Seasons at Park Trace

Executive Summary

Seasons at Park Trace is an active Richmond American Homes community at Crossroads Station Drive near Lackawanna and Murray Hill, building paired duplex homes and townhomes, including the Rosewood and Sandalwood plans, with two-car garages since roughly 2023.

Pricing started from 286,997 dollars per Jome as of June 2026, which buys brand-new attached construction a few minutes from the Riverside and Avondale district, a combination that essentially does not exist elsewhere in this metro at that number.

There is an HOA, though the fee was not published by third-party sources at the time of writing, and CDD status was not documented either, so both belong on your verification list; note also that the MLS legal name often appears as plain Park Trace, which trips up listing searches.

Quick Facts

Community Overview & History

New construction inside the urban-core orbit

Almost all of the new attached construction in Jacksonville gets built on the far edges of the metro, where land is cheap and the commute is long. Seasons at Park Trace took the opposite bet: Richmond American put paired homes and townhomes near Lackawanna, on the seam between the working Westside and the Murray Hill and Riverside and Avondale districts, where the coffee shops, restaurants, and historic-neighborhood energy sit minutes away. You pay Westside money and borrow urban-core lifestyle, which is the entire pitch.

How it feels on the ground today

This is an active builder community, so expect models, construction activity, and a streetscape still filling in. The product is attached, paired duplex homes and townhomes rather than detached single-family, but the two-car garages soften the usual attached-living parking compromise. The immediate surroundings are transitional: the Lackawanna area is older working Westside, while Murray Hill a few minutes east has become one of the more sought-after small-business districts in the city, and the community sits between those two realities.

Plans and Product at Seasons at Park Trace

The community is one builder and one product family, so the decisions are plan, position, and incentive timing.

Paired duplex homes

Two homes sharing a single wall, which live closer to detached than a townhome row does; the Rosewood and Sandalwood plans anchor this product line.

Townhomes

The denser, lower-entry option in the community, still carrying the two-car garage that most attached product in this price band skips.

Phase position and lot selection

As an actively selling community, available homesites change monthly; buffer positions and parking-friendly spots are worth the walk before you pick from the site map.

Real Estate Market

Selling from 286,997 dollars per Jome as of June 2026; builder pricing and incentives move frequently, so treat that as a starting point and get the current price sheet and incentive terms in writing.

The value comparison runs two directions: against far-edge new construction at similar money but triple the commute to the urban core, and against Riverside and Avondale resales that cost more and come with century-old maintenance lists.

Because the MLS legal name often records as plain Park Trace, resale and comp searches can miss the community entirely; that quirk currently suppresses how visible early resales are, which matters for both pricing and discovery.

Who Lives Here

Seasons at Park Trace draws first-time buyers who want new construction without exiling themselves to the metro edge, urban-core workers and Riverside and Avondale fans priced out of the historic districts, and buyers who specifically value a warranty over a renovated bungalow.

Schools

Seasons at Park Trace is served by Duval County Public Schools, with attendance zones by home address, plus private and charter options nearby. Confirm the exact zoning for a Seasons at Park Trace address before you buy. Zoned schools for this community were not verified by third-party sources at publish time, so run the address through the district locator before you write an offer.

Amenities & Lifestyle

The community amenity package is modest; the real amenity is the address, with the Murray Hill and Riverside and Avondale districts minutes away.

Two-car garages

Standard on this product, which most attached communities at this price point do not offer.

Murray Hill district nearby

The Edgewood Avenue small-business strip, restaurants and coffee, sits a few minutes east.

Riverside and Avondale within reach

The historic shopping and dining districts, plus the riverfront parks, are a short drive.

New-construction warranty

The structural and systems warranty package is a real amenity against the century-old alternatives nearby; get the terms in writing.

HOA, CDD & Costs

There is an HOA, but the fee was not published by third-party sources at the time of writing; get the current dues, what they cover, and any capital contribution at closing directly from the builder in writing.

CDD status was not documented at publish time; ask the builder pointedly and have title verify the tax bill, because an assessment line changes the monthly math on an entry-price purchase.

On attached product, confirm exactly what the association maintains, roofs and exteriors versus owner responsibility, because that allocation defines your real cost of ownership more than the dues number alone.

Commute Analysis

Seasons at Park Trace sits near Lackawanna with I-10 minutes away, so downtown is roughly a ten-minute run, Riverside and Avondale about eight, and the westbound interstate puts the rest of the metro in reach quickly.

Shopping & Dining

Daily errands run on the nearby Westside corridors, the Murray Hill district covers coffee, restaurants, and small-business retail a few minutes east, and the full Riverside and Avondale shopping and dining scene is about eight minutes away.

Pros and Cons

Seasons at Park Trace vs. Comparable Communities

Hidden Things Buyers Should Know

The name problem

The MLS legal name often records as plain Park Trace rather than Seasons at Park Trace, so saved searches and comp pulls miss the community; search both names or you will not see everything that has sold.

The bungalow arbitrage

Buyers who want the Riverside and Avondale lifestyle usually face 400s-and-up historic homes with old systems; this community quietly offers the same district access with a warranty for over 100,000 dollars less, and most of those buyers have never heard of it.

The transitional-block reality

The blocks immediately around Lackawanna vary street to street; drive the approach routes at different times of day so you are buying the actual context, not just the site map.

Momentum Expert Insight

Selling a Home in Seasons at Park Trace

Early resales here compete directly with the builder next door, so we position against the builder price sheet, lead with what resale offers that new orders do not, completed landscaping, window coverings, no construction wait, and time the listing around incentive cycles.

We also fix the name problem in the marketing: listing under both Seasons at Park Trace and Park Trace phrasing so buyers and agents searching either name actually find the home.

Flood Zones & Insurance

Jacksonville sees coastal, river, and creek flooding, and pockets near the St. Johns River tributaries can sit in higher-risk zones. Jacksonville participates in the FEMA Community Rating System at a class 6, which earns flood-insurance discounts of about 10 percent for homes outside a special flood hazard area and about 20 percent for homes inside one.

The reliable move is to pull the FEMA flood designation for the exact Seasons at Park Trace address before you write an offer, since two homes in the same area can fall in different zones. A home in Zone X can cost far less to insure than one near water in Zone AE. Get a bindable flood and homeowners quote during your inspection period, so the cost is in your monthly math before you commit, not after.

Internet & Connectivity

The Jacksonville metro is served by Xfinity (Comcast) cable across nearly all addresses and by AT&T with DSL almost everywhere plus fiber to a growing share of homes. If working from home matters, confirm the options, and fiber in particular, at the specific Seasons at Park Trace address rather than assuming.

The Tax Reality

Duval County total millage runs roughly 17.9 to 18.5 mills depending on the taxing district. The Florida homestead exemption for 2026 is 51,411 dollars for those who qualify, and the deadline to file a new homestead exemption is March 1.

The trap to plan for is the post-sale reset: when you buy, the Save Our Homes cap from the previous owner ends and the assessed value resets to the new just value, so your second-year tax bill is often higher than the seller current one. Budget the true number, and confirm whether the specific home carries a CDD or other assessment that is billed separately from the millage and is not reduced by the homestead exemption.

What Your Budget Buys Here

The same budget buys very different homes across Seasons at Park Trace and the surrounding area, depending on age, size, lot, and condition. Rather than anchor on the asking price or the neighborhood average, price any specific home off the most recent comparable sales, and weigh what your money would buy in the nearby alternatives before you commit.

The Future of the Area

Duval County continues to grow, with new rooftops, retail, and road work reshaping parts of the area. That growth supports long-run demand, but it can also add competing inventory and construction traffic in the near term, so factor both the upside and the disruption into your timing and your pricing.

Resale Liquidity

How quickly a Seasons at Park Trace home resells comes down to presentation, condition, and pricing against the latest comparable sales rather than the neighborhood average. Homes that are priced correctly and shown well tend to move, while overpriced or dated homes sit. We track the active and sold comparable set so a Seasons at Park Trace home is priced to the real market.

The Seasons at Park Trace Playbook

If you are buying in Seasons at Park Trace, here is how we would approach it: pull the flood zone and a real insurance quote for the specific address, confirm the HOA dues and whether a CDD applies, compare what your budget would buy nearby, and price the home off the closest comparable sales rather than the asking price. If you are buying any new-construction home, bring your own agent before you register, since the on-site representative works for the builder, not for you.

Questions We Would Ask Before Buying Here

Mistakes to Avoid

The common ones around Seasons at Park Trace: trusting the seller current tax bill instead of the post-sale reset; skipping the address-specific flood check; assuming fiber is at every home; and pricing off the neighborhood average rather than the closest comparable sales. Each is avoidable with the right diligence, which is exactly where having your own agent pays off.
