The Complete Granary Park Guide. (2026)

Executive Summary

Granary Park is a GreenPointe master-planned community built by Lennar in the Lake Asbury area of Green Cove Springs, Clay County. It covers 290 acres with 770 single-family homesites along Sandridge Road, on the site of a former dairy farm whose two original grain silos have been repurposed at the entrance and the amenity center, giving the community a distinctive sense of place. It is actively selling, with three decorated models and ongoing releases, near the new First Coast Expressway.

Lennar is the exclusive builder, offering 12 one- and two-story floor plans across three collections, the 40s, 50s, and 60s, roughly 1,660 to more than 3,000 square feet in three to five bedrooms. Pricing has started around the high $290,000s and low $300,000s and runs into the $450,000s for the larger plans, which is roughly 10 percent below the area average. Lennar builds with its Everything’s Included approach, folding many features into the base price.

Life at Granary Park centers on the Meeting House amenity center, with a resort-inspired clubhouse, an oasis-style pool, a club-quality fitness studio, a play park, and a dog park, with the 90-acre Ronnie Van Zant Memorial Park nearby. The community carries a CDD assessment plus HOA dues, and it is served by the Clay County School District with A-rated schools. This guide covers the homes, the pricing, the collections, the CDD and HOA, the schools, the location, and the honest trade-offs of buying new, including why you bring your own agent to the builder.

Quick Facts

Community Overview & History

A GreenPointe master plan on a former dairy farm

Granary Park is a 290-acre, 770-home master-planned community developed by GreenPointe Developers, the Jacksonville firm behind Tributary in Nassau County, TrailMark in St. Johns County, and Hyland Trail nearby in Green Cove Springs. The land that is now Granary Park was originally a dairy farm, and GreenPointe’s design honors that heritage by repurposing two of the original grain silos, one at the community entrance and one at the Meeting House amenity center. That detail gives Granary Park a distinctive sense of place that a typical new subdivision does not have.

Lennar as the exclusive builder

GreenPointe selected Lennar as the exclusive builder at Granary Park, which means a single builder and a streamlined buying experience rather than a multi-builder community. Lennar offers 12 one- and two-story floor plans across three collections, with three decorated models anchoring the community. The community has been actively selling and releasing homesites in phases, so buyers are getting in fairly early in its build-out.

The Lake Asbury location

Granary Park sits in the Lake Asbury area of Green Cove Springs, along Sandridge Road, in one of Clay County’s fastest-growing corridors. The location leans on the new First Coast Expressway for access to Oakleaf Town Center, Naval Air Station Jacksonville, Cecil Commerce Center, and downtown Jacksonville, and the 90-acre Ronnie Van Zant Memorial Park, with its disc golf, sport fields, nature trails, and fishing piers, is a nearby recreation anchor. The St. Johns River and the historic Green Cove Springs downtown are close by.

Homes & Floor Plans

Granary Park is built entirely by Lennar, so the decision centers on the collection, the floor plan, the homesite, and whether you choose an inventory home or a future release.

The three collections

Lennar offers Granary Park in three collections defined by lot width. The 40s feature seven single-family designs from about 1,663 to 2,089 square feet in three to four bedrooms, at the lower entry price. The 50s feature seven designs from about 1,703 to 2,360 square feet in three to five bedrooms. The 60s include the largest home designs, reaching into the 3,000-square-foot range. All are one- or two-story with two-bay garages, which lets a buyer choose by size and budget within one community.

Everything’s Included

Lennar builds Granary Park with its Everything’s Included approach, which folds features that other builders treat as upgrades, such as appliances, smart-home technology, and finish packages, into the base price. That makes pricing more transparent and the upgrade negotiation smaller, though it also means the base price, the lot premium, and the incentive package are the main levers, which is where representation helps.

Pricing context

Granary Park has priced from around the high $290,000s and low $300,000s, running into the $450,000s for the larger plans and premium homesites, which has been roughly 10 percent below the area average. The 40s carry the lower entry price, the 50s sit in the middle, and the 60s reach the top of the range. Confirm current pricing, available inventory homes, and upcoming releases directly with Lennar, since a building community’s pricing and inventory move quickly.

The Market & Pricing

Granary Park’s pitch is a full-amenity GreenPointe master plan at an attainable Lennar price, with a distinctive dairy-farm heritage. Homes have priced from around the high $290,000s into the $450,000s. Confirm current pricing directly with Lennar, since the numbers move with phase and incentive.

The appeal is value plus a real amenity package. Roughly 10 percent below the area average, with the Meeting House clubhouse, the oasis-style pool, and the fitness studio included in the community, Granary Park competes directly with the other Green Cove Springs corridor communities and undercuts most St. Johns County new construction. The trade is the CDD assessment that funds those amenities and the further-out location. Lennar’s Everything’s Included pricing reduces upgrade surprises, and builder incentives such as rate buydowns and closing-cost help are common, so it pays to ask.

For context, Momentum tracks the wider Jacksonville metro at a 97.98 percent sold-to-list ratio and 64 days on market for our agents, against a RealMLS market average closer to 96.73 percent and 72 days, year to date. In a builder community like Granary Park, base pricing, incentives, and homesite selection matter more than resale comps, which is where an agent who knows the community and Lennar’s pricing pays off.

Who Lives Here

Granary Park draws value-focused buyers who want a new home with a full amenity package at an attainable price. The mix skews toward first-time and move-up buyers, families drawn by the resort amenities and the A-rated Clay County schools, military and NAS Jacksonville households who value the expressway access, and remote workers who want a newer home without a St. Johns County price.

Many are relocating within the metro to stretch their budget further than Duval or St. Johns allow, or moving in for a job near Orange Park, Cecil Commerce Center, or NAS Jacksonville. The three collections, the dairy-farm character, and the Lake Asbury location give Granary Park a clear profile among Green Cove Springs new construction as the corridor fills in.

Schools

Granary Park is served by the Clay County School District and has been marketed as zoned for A-rated schools. Specific elementary, middle, and high school assignments depend on the address and on Clay County’s attendance boundaries, which shift as the Green Cove Springs and Lake Asbury area grows and the district adds capacity. Families should confirm the exact current zoned schools for a specific Granary Park address with the district.

Clay County also offers school-choice options beyond the zoned assignment. Buyers prioritizing a specific school should verify both the zoned assignment for the address and the current choice options with the Clay County School District before relying on any particular placement.

Amenities & Lifestyle

Granary Park’s lifestyle is built around the Meeting House amenity center and the dairy-farm heritage, with regional parks close by.

The Meeting House

The community centers on the Meeting House amenity center, with a resort-inspired clubhouse for gatherings, an oasis-style pool with deck space, and a club-quality fitness studio, plus an expansive play park for children and a dog park. For a community priced from the $300,000s, that amenity package is fuller than many comparable new neighborhoods, and it is part of what the CDD funds.

The grain silos

Granary Park’s defining feature is its history. The land was a dairy farm, and two of the original grain silos have been repurposed, one at the entrance and one at the amenity center, as a nod to the heritage of the property. That detail gives the community a character and a story that a standard new subdivision lacks, and it is a frequent talking point for buyers.

Parks and the river

Just outside the community, the 90-acre Ronnie Van Zant Memorial Park offers a disc golf course, sport fields, nature trails, and fishing piers, and the St. Johns River and historic Green Cove Springs downtown, with its spring-fed Spring Park pool, are close by. For buyers who want outdoor recreation and a small-town riverfront setting alongside the community amenities, the Lake Asbury location delivers it.

HOA & CDD

Granary Park carries the fee structure typical of a GreenPointe master plan with a full amenity package, and it is worth understanding before you commit.

There is a CDD. Like GreenPointe’s other communities, Granary Park is served by a Community Development District, which funds and maintains the roads, the Meeting House amenities, and the rest of the infrastructure through an assessment on the property tax bill. Confirm the exact current CDD figure for a specific homesite, since it varies by lot and phase and changes as bonds are paid down.

There is also an HOA. On top of the CDD, Granary Park carries homeowners association dues that cover the common areas and association functions. Confirm the current HOA amount and what it includes.

What the fees buy is the amenity package, the clubhouse, the pool, the fitness studio, the parks, and the maintained infrastructure, with the CDD assessment paying back the infrastructure over time. For buyers comparing Granary Park with a no-CDD community like Terrapin Creek in North Jacksonville, the question is whether the full amenity package and the Lake Asbury location are worth the higher recurring cost. For buyers who want amenities at this price, they often are.

Model the true all-in monthly. Even with Lennar’s Everything’s Included pricing, the mortgage, the CDD assessment, the HOA dues, and the post-first-year property-tax reset on a new build all factor in. A good agent will help you build the real all-in monthly for a specific Granary Park homesite before you commit.

Commute Analysis

Granary Park’s Lake Asbury location leans on the new First Coast Expressway to reach the wider metro.

Granary Park sits near the First Coast Expressway, which is being built and opened in segments to connect Clay, Duval, and St. Johns counties. As more of the expressway opens, the drives to Oakleaf, NAS Jacksonville, Cecil Commerce Center, and the wider Jacksonville metro shorten, which is central to the appeal of the Lake Asbury corridor. For buyers who work in Clay County, at NAS Jacksonville, or remotely, the location works today and improves as the expressway completes, targeted around 2030. The honest trade-off is that Green Cove Springs is further out, so the commute to the Southside job centers and the beaches is longer than from communities closer to the core.

Shopping & Dining

Granary Park’s everyday shopping and dining run along the US-17 corridor in Green Cove Springs and toward Fleming Island and Orange Park, with grocery stores, big-box retail, and restaurants. Green Cove Springs has a historic downtown with local eateries and shops, and the Oakleaf Town Center to the north adds a larger retail and dining hub within a drive.

For destination shopping, the St. Johns Town Center on the Jacksonville Southside is the area’s largest center, a longer drive that the expressway is helping shorten. For day-to-day life, the Green Cove Springs, Fleming Island, and Orange Park corridors cover most needs, and the retail base is growing as the area develops.

Pros and Cons

Granary Park vs. Comparable Communities

Most buyers weighing Granary Park are comparing it with other Green Cove Springs and value-focused new communities. Here is the honest shorthand.

Hidden Things Buyers Should Know

A few things that consistently come up once buyers get serious about a value-focused GreenPointe community like Granary Park.

The CDD funds the amenities

The full Meeting House amenity package is part of why Granary Park carries a CDD assessment. That is the trade for the clubhouse, the pool, and the fitness studio. Get the specific CDD figure for a homesite and add it to the mortgage and HOA before you decide, because the all-in monthly is what you actually live with.

The collections are different buys

The 40s, 50s, and 60s sit at different price points on different lot widths, from the compact 40s up to the largest 60s plans. Decide which collection fits before you fall for a specific model, because the lot width drives both the price and the feel of the home and yard.

The silos are a real differentiator

The repurposed grain silos and the dairy-farm story give Granary Park a sense of place that most new subdivisions lack, which can matter for resale appeal down the road. It is a small thing that sets the community apart in a corridor full of new construction.

Register your agent before you visit

Lennar’s sales team works for Lennar. Many builders will not let you add representation after you register on your own, so bring your agent in before your first model visit, at no cost to you in most cases since the builder pays the buyer-agent commission.
