Nocatee's CDD and the HOA, covered next. The depth of the package, both Del Webb's own and Nocatee's, is a core part of the premium, and confirming exactly what your fees cover is worth doing before you buy.

Everyday shopping and dining are close at the Nocatee Town Center, the master plan's retail hub, with a Publix-anchored center, restaurants, and services, plus the on-site Tavern & Grill within Del Webb Nocatee itself. For an active-adult community, having that breadth of retail and dining within the master plan is a genuine convenience.

For more, the shopping and dining of Ponte Vedra and the St. Johns Town Center to the north and historic St. Augustine to the south are a reasonable drive, and the beaches are minutes away. The combination, Nocatee's own retail plus the coast and regional destinations close by, gives Del Webb Nocatee residents an unusually strong location for both daily life and recreation.

First, do not confuse Del Webb Nocatee with Del Webb Ponte Vedra (Riverwood). They are two different communities inside Nocatee, with different ages, home designs, clubhouses, and price points. Make sure you are touring and comparing the right one.

Second, Pulte's on-site sales rep represents the builder, not you. You can almost always bring your own agent, with negotiable compensation set in a written agreement, but you generally must register that agent on your first visit. Bring your agent first.

Third, the cost is layered and material at this price point: the Nocatee CDD plus the Del Webb amenity fee plus HOA. Get every number in writing for your specific home and model the all-in monthly cost.

Fourth, lot position drives a lot of the premium. Preserve and water lots carry meaningful premiums and hold value, but weigh them against the budget.

Fifth, compare Pulte's preferred-lender incentive against an outside lender on the same terms, since a closing-cost credit tied to a higher rate is not always the better deal.

St. Johns County flooding concentrates near the Intracoastal, the coast, and the creeks and marshes, while many inland master-planned communities sit in lower-risk zones.

The reliable move is to pull the FEMA flood designation for the exact Del Webb Nocatee address before you write an offer, since two homes in the same area can fall in different zones. A home in Zone X can cost far less to insure than one near water in Zone AE. Get a bindable flood and homeowners quote during your inspection period, so the cost is in your monthly math before you commit, not after.

St. Johns County is well served by AT&T (fiber in most newer communities) and Xfinity (Comcast), though fiber availability still varies by street. If working from home matters, confirm the options, and fiber in particular, at the specific Del Webb Nocatee address rather than assuming.

St. Johns County total millage varies by district, and CDD assessments are common in the master-planned communities, which adds to the all-in cost on top of the millage. The Florida homestead exemption for 2026 is 51,411 dollars for those who qualify, and the deadline to file a new homestead exemption is March 1.

The trap to plan for at this price point is the layered Nocatee assessments on top of the millage: the CDD bond and the HOA are billed in addition to the Del Webb amenity fee, and the CDD is not reduced by the homestead exemption. Budget the true all-in number, and confirm every line in writing for the specific home before you commit.

The honest way to place Del Webb Nocatee is against the other Northeast Florida 55-plus communities a buyer is realistically weighing, especially its Nocatee sibling. Each trades something different.

Against the adjacent Del Webb Ponte Vedra, sometimes called Riverwood, Del Webb Nocatee is the newer community with later Next Gen home designs and its own roughly 20,000-square-foot clubhouse, while the sibling offers the original, more established 55-plus community with the larger Anastasia Club and a longer resale track record. Against the more attainable, inland Del Webb eTown in Jacksonville, Del Webb Nocatee trades a higher price and the layered Nocatee CDD for the beach proximity, the Nocatee address, and larger, newer homes. Del Webb Nocatee's case against this field is location and product: the newest, largest 55-plus homes inside the top-selling Nocatee master plan, minutes from the beach and the Mayo Clinic, with a full amenity center plus all of Nocatee. The case against it is the premium price and the layered Nocatee CDD, where a value-focused buyer would prefer a lower-priced 55-plus community elsewhere, and a buyer wanting the original Nocatee 55-plus community would look next door at Del Webb Ponte Vedra.

Del Webb Nocatee fits active adults 55 and better who want the newest and largest 55-plus homes in Northeast Florida, the beach and Ponte Vedra's golf minutes away, and the deep amenity package of both a dedicated 55-plus clubhouse and all of the Nocatee master plan. It fits the buyer who values a full lifestyle program and an on-site restaurant, the buyer who wants new construction with a builder warranty or a lightly used resale, and the buyer for whom the Nocatee address and coastal proximity are worth a premium. It does not fit the value-focused buyer who wants the lowest possible carrying cost, since the layered Nocatee CDD, Del Webb amenity fee, and HOA stack on top of a premium price, nor the buyer who wants the original Nocatee 55-plus community, who should look next door at Del Webb Ponte Vedra. And anyone weighing Del Webb Nocatee should confirm they are touring the right of the two Nocatee Del Webb communities and model the full fee stack before deciding the location is worth the price.
