Edison at eTown Homes for Sale in Jacksonville, FL

Edison is where eTown’s square footage lives: a gated Toll Brothers village of 14 designs running from about 2,583 to over 4,400 square feet, one- and two-story, each with four exterior elevations. It is the tier eTown buyers graduate into when the master plan’s cottage, garden, and townhome sections run out of bedrooms, up to the estate tier, the 3,985-square-foot Delmonico, the 4,149-square-foot Abigail, and the 4,367-square-foot Clarkson with up to seven bedrooms. One correction worth making out loud: Edison is Toll Brothers, not David Weekley.

Recent resales have asked from $699,000 to over $1.2 million, averaging roughly $287 per square foot; the old high-$300Ks entry now belongs to the Edison East villa and executive sections next door, so keep your search and your comps separate. Value drivers inside the gate are plan size first, lot backing second (preserve and water lots carry the premiums), and option depth third, two homes with the same plan name can sit $150K apart on finish alone. Because the village is young, inspections focus on builder-era items, stucco and drainage, warranty-transfer status, and punch-list history, rather than roof age.

Edison is big-house master-plan living with a gate on the front of it. The daily rhythm is Recharge campus mornings, trail loops, fiber-speed work-from-home in a dedicated office (the plans are big enough to have one), and the 9B ramp minutes away when the city calls. Inside the gate, Edison keeps its own playground, dog park, and pavilion, and every owner gets full eTown rights: the Recharge resort and lap pools, the high-tech fitness center and yoga lawn, the trail network, and community-wide fiber.

The growth-corridor reality is honest: eTown and its corridor are still building, so construction traffic, new sections, and changing retail are the price of buying into momentum, and the gate insulates the street, not the commute. Builder trees take a decade to make shade, and a 4,000-square-foot elevation in full Florida sun is a real cooling bill. Expect architectural review and maintained-yard expectations across both the master-plan and Edison document layers. Publix at Reedy Branch Commons sits under three miles out, and the 9B math puts St. Johns Town Center about ten minutes away.

• The CDD line — the parcel’s actual assessment, about $1,378 a year, on the tax bill.
• HOA layers — master plus Edison assessments, current amounts, confirmed through estoppel in writing.
• Edison vs. Edison East — separate them in the search, the comps, and the price.
• The option audit — builder-basic versus optioned, priced explicitly against the plan, not just the design name.
• Lot backing — preserve, water, or neighbor, premium priced separately.
• Warranty transfer — what Toll Brothers coverage remains and conveys.
• Big-house carrying audit and school zoning — insurance and utility history before you offer, plus the current assignment and any announced corridor rezoning.

The realistic cross-shop runs inside and outside the master plan.

The verdict: inside eTown, Edison wins on square footage, nothing else in the plan competes above 4,000 feet. Outside it, Tamaya is the real cross-shop at this budget, trading eTown’s fiber-forward newness for Mediterranean grandeur nearer the beaches. The CDD rides along in every case, so the decision is plan, lot, and architecture, not fee escape.
