Jon's Current Read
"Oxford Estates is a gated, larger-home play in the top-rated St. Johns district, so the read is about the lot, condition, and carrying cost, not amenities. Privacy and the district drive demand in a smaller, lower-turnover community. Confirm the HOA and any CDD, then price condition against the lot."
Jon Brooks, founder, Momentum Realty · Updated June 2026
The 60-Second Overview
Oxford Estates market snapshot (as of June 14, 2026): the median sale price is about $739K ($241 per sq ft), with homes averaging 36 days on market and 3.0 months of supply, a seller's market. Values are down 3% over the past year and up 60% since 2015, based on 20 recent closings in live realMLS data.
Oxford Estates is a smaller, gated community of larger single-family homes in the Fruit Cove area of northwest St. Johns County, built largely in the 2010s. It offers a quieter, lower-density alternative to the big master plans nearby, with four and five-bedroom homes on generous lots, many backing to preserve or water.
The community sits inside the top-rated St. Johns County school district, minutes from San Jose Boulevard, Race Track Road, and the shopping at nearby Durbin Park, with quick access to I-295 and the Buckman Bridge toward Jacksonville.
The appeal is privacy, larger homes, and a gated address in the district rather than a deep amenity package. Condition, the lot, and the all-in monthly with any CDD drive value on any specific home.

Tight supply and strong demand favor sellers here. Homes still take about two months to sell, though, and with asking prices running above recent sales per square foot, a prepared buyer has room on anything overpriced. Reading each home against the real comps, not the headline trend, is where the edge is.

The Homes & Style
Oxford Estates is a smaller, gated community of larger single-family homes in the Fruit Cove area of northwest St. Johns County. The homes lean toward four and five-bedroom layouts on generous lots, many backing to preserve or water, with the build quality and floor plans of the 2010s. Because it is a smaller, mostly built-out community, the practical question is which lot and home fit, not which builder is selling.
The appeal here is a quieter, lower-density gated address inside the top-rated St. Johns district, with larger homes than the big-volume master plans nearby. Preserve and water lots carry premiums and resell better than interior homesites, and condition and the lot drive value.
Living Here
Daily life at Oxford Estates is quiet and residential, with a gated entry and a low-key, larger-lot feel. The community sits in the Fruit Cove and Switzerland corridor of northwest St. Johns, minutes from San Jose Boulevard, Race Track Road, and the shopping and dining at nearby Durbin Park and along the Mandarin corridor.
The draw is the top-rated St. Johns County school district, quick access to I-295 and the Buckman Bridge, and a more private, established setting than the newest master plans. The St. Johns River, Julington Creek, and the area's parks are close for outdoor recreation.
Before You Offer
Confirm the HOA and any CDD for the specific home, and compute the all-in monthly. Smaller gated St. Johns communities can carry an HOA for the gate and grounds and, in some cases, a CDD assessment on the tax bill, so verify both before you judge a list price.
Confirm the lot. With preserve, water, and interior homesites, verify the lot position, the flood map for any water-adjacent parcel, and the privacy and view you are paying for.
Inspect roof, HVAC, and systems on 2010s homes, and weigh any remaining new construction against a move-in-ready resale.
Confirm school assignment by address with the district, since St. Johns zoning shifts as new schools open, and verify the Buckman Bridge commute at your real departure time.
Oxford Estates vs. Comparable St. Johns Communities
Oxford Estates competes with the other gated and larger-home communities of the Fruit Cove and Switzerland area. Against the big master plans like Julington Creek Plantation and Durbin Crossing, it offers a smaller, lower-density, gated address with larger homes, while those communities counter with deep amenity packages and more liquidity.
Against Aberdeen and the value-oriented plans, Oxford Estates trades a full amenity center for privacy, larger lots, and a gated feel in the same top-rated district. The honest shorthand: pick Oxford Estates for a quieter, gated, larger-home address in the district; pick a master plan for amenities and turnover.
Who Oxford Estates Fits Best
Oxford Estates fits buyers who want a gated, lower-density address with larger homes and top-rated St. Johns schools, anyone who prefers privacy and a quieter community over a big amenity master plan, and buyers who value preserve or water lots near the Buckman Bridge.
Oxford Estates is a weaker fit for buyers who want a deep amenity center and high liquidity, those who want no fees and the lowest carrying cost, or anyone seeking new construction or a walkable, urban setting.

15-Second Take
Renovation math decides the deal
Better lots and views resell strongest
Roof and HVAC age drive the insurance quote
Interior lots are where buyers overpay
Proprietary Data
The renovation premium.
Renovated-listing inventory in Oxford Estates is too thin right now to compute a reliable renovation premium. We read condition home by home against real comps before you offer.
Lot Value
The lot premium.
On a preferred homesite (water, preserve, corner, or a larger lot), the homesite is the part of your money the market gives back at resale. The house can be renovated; the lot cannot, so premium lots hold their value better than interior ones. How much more they command varies by frontage, view, and condition, which is why we read it home by home against real comparable sales rather than a single headline figure.
Operator Note
Most buyers overpay on interior lots in the back half of the community. A sharp renovation can distract you, but the weaker resale position follows the lot, not the finishes. We read the homesite before the kitchen.

5 Mistakes Buyers Make in Oxford Estates
15-Second Take
Calling the listing agent (who works for the seller)
Misjudging the renovation budget
Overpaying for an interior lot
Underbudgeting the carrying costs
Skipping the roof, HVAC, and systems check
The same five mistakes cost buyers the most in any market. Every one is avoidable with the right preparation before you tour.
1
Calling the listing agent
The agent on the sign works for the seller. In a market where condition swings price by hundreds of thousands, negotiating against that agent with no one in your corner is the costliest move of all.
2
Misjudging the renovation math
A dated home looks like a deal until you price the roof, HVAC, pool, and full modernization honestly. Underbudget the reno and the bargain becomes the expensive house.
3
Overpaying for an interior lot
A premium homesite (water, preserve, or a preferred position) carries a real, durable premium. Pay a top price for an interior lot and you are buying the weakest version of the value.
4
Underbudgeting the carrying costs
Two similar homes can cost very differently to own once the HOA, any CDD, insurance, and upkeep are priced in. Buyers who do not run the full monthly carrying cost misread the real number.
5
Skipping the systems check
An older home means older systems unless updated. Roof age, HVAC age, pool equipment, and prior renovations drive both price and insurability, and a thorough inspection matters more here than in a new build.
“
Schools and the gate are priced in. The deal is won on the lot, the condition, and the all-in monthly.

Larger lots add privacy and premium
Read the lot and any CDD before the finishes
In a gated, larger-home community the lot is the durable part of your money. Preserve buffers, water views, and quiet, private lots command and hold a premium over interior homesites. Read the lot, the view, the flood map, and any CDD level first, then price the home's condition against it.

HOA, CDD & Fees
15-Second Take
HOA for the gate and common areas
Possible CDD on the tax bill, confirm
Larger homes on generous lots
The amenity is privacy and the district
Read the all-in monthly, not just the list price
Oxford Estates carries an HOA covering the gate and common areas, and some St. Johns communities of this type carry a CDD assessment on the tax bill. Confirm the HOA dues and any CDD balance and remaining term for the specific home.
The HOA funds the gate and common-area maintenance. Where a CDD exists, it funds the roads and amenities and is paid through the tax bill.
There is no country club. The amenity is the gated, larger-lot setting, preserve and water lots, and proximity to Julington Creek and area parks.

In Oxford Estates, condition and view decide your number
Because buyers here are weighing your home against renovated comps and cross-shopping Fruit Cove, a home priced to the community average instead of its true condition and view either leaves money on the table or sits. A renovated kitchen, newer roof and HVAC, and a golf or lake view all deserve to show up in your price, and a buyer pool reading renovation math needs to be shown why your home is worth it. We build that case with real comps and a pricing strategy for the current market.

Frequently Asked Questions
Market position, and the rhythm of the place
Predominantly buyers, the school track does the sorting, with a mix of professionals, military, and medical households, plus some move-down buyers who wanted land without acreage maintenance. The rhythm is quiet: the pool and playground hum on weekends, the dog park has its regulars, and the gate keeps cut-through traffic at zero. There is no club calendar or lifestyle director; the social life is neighbor-driven, and most buyers plug into school, sports-complex, and church communities outside the gate. If you want programmed resort living, this is the wrong product, deliberately.
Natural gas, irrigation meters, and the utility picture
Oxford Estates was marketed as a natural-gas community, gas ranges, water heaters, and often gas dryer hookups, which many buyers prefer and which modestly trims electric bills. Many homes also carry separate irrigation meters, so lawn watering is not billed at the sewer rate, a quiet saver on quarter-acre lots with real turf. Water and sewer are county utility service, not a private utility saga. We verify the specific home's utility setup, well-fed versus metered irrigation, gas appliance inventory, during diligence.
Insurance, flood, and storm exposure
Inland St. Johns County is one of the friendlier insurance addresses in coastal Florida: no barrier-island wind territory, and 2014-2020s construction means modern codes, newer roofs, and clean four-point inspections, all of which carriers reward. Pond-backing lots can still touch mapped flood zones at the margins, so we pull the FEMA panel for the specific parcel and get a real quote during the inspection window. Relative to the oceanfront and Intracoastal communities we also cover, the carrying-cost surprise risk here is low, which compounds the no-CDD story.
HOA rules, rentals, and the estoppel
The HOA is a standard single-tier association: architectural review for exterior changes (pools, fences, paint), community-standard maintenance expectations, and the common-area budget. We have not seen Oxford Estates marketed as a rental-restricted community, but lease terms, approval requirements, and any amendment history are exactly the kind of thing that changes by vote, so we order the full governing documents and estoppel on every purchase and read them before your contingency expires, not after.
Where is Oxford Estates located?
Oxford Estates is off Longleaf Pine Parkway, north of Greenbriar Road, in St. Johns, Florida (ZIP 32259), the Fruit Cove area of northwest St. Johns County. It sits minutes from Julington Creek Plantation's commercial corridor, roughly 10-15 minutes from the Pavilion at Durbin Park, and about 30-35 minutes from downtown Jacksonville.
Does Oxford Estates have a CDD fee?
No. Oxford Estates has no community development district and no CDD assessment on the tax bill, which is its defining feature in a corridor where Julington Creek Plantation (~$1,385/yr), Durbin Crossing (~$947-$1,708/yr O&M plus debt service), and Beachwalk (up to nearly $4,000/yr plus club dues) all carry district assessments. We still verify the prior-year tax bill on every purchase rather than taking any listing's word for it.
What are the HOA fees in Oxford Estates?
Third-party sources have cited Oxford Estates HOA dues around $1,124 per year, low for a gated St. Johns community, covering the gate, community pool, gazebo, dog park, playgrounds, and common areas. Dues change with annual budgets, so we confirm the exact current amount and inclusions in writing with the association before you offer.
Is Oxford Estates gated?
Yes, with an electronic entry gate off Longleaf Pine Parkway, not a 24/7 staffed gatehouse. It is a genuine traffic filter that keeps the streets to residents and guests, but buyers should not price it as a manned security service. Confirm current gate operation and visitor procedures with the HOA.
Who built the homes in Oxford Estates?
MasterCraft Builder Group developed the community and opened Phase 1 sales in June 2014, with Phase 2 following in late 2015; Providence Homes and David Weekley Homes also built here, and Drees Homes built a later section that is now sold out. The newest section is David Weekley's Oxford Estates II / Designer Series on Oxbridge Way, with roughly 2,800-3,140 sq ft single-family homes.
Is Oxford Estates II townhomes or single-family homes?
Single-family. Despite a townhome label on one listing aggregator, Oxford Estates II - Designer Series by David Weekley consists of single-family homes of roughly 2,800-3,140 square feet with four to five bedrooms and three-car garages on 73- to 83-foot homesites, with published new pricing that ran from the high $600s to high $800s. Availability has been winding down; we confirm current status directly with Weekley.
How big are the lots in Oxford Estates?
The original MasterCraft phases were marketed as quarter-acre homesites with a minimum of roughly 83 feet of width by 130 feet of depth, with many lots backing to ponds or preserve, large enough to add a pool, which was a deliberate selling point. The newer Weekley section sits on 73- to 83-foot homesites. Exact dimensions vary by lot, so we pull the plat and survey on any home you are considering.
What do homes in Oxford Estates cost?
Recent closed sales have run from about $700,000-$750,000 for earlier-phase homes to higher for larger, newer, and pool homes, with current asking prices roughly $758,000 to over $1.1 million and per-square-foot reads around $225-$250. The community is small, so a handful of sales can swing the apparent median; we price from phase-, builder-, and lot-matched comps.
What schools serve Oxford Estates?
Oxford Estates is zoned to Cunningham Creek Elementary (GreatSchools 7/10), Switzerland Point Middle (10/10), and Bartram Trail High (7/10) in St. Johns County, consistently rated Florida's top county school district. Zoning is by address and the county redraws attendance lines as it grows, so confirm with the district for the specific home before relying on it.
What amenities does Oxford Estates have?
A community swimming pool with a gazebo, a dog park, playgrounds, a fire pit, walking trails, and ponds. It is a deliberately modest package, no fitness center, waterpark, or tennis complex, which is exactly why there is no CDD and the HOA stays near $1,100 a year. Buyers who want resort amenities should look at Julington Creek Plantation or Beachwalk and budget for their fee stacks.
How much does the no-CDD structure actually save?
Over a 10-year hold at current rates, roughly $13,900 versus Julington Creek Plantation's single-family CDD assessment, roughly $17,000+ versus Durbin Crossing's large-lot O&M alone (before bond debt service), and potentially $60,000+ versus a Beachwalk estate home's CDD plus mandatory club dues. The honest caveat: those communities deliver amenities Oxford Estates does not, and Oxford's pricing partially capitalizes the advantage, so the math depends on what you would actually use.
Is Oxford Estates still building new homes?
The community is essentially built out. Drees' section is listed as sold out, and David Weekley's Oxford Estates II / Designer Series has been selling its final homes, with aggregators showing conflicting sold-out versus selling status. If new construction matters to you, we confirm remaining availability directly with David Weekley rather than trusting portal status flags; otherwise, this is now primarily a resale market, which protects existing owners from builder-incentive competition.
Is Oxford Estates in a flood zone?
The community is inland, away from the St. Johns River bank and the coast, and most lots are not in high-risk flood zones, but pond-backing lots can touch mapped zones at the margins. We pull the FEMA panel for the specific parcel and get a real insurance quote during the inspection window. Inland St. Johns 2014-2020s construction generally enjoys some of the friendlier insurance math in coastal Florida.
How does Oxford Estates compare to Julington Creek Plantation?
Same schools-and-Fruit-Cove draw, opposite structures. Julington Creek offers two waterpark-grade amenity complexes, golf, and deep inventory, funded by a ~$1,385/yr CDD plus HOA, on generally smaller lots with no gate. Oxford Estates offers quarter-acre-class lots, a gate, and roughly $14,000 less in district assessments over a decade, with a fraction of the amenities. The right answer depends entirely on whether your household would use the amenity centers.
How does Oxford Estates compare to Julington Lakes?
They are the two no-CDD gated plays in the corridor. Julington Lakes (Toll Brothers) offers a stronger amenity package, the Lakehouse with fitness center, pool, courts, and a kayak launch on Lake Julington, plus a part-day attended gate, at HOA dues around $577 per quarter, roughly double Oxford Estates' cited carry. Oxford Estates counters with larger quarter-acre-class lots and the lower fee. Both avoid the district assessment entirely; the choice is land versus amenities.
Do I need my own agent to buy in Oxford Estates?
Yes. The listing agent works for the seller, and in a five-to-ten-sale-a-year community, pricing discipline is everything. Your own agent verifies the HOA and tax-bill story in writing, pulls true phase- and lot-matched comps, reads the governing documents, walks the plat for the lot backing, and negotiates from the 10-year carry math.
