Liberty Cove Homes for Sale in Yulee, FL

Liberty Cove delivers new D.R. Horton townhomes in three floor plans: the two-bedroom Bradford at about 1,167 sq ft, the three-bedroom Baxter at about 1,340 sq ft, and the three-bedroom Bailey at about 1,497 to 1,502 sq ft. All plans include 2.5 baths, an attached one-car garage, an open-concept main level, quartz countertops, and the Home Is Connected smart-home system for remote control of lights, locks, and temperature. Active listings in mid-2026 range from $281,440 for the Bradford to $311,455 for the Baxter, with recent closings from $270,000 to $303,490.

At this price point, builder incentives do more work than sticker-price negotiation. D.R. Horton frequently offers rate buydowns and closing-cost credits that can meaningfully cut the monthly payment; the negotiation happens there, not on the base price. An independent buyer's agent can negotiate that package on your behalf, and D.R. Horton typically covers the agent's compensation, so representation costs you nothing. Register your agent before your first sales-center visit, because the builder's representative works for the builder.

End units offer more natural light, greater privacy, and a larger side exposure. Interior units are more attainable and often carry stronger incentives. For most buyers, the value of a negotiated rate buydown on an interior unit exceeds the lifestyle premium of an end unit at a slightly higher base price, but run both as monthly payments before deciding.

Liberty Cove is a low-maintenance townhome community where the HOA typically handles exterior and common-area upkeep, so owners spend less time on maintenance. The lock-and-leave ease is a real feature for first-time buyers and busy households who want ownership without the lawn-and-exterior workload of a detached home.

The location is the other side of the value case. Off FL-200 minutes from I-95, Liberty Cove sits in the center of the Yulee growth corridor: Jacksonville International Airport is about 15 to 20 minutes, downtown Jacksonville about 20 to 30, and the Amelia Island beaches and historic Centre Street in Fernandina Beach about 20 minutes east. The Wildlight retail district and the existing Yulee commercial node handle groceries, dining, and daily errands nearby, with the Villages of Amelia retail center also close.

Nassau County School District ranked number one in Florida for 2024-2025 with every school A-rated. Liberty Cove is zoned for the Yulee-area campuses: Yulee Primary (K-2), Yulee Elementary (3-5), Yulee Middle (6-8), and Yulee High School (9-12). Confirm the current zoning for the specific address with the district before you buy.

On new construction, confirm the current HOA dues, what they cover, and whether any CDD applies for the specific home before signing the purchase agreement. The CDD, if any, will appear on the Nassau County tax bill and is not reduced by the homestead exemption. Confirm with D.R. Horton and get all fee figures in writing; do not rely on portal listings for HOA or CDD amounts.

Review the D.R. Horton warranty terms before signing: structural coverage, systems coverage, and the workmanship coverage all have different durations and claims processes. Understand what transfers to a resale buyer if you sell before the warranty expires, as transferability is a selling point worth preserving.

For homeowners insurance, confirm what the HOA master policy covers on the building exterior versus what you insure for your interior, contents, and liability. In a townhome community, the boundary between the master policy and your individual policy matters for both premiums and claims. Get a quote keyed to the specific unit before signing. Nassau County's effective property-tax rate is near 0.98 percent; budget the post-purchase assessed value reset when the Save Our Homes cap from the builder resets to your purchase price in the second year.

Liberty Cove competes in a narrow lane: new-construction, low-maintenance, entry-level Nassau County homeownership. The comparable communities break into two categories: other Yulee townhome options and Yulee single-family resale at higher prices.

Nassau Crossing is the nearest comparable townhome alternative in Yulee, with similar pricing and a comparable entry-level profile. River Glen and Amelia Walk are single-family communities in the Yulee corridor that start considerably higher and require a larger down payment, though they offer the private yard and detached-home format that some buyers need. Wildlight and Tributary offer resort-style amenities and new single-family construction but at prices and CDD assessments well above Liberty Cove's band. For a buyer who needs new construction, a low-maintenance format, and the Nassau County school district under $315,000, Liberty Cove is the most direct fit in the market.

Liberty Cove fits first-time buyers who want a new-construction warranty in the top-ranked Florida school district at the lowest available Nassau County entry price, households who prioritize low maintenance and the lock-and-leave lifestyle, and buyers who value proximity to I-95, Jacksonville International Airport, and the Amelia Island coast over a private yard. The attainable price, builder incentives, and number-one school district are the three-part case.

Liberty Cove is a weaker fit for buyers who need a detached single-family home with a private yard, those who require more than three bedrooms or more than about 1,500 sq ft at this price, and buyers who are sensitive to active construction activity while the community continues to deliver units. For those priorities, single-family resale in Yulee, Amelia Walk, or River Glen is the closer match, at higher prices.
