The Landings at Pecan Park. Know what matters before you buy.

The 60-Second Overview

The Landings at Pecan Park is Century Communities' tri-product community off Pecan Park Road on Jacksonville's Northside: townhomes, paired villas, and single-family homes sold side by side from roughly $249K to $380K, with a walking trail, dog park, and playground, and the airport corridor's jobs five minutes away.

The pitch is attainability with new-build systems in a corridor whose employment base, JIA, River City Marketplace retail, and the logistics parks, keeps adding workers who need exactly this price band. The diligence is builder-purchase discipline plus one Northside-specific item: verify the CDD status on the actual parcel, because communities in this corridor split on it and it moves the monthly meaningfully.

Three products, one address, $249K to $380K, the Northside's whole attainable-new market in a single community.

We represent buyers inside builder communities because the sales office, helpful as it is, works for Century. Product selection, contract terms, and incentive math deserve your own side of the table.

Fees & the CDD Question

The stack, with one open item:

1) The HOA. Covers the trail, parks, and commons; townhome sections typically carry additional exterior-maintenance dues over the single-family rate. Confirm the current assessments per product, and ask for the post-buildout budget projection, builder-subsidized dues can step up at turnover.

2) The CDD question. Some Northside new communities carry district assessments, others do not, and listing remarks are unreliable on it. Thirty seconds on the property appraiser's site answers it parcel by parcel; we verify before any contract because a $1,500+ annual line changes the affordability math this band is bought on.

3) The incentive structure. Century's closing-cost credits and rate buydowns usually require the affiliated lender. The math wins sometimes, run it against an outside quote, all-in, every time.

The Three Products, Told Apart

Townhomes (~$249-290K) are the door-in: 3BR open-concept plans at the corridor's lowest new-build price. They also attract investors, which affects both the street's feel and future financing ratios, worth watching as the community matures.

Paired villas (~$280-330K) split the difference: single-level living, less shared wall than a townhome, downsizer- and first-buyer-friendly, historically the steadiest absorption in tri-product plans.

Single-family (~$320-380K) is the long-game product: yards, garages, and the detached premium that leads every resale cycle. If the budget reaches, the exit math usually argues for it.

Homes & Lots

Century's plans run open-concept 3-4BR layouts, block construction to current code with builder warranty. Inside each product, value drivers are the usual new-community trio: lot backing (preserve and pond edges over rear neighbors), position relative to the entrance and any corridor noise, and options depth. The airport corridor adds one more: walk the lot and listen, flight paths and logistics traffic vary block by block, and the quiet lots will resell like it.

Independent inspections at pre-drywall and final are non-negotiable, production schedules are not quality control.

Schools, Honestly

The Oceanway-area feeders, commonly Louis Sheffield Elementary, Oceanway Middle, and First Coast High, serve the corridor, and assignments shift as Northside rooftops multiply. Verify the address with Duval County Public Schools and ask about announced changes; growth corridors rezone, and this is one.

Pros & Cons

The Buyer Playbook

How a Landings purchase goes well:

• Bring representation from visit one. Registration rules; table balance.
• Pick the product on exit math. Entry price is half the decision.
• Verify CDD and both HOA layers. Before the design studio, not after.

• Inspect independently, twice. Pre-drywall and final.
