Horton as a primary builder. It is best known for Camp Heritage, a summer-camp-themed amenity center with a 184-foot three-story slide, set amid conservation land in the top-rated St. Johns schools.
Homes are a diverse collection of single and two-story designs on 40- to 80-foot lots, roughly 1,470 to 3,592 square feet, and neighbors describe the community as reasonably priced. Most streets end in cul-de-sacs to reduce through traffic.

Community Overview & History
An award-winning family community
Heritage Landing broke ground in 2003 and saw its 1,154th home completed around 2014, an award-winning development among the World Golf Village communities of northwest St. Johns County. It is surrounded on its eastern and western boundaries by preserved conservation land, with river views along CR-13 on the approach.
Designed with families in mind
Most streets in Heritage Landing end in cul-de-sacs overlooking woodlands, lakes, or open spaces, so each small cluster of homes avoids through traffic and gives children a safer place to play. A small gated area known as Trout Creek sits at the back of the community.
Homes & Lot Sizes
Heritage Landing offers a wide range of homes, and the lot size and home age define the purchase.
A range of lot widths
Homes sit on 40-, 50-, 60-, 70-, and 80-foot lots, from smaller attainable homes to larger family homes.
Single and two-story designs
A diverse collection of floor plans roughly 1,470 to 3,592 square feet, varied by the decade-long build-out.
Trout Creek
A small gated enclave at the back of the community adds a more private option.
Real Estate Market
Heritage Landing is an established community now trading on the resale market, and neighbors describe it as reasonably priced for the area. Pricing depends on the home, the lot size, the age, and the view, with homes ranging roughly from 1,470 to 3,592 square feet. The Camp Heritage amenities, the cul-de-sac design, and the St. Johns schools support steady demand at attainable prices.
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 a decade-long build-out, pricing to the specific home and age is essential.
Who Lives Here
Heritage Landing has about 2,167 residents and draws families and retirees who want a quieter, amenity-rich community at an attainable price in the top-rated St. Johns schools. Neighbors describe it as clean, family friendly, peaceful, and well maintained, with an active social calendar at Camp Heritage.
Schools
Heritage Landing is zoned for Wards Creek Elementary, Pacetti Bay Middle School, and Tocoi Creek High School, all in the top-rated St. Johns County School District. Confirm the current zoning for a specific address with the district, since zoning can change. See the St. Johns County schools guide.
Amenities & Lifestyle
Camp Heritage is one of the most distinctive amenity centers in the area.
The pools and the slide
Camp Heritage features a 184-foot, three-story pool slide, a recreational pool, a heated lap pool, and beach-style entries with manatee and alligator sculptures for the little ones.
Sports and fitness
Sports facilities, a full fitness complex, playgrounds, and tennis courts round out the recreation, with a Florida cracker-style multi-use ballroom.
A year-round calendar
A full slate of events and programs runs all year, including open-air movie screenings at the fire ring.
HOA, CDD & Costs
Heritage Landing carries both an HOA and a CDD, which is common in Florida's large master-planned communities with large-scale amenities. The CDD maintains the common property, including the clubhouse, the lakes, and the common areas, and appears on the annual tax bill. Confirm the current HOA dues and the CDD amount for a specific home in writing and model both into the all-in monthly cost.
Insurance is the other cost to confirm. Roof age matters on homes now 10 to 20 years old, and the inland World Golf Village-area 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 the home's age
A decade-long build-out means roofs and finishes vary. Confirm the age and condition of a specific home, since it drives value and insurance.
Model the CDD
Heritage Landing carries both an HOA and a CDD. Build the all-in carrying cost before you fall for a floor plan.
Confirm the school zoning
Zoning has shifted in fast-growing St. Johns. Verify the current Wards Creek, Pacetti Bay, and Tocoi Creek assignment for a specific address.
Momentum Expert Insight
Heritage Landing gives families a lot for the money, the Camp Heritage slide is a genuine draw, and the cul-de-sac design makes it feel quieter than its size. It is one of the more attainable ways into a top St. Johns school zone.
Because it built over a decade, the home you choose matters as much as the community, so check the roof age and the updates, and model the HOA plus the CDD. A St. Johns specialist will compare it against Samara Lakes and Murabella for you.
