Riverwoods, also known locally as Riverwoods at St. Johns Landing, is an established, deed-restricted single-family community of roughly 255 homes in the Arlington to Fort Caroline area of Jacksonville, in Duval County. The Riverwoods Homeowners Association has been active since 1985 and requires Architectural Review Board approval for exterior and landscape changes, which is typical of a mature deed-restricted community.
realMLS (Northeast Florida) sales records identify 148 homes in Riverwoods that have changed hands since 2001, built between 1985 and 1993 (median 1988), with a median living area of about 1,648 sq ft and a typical 3-bedroom, 2-bath layout; 99% are single-family homes. Source: realMLS (Northeast Florida) closed-sale history compiled by Momentum Research; counts reflect homes with a recorded MLS sale, not every home in the community.
County records show 16 qualified sales in Riverwoods across 2024–2025 (11 in 2024, 5 in 2025), median $370,000 — the last recorded sale per parcel on the Florida DOR 2025 assessment roll, independent of the MLS.
Homes here were built across a long span, roughly 1983 to 2015, so construction era and updates vary from block to block rather than following a single builder timeline. Reported floor plans run roughly 1,180 to 2,580 square feet with 3 to 4 bedrooms. Because these are resale homes, each one trades on its own condition, updates, and lot rather than on a builder price sheet. A community park sits at the corner of Fulton Road and Ashley Manor Way, and the neighborhood is close to Fulton Road Landing, a public boat ramp on the St. Johns River, which draws interest from boating buyers.
The bigger picture is location. The community sits a few blocks south of the St. Johns River and roughly 6 miles west of Naval Station Mayport, in the broader Arlington to Fort Caroline corridor along Merrill Road and Fort Caroline Road. Nearby, similarly established HOA communities such as Charter Point sell into the same buyer pool, so comparable sales in the immediate area matter as much as citywide trends.
