Executive Summary
Greenleaf Village is an established neighborhood within Nocatee, on the western edge near US-1, with about 575 single-family homes built between 2011 and 2015 by David Weekley, Mattamy, Providence, and Ryland. It pairs the family amenities and trails of one of America's best-selling master-planned communities with the Valley Ridge Academy K-8 right at the entrance, in the top-rated St. Johns County schools.
As an established Nocatee neighborhood now trading on the resale market, Greenleaf Village offers a more attainable entry than the newest Nocatee sections, with homes ranging roughly from 1,600 to 4,300 square feet. Pricing reflects the floor plan, the lot, and the view.
The draw is the full Nocatee lifestyle with a school at the door at a value entry. The trade-offs are the CDD and HOA costs and homes that often back to one another.

Community Overview & History
One of three Greenleaf communities
Greenleaf Village is one of three Greenleaf neighborhoods in Nocatee, alongside Greenleaf Lakes and Greenleaf Preserve. Built from 2011 to 2015, it is one of the larger Greenleaf communities with about 575 homes, and it shares the 10-acre Greenleaf Park with its sister neighborhoods.
Western Nocatee, a school at the entrance
The neighborhood sits on the north side of Coastal Ridge Boulevard on the western edge of Nocatee near US-1, with Valley Ridge Academy, Nocatee's first school, right at the entrance. Many students walk, bike, or take a short golf-cart ride to school, a setup families prize.
Neighborhoods & Areas
Greenleaf Village is a single neighborhood, but the builder and the homesite vary.
Four builders
David Weekley, Mattamy, Providence, and Ryland built here across several years, so plans and finishes vary across the 575 homes.
Preserve-view homesites
Some homes back to a preserve for added privacy, while many back to one another, so the lot matters.
Greenleaf Park at the center
The shared 10-acre park anchors the Greenleaf neighborhoods with recreation for residents.
Real Estate Market
Greenleaf Village is an established Nocatee neighborhood now trading on the resale market, which tends to make it a more attainable entry into Nocatee than the newest sections. Homes range roughly from 1,600 to 4,300 square feet, and pricing reflects the builder, the floor plan, the lot, and the view. Demand stays steady because of the Nocatee amenities, the trails, and the Valley Ridge Academy at the entrance.
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 community with four builders, pricing to the specific home and plan is essential.
Who Lives Here
Greenleaf Village draws families who want the Nocatee lifestyle and the Valley Ridge Academy K-8 at the door, along with professionals and move-up buyers who value an established neighborhood at a more attainable Nocatee price. It is a family-centered community in top-rated St. Johns schools.
Schools
Greenleaf Village is zoned for Valley Ridge Academy, a K-8 school at the entrance to the community, and Nease High School, all in the top-rated St. Johns County School District. Confirm the current zoning for a specific address with the district. See the St. Johns County schools guide.
Amenities & Lifestyle
Greenleaf Village combines its own park with the full Nocatee amenity set.
Greenleaf Park
The shared 10-acre park offers the Trails for Tails dog park, a playground, ball fields, and a pavilion for events.
Nocatee amenities
Residents enjoy the Splash Water Park with its lazy river, slide, and zipline, a fitness center, tennis, and the Nocatee greenway trails.
Trails to the Town Center
Paved trails connect the Greenleaf neighborhoods to the Nocatee Town Center for biking, walking, and golf-cart trips.
HOA, CDD & Costs
Greenleaf Village, like the rest of Nocatee, carries a CDD that funds the community infrastructure and amenities and appears on the annual tax bill, plus HOA dues. Confirm the current CDD amount and the HOA dues for a specific home in writing and model them into the all-in monthly cost, since the CDD raises the effective tax rate above the base millage.
Insurance is the other cost to confirm. Homes here are now 10 to 15 years old, so roof age matters, and the inland Nocatee location generally carries less coastal exposure than the beaches. Confirm the roof age, the flood zone, and get quotes early for any specific home.

Hidden Things Buyers Should Know
Know your builder
Four builders worked here, so a David Weekley and a Mattamy home can differ in layout and finish. Confirm which builder and plan you are buying.
Check the lot
Many homes back to one another, while some back to a preserve. The lot drives privacy and a measurable part of the value.
Model the CDD
The Nocatee CDD raises the effective tax rate. Build it into your budget before you fall for a floor plan.
Momentum Expert Insight
Greenleaf Village is one of the smartest value plays in Nocatee. You get the same Splash Water Park, trails, and St. Johns schools as the newest sections, with a K-8 at the entrance, often at a more attainable resale price.
