Freedom Landing at Crosswater

Executive Summary

Freedom Landing is a roughly 106-home neighborhood inside Crosswater at Nocatee, built around 2019 to 2021 on 50 and 60 foot homesites by David Weekley, Providence, Riverside, ICI, CalAtlantic, and Dostie, which gives the streets more architectural variety than the single-builder sections nearby.

The design theme is Old Towne: front porches, picket fences, and tree-lined streets, and it shows up in resale demand; closed sales ran 600,000 to 1,185,000 dollars with a median around 898,000 dollars and roughly 293 dollars per square foot per neighborhoods.com data fetched in June 2026.

The fee stack is Nocatee standard: an HOA reported at 949 to 989 dollars, which appears to be annual but should be verified, plus the Tolomato Community Development District assessment that every Nocatee buyer needs to see in writing.

Quick Facts

Community Overview & History

The front-porch experiment inside Crosswater

Crosswater is one of the larger and newer villages of Nocatee, the master-planned giant straddling the Ponte Vedra side of St. Johns County, and Freedom Landing was its throwback play: a compact neighborhood of about 106 homes designed around an Old Towne theme, with porches pushed to the street, picket fences, and a builder roster of six names instead of one.

How it feels on the ground today

Freedom Landing is fully built and lived in, with the landscaping matured past the new-construction phase, and the variety of builders means the streetscape does not repeat itself the way single-builder sections do. Buying here now means buying resale, with the Crosswater amenity campus a short ride away and the full Nocatee network, Splash and Spray water parks included, behind it.

The Builder Mix and the Lot Sizes

Freedom Landing is one neighborhood, but six builders and two lot widths create real differences house to house, so the homework is plan, builder, and lot.

The 50-foot homesites

The smaller lots carry the more compact plans, generally starting around 1,900 square feet and 3 bedrooms; this is where the entry pricing for the neighborhood lives.

The 60-foot homesites

The wider lots take the larger plans, up to about 3,200 square feet and 5 bedrooms, and they anchored the top of the closed-sale range, 1,185,000 dollars per neighborhoods.com data fetched in June 2026.

The builder roster

David Weekley, Providence, Riverside, ICI, CalAtlantic, and Dostie all built here; build quality and floor plan logic vary by name, so walk comparable homes from different builders before you pick.

Preserve and water lots

Lots backing conservation or water carried premiums new and carry them again on resale; price the view honestly against interior-lot comps.

Real Estate Market

Per neighborhoods.com data fetched in June 2026, closed sales in Freedom Landing ran 600,000 to 1,185,000 dollars with a median around 898,000 dollars and roughly 293 dollars per square foot; a current listing was asking 675,000 dollars at the same fetch, so the band is wide and plan-dependent.

The buyer pool is Nocatee families chasing the school zoning and the amenity network, plus buyers who specifically want the porch-and-picket-fence streetscape that most of Crosswater does not offer.

Inventory is thin because the neighborhood is only about 106 homes; well-priced listings with good lots move fast, and the comp set is small enough that one or two sales can swing the apparent trend.

Who Lives Here

Freedom Landing draws families targeting St. Johns County schools, Nocatee loyalists moving up or sideways within the master plan, and buyers who want a front-porch neighborhood feel without giving up the resort amenity network.

Schools

Freedom Landing at Crosswater is served by the top-rated St. Johns County School District, with attendance zones by home address. Confirm the exact zoning for a Freedom Landing at Crosswater address before you buy. Pine Island Academy, the K through 8 inside Nocatee, is the typical zone for Crosswater addresses, but zoning shifts as the county grows, so confirm before you write an offer.

Amenities & Lifestyle

The amenity story is two layers: the Crosswater campus close to home, and the full Nocatee network behind it, which is the real reason the fee stack exists.

Crosswater pool and pavilion

The neighborhood-level campus with a pool including lap lanes, a pavilion, and gathering space.

Playground and dog parks

The daily-use pieces of the Crosswater campus, a short walk or golf cart ride from most of Freedom Landing.

Nocatee Splash and Spray parks

The headline water parks of the master plan, included with Nocatee residency.

Trails and greenways

The Nocatee path network connects the villages, the Town Center, and the preserve trails.

HOA, CDD & Costs

The Freedom Landing HOA was reported at 949 to 989 dollars on listing aggregators at publish time, and that figure appears to be annual, but the cadence was not confirmed, so get the current amount and frequency in writing.

The Tolomato Community Development District applies, as it does across Nocatee; the assessment varies by neighborhood and lot, so pull the exact CDD line from the tax bill of the specific home before contract.

Run the full stack, HOA plus CDD plus taxes, against the non-CDD St. Johns County options before you decide; the Nocatee amenity network is what you are buying with that money, and for many families it pencils.

Commute Analysis

Freedom Landing works off Crosswater Parkway to Nocatee Parkway: the Town Center errands are five minutes, the beach run is about twenty, and US 1 carries the St. Augustine and Jacksonville commutes.

Shopping & Dining

Nocatee Town Center covers the grocery, dining, and daily-errand layer five minutes away, with Sawgrass Village and the Ponte Vedra Beach corridor adding depth and St. Johns Town Center handling the regional mall run.

Pros and Cons

Freedom Landing at Crosswater vs. Comparable Communities

Hidden Things Buyers Should Know

The six-builder spread

Most buyers treat Freedom Landing as one product, but a David Weekley home and a CalAtlantic home on the same street can differ meaningfully in layout logic and finish level; the builder name on the deed should change your offer.

The annual-versus-monthly trap

The 949 to 989 dollar HOA figure floats around listings without a cadence attached; read it as monthly and the home looks expensive, read it as annual and it is one of the lighter HOA lines in Nocatee. Verify it, because the difference is the whole math.

The small-comp-set effect

With about 106 homes, two unusual sales can make the neighborhood look like it jumped or dropped; smart buyers and sellers comp against all of Crosswater, not just Freedom Landing.

Momentum Expert Insight

Selling a Home in Freedom Landing at Crosswater

Selling in Freedom Landing means selling the streetscape and the lot as much as the house; the porch-and-picket-fence theme photographs beautifully and should lead the marketing.

We price from the freshest Crosswater comparables, adjust honestly for builder and lot, and present the fee stack clearly so buyers do not stall at the CDD question.

Flood Zones & Insurance

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 Freedom Landing at Crosswater 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.

Internet & Connectivity

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 Freedom Landing at Crosswater address rather than assuming.

The Tax Reality

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 is the post-sale reset: when you buy, the Save Our Homes cap from the previous owner ends and the assessed value resets to the new just value, so your second-year tax bill is often higher than the seller current one. Budget the true number, and confirm whether the specific home carries a CDD or other assessment that is billed separately from the millage and is not reduced by the homestead exemption.

What Your Budget Buys Here

The same budget buys very different homes across Freedom Landing at Crosswater and the surrounding area, depending on age, size, lot, and condition. Rather than anchor on the asking price or the neighborhood average, price any specific home off the most recent comparable sales, and weigh what your money would buy in the nearby alternatives before you commit.

The Future of the Area

St. Johns County continues to grow, with new rooftops, retail, and road work reshaping parts of the area. That growth supports long-run demand, but it can also add competing inventory and construction traffic in the near term, so factor both the upside and the disruption into your timing and your pricing.

Resale Liquidity

How quickly a Freedom Landing at Crosswater home resells comes down to presentation, condition, and pricing against the latest comparable sales rather than the neighborhood average. Homes that are priced correctly and shown well tend to move, while overpriced or dated homes sit. We track the active and sold comparable set so a Freedom Landing at Crosswater home is priced to the real market.

The Freedom Landing at Crosswater Playbook

If you are buying in Freedom Landing at Crosswater, here is how we would approach it: pull the flood zone and a real insurance quote for the specific address, confirm the HOA dues and whether a CDD applies, compare what your budget would buy nearby, and price the home off the closest comparable sales rather than the asking price. If you are buying any new-construction home, bring your own agent before you register, since the on-site representative works for the builder, not for you.

Questions We Would Ask Before Buying Here

Mistakes to Avoid

The common ones around Freedom Landing at Crosswater: trusting the seller current tax bill instead of the post-sale reset; skipping the address-specific flood check; assuming fiber is at every home; and pricing off the neighborhood average rather than the closest comparable sales. Each is avoidable with the right diligence, which is exactly where having your own agent pays off.
