The Homes & Style
Silver Landing is the entry-priced tier inside SilverLeaf, and it offers two products. Dream Finders Homes builds the townhomes and a single-family lineup, while Ashley Homes builds a separate single-family series on 40-to-60-foot lots. Because the community is actively building, this is a builder-priced market rather than a settled resale, so list prices move on incentives, lot premiums, and options every month.
The townhomes are the headline. Most Florida townhome product is built on roughly 20-to-24-foot-wide footprints, which forces narrow rooms and single-file kitchens. Silver Landing's Dream Finders townhomes run a wider footprint, which is why plans from roughly 1,289 to 1,433 square feet carry walk-in pantries, real garages, and covered lanais, and why the rooms live bigger than the square footage reads. They have started in the low $300s per builder-published pricing, with 2 to 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and 1-to-2-car garages.
The single-family series sits above the townhomes on the price ladder, on 40-to-60-foot lots from Dream Finders and Ashley. Builder mixes and active releases change as phases sell, so confirm what is actively selling, and at what net price after incentives, before you tour.
The structural fact across every home is the missing CDD line. SilverLeaf carries no CDD anywhere in the plan, and Silver Landing keeps it, so the tax bill is St. Johns County millage with no assessment layered on top, which matters most at this entry price point.
Living Here
Silver Landing residents use SilverLeaf's plan-wide amenity framework rather than a single private village campus: amenity centers, pools, splash pads, neighborhood parks, and the plan's trail network, all growing as the master plan builds out. The trade against a private-campus community runs in both directions, you share more, but you also get a bigger framework than any single village could fund, with no CDD funding any of it.
The townhome HOA carries exterior layers, roof, paint, and landscaping, that make the product genuinely low-maintenance, which suits first buyers, commuters, and lock-and-leave owners. Read the association documents for exactly what is and is not covered, and any lease-term minimums if rental flexibility matters.
Everyday errands run to the World Golf Village and CR-210 corridors today, with the St. Augustine Premium Outlets about fifteen minutes away, while SilverLeaf's own retail core grows inside the plan. The new SilverLeaf K-8 opening for the 2026-27 year brings the school run in-plan, and a Baptist Health campus under construction adds in-plan healthcare.
SilverLeaf is actively building, so expect construction traffic on the parkways, new phases rising nearby, and amenities arriving in stages. Buyers who price that in, and buy the funded plan rather than the rendering, are the ones the growth zone rewards.
Before You Offer
St. Johns County flooding concentrates near the Intracoastal, the coast, and the creeks and marshes, while many inland master-planned communities sit in lower-risk zones. The reliable move is to pull the FEMA flood designation for the exact Silver Landing address before you write an offer, since two homes in the same area can fall in different zones, and check drainage on any lot backing ponds or preserve for summer rains.
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.
St. Johns County is well served by AT&T (fiber in most newer communities) and Xfinity (Comcast), though fiber availability still varies by street. If working from home matters, confirm the options, and fiber in particular, at the specific Silver Landing address rather than assuming.
The cost advantage to verify here is the no-CDD line. SilverLeaf carries no CDD anywhere in the plan, which is unusual for a St. Johns master plan, so prove it on the actual tax bill parcel by parcel. 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. Even on a new build, get an independent inspection at pre-drywall and final, the builder warranty terms in writing, and the live incentive sheet before you sign.
Comparisons
The honest way to place Silver Landing is against the other entry-priced townhome and single-family options a St. Johns buyer is realistically weighing, each trading something different.
Inside SilverLeaf, Silver Landing's townhomes counter Waterford Lakes, the D.R. Horton townhome neighborhood with its own pool-and-fitness campus, with the extra-wide footprint and the Dream Finders finish, and both keep the no-CDD line. Against CDD townhome communities outside the plan, Silver Landing wins the monthly by the entire assessment at the same list price, so the comparison only works if you run all-in monthly rather than sticker. The case against it is the active construction and the plan-wide rather than private amenity model, where a settled community offers maturity and a private campus offers an exclusive amenity. Run the all-in payment and the funded plan, not the rendering, and the ranking holds up.
Who It Fits
Silver Landing fits the entry buyer who wants a no-CDD St. Johns County address at the low end of a major master plan, values an extra-wide, lock-and-leave townhome over narrow standard product, and will run the all-in monthly against look-alike CDD communities rather than rank on sticker price. If a no-assessment payment, SilverLeaf's amenity access, and an in-plan school matter more than a settled neighborhood and a private village campus today, it is one of the stronger entry plays in the county.
