What's in this guide
Overview
The Garden District is the newest expansion of Wildlight, the master-planned town in Yulee, Nassau County. It builds on Wildlight town-in-nature vision with 4,700 acres, including 2,000 acres of conservation, a 19-mile trail network, and a public access point to the 13-mile Green Ribbon Trail along the St. Marys River.
Initial builders are Toll Brothers, Perry Homes, David Weekley Homes, and Ashton Woods. The first neighborhood, Bellflower, pre-sells in 2026 with Toll Brothers and Perry on 50, 60, and 70-foot lots; Woodlyn (David Weekley) and Mayfield (Ashton Woods) follow. Full build-out is planned for about 4,100 homes, generally from the $300,000s into the $700,000s and up.

Why Buy Early at a New Community
In a new community, the first release is often the best time to buy.
Best lot selection
Preserve, water, and premium homesites are limited and go first. Early buyers get the pick of the plan.
Early-phase pricing
Builders frequently raise base prices as a community proves out, so the earliest buyers can see appreciation by the time later phases open.
Stronger incentives
To build momentum, builders often put their best incentives, on rate, closing costs, or design credits, on the table early.
Representation matters most up front
The on-site representative works for the builder. Having your own agent from the first visit protects your ability to negotiate and to compare fairly, usually at no cost to the buyer in new construction.
