Lakewood
Homes for Sale in St. Augustine, FL
True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.
As of September 2026, the MLS records 7 closed sales in Lakewood in St. Augustine, FL since 2006, the most recent in November 2020. Across St. Augustine as a whole, 2,667 homes closed in the last 12 months at a median of $454,157, 53 median days on market, with 685 homes for sale today. At that median and St. Johns County's FY2025-26 rate of 13.47 mills, annual property tax runs about $6,120 ($5,600 with the full homestead exemption).
Lakewood sits inside the World Golf Village orbit in St. Augustine, and that location does most of the pricing work here. Buyers are paying for the combination of a master-planned setting in St. Johns County and a St. Augustine address, not for a single home archetype, so what a given listing fetches tracks closely with its condition, lot, and how recently it has been updated.
With that in mind, treat any single list price as a starting point rather than a verdict. If you are selling, the homes that move cleanly are the ones presented well and priced to the honest condition of the property; if you are buying, expect to underwrite each home on its own merits rather than assuming the community sets one number. We would rather walk you through comparable sales in person than lean on a headline figure.
The 60-Second Overview
Lakewood is a pocket within the broader World Golf Village area of St. Augustine, in St. Johns County — a location-driven community where the surrounding master-planned amenities and county setting carry more weight than any one floor plan.

The Lakewood buying strategy.
If we were buying in Lakewood today, this is the order of operations we would run for our clients.
Underwrite the condition first. Price the roof, HVAC, and systems honestly before judging any list price; condition swings value here more than square footage alone.
Match the home to real comps. Recent sales of similar condition and lot, not the asking price, tell you what a home is worth.
Move deliberately, not desperately. Neither side has a decisive edge, so a well-prepared, fairly-priced offer wins without overpaying.
Line up financing and inspection early. A pre-approval and an inspection plan let you act fast and negotiate from evidence.
Keep an agent in your corner. The listing agent works for the seller; we represent you and prepare a hand-built valuation before any offer in Lakewood.
Location does the heavy lifting in WGV
The draw here is context. World Golf Village is an established St. Augustine destination with golf, dining, and interstate access that put both the historic coast and the Jacksonville job corridor within reach. Lakewood benefits from sitting inside that framework without you having to build it — the amenities and connectivity are already in place.
Because the appeal is locational and the homes vary, the honest read is that price spread here is condition-driven. Two homes with similar bones can trade differently based on updates, lot position, and how they show. That is normal for a community like this, and it is exactly where a careful comparable analysis earns its keep.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Lakewood. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
We work Northeast Florida for a living and we will not oversell WGV to you. Our job is to read each Lakewood listing against real comparables, tell you where a home is fairly priced and where it is stretching, and walk you through the trade-offs of buying into the World Golf Village setting. If it is not the right fit, we will say so.
