Del Webb Ponte Vedra (Riverwood at Nocatee)

Independent Assessment

Because both 'Del Webb Ponte Vedra' and 'Del Webb Nocatee' are Del Webb developments inside Nocatee, it was important to establish whether they are the same physical community described under two names. Independent research across Del Webb's own site, 55places, Nocatee's own neighborhood pages, and multiple St. Johns County-area brokerage sites confirms these are two genuinely separate, adjacent communities, not one community with two names: Del Webb Ponte Vedra is the original Nocatee-area Del Webb, construction beginning around 2006-2007 with its Anastasia Club clubhouse opening in 2011 and a planned build-out of roughly 1,940 residences, now sold out from the builder and resale-only. Del Webb Nocatee, built immediately to the south starting in 2019, is a separate, later-phase Del Webb community of 845 homes with its own Canopy Club amenity campus and an on-site Tavern & Grill restaurant, and remained in active new-home sales as of the last update. Multiple independent sources (Del Webb's own site, 55places, Nocatee's developer blog) list these as two distinct community pages with different home counts, different amenity centers, and different histories, which corroborates treating them as separate communities rather than a duplicate.

Who May Find This Community Appealing

Buyers who want Del Webb's brand and the Nocatee master-plan lifestyle but prefer an established, mature community with a deeper resale comparable history and generally lower asking prices than the newer Del Webb Nocatee next door are the strongest fit here. It also suits buyers who do not need an on-site restaurant and are comfortable navigating a resale-only purchase process rather than buying new construction.

Homes, Builders & Development History

Del Webb Ponte Vedra was built by Pulte Homes under the Del Webb brand starting around 2006-2007, as the first Del Webb community developed within the broader Nocatee master plan. The community includes a mix of single-family homes, attached carriage homes, and condominiums, with a planned build-out of roughly 1,940 residences per secondary sources; that figure has not been independently confirmed against a final recorded plat. The community's signature clubhouse, the Anastasia Club, opened in summer 2011.

Current Pricing & Market Positioning

Resale pricing is reported at roughly $400,000 to $800,000 depending on home type, size, and section, generally running somewhat lower than comparable listings at the newer Del Webb Nocatee community nearby, consistent with its older vintage and lack of an on-site restaurant amenity. Buyers should pull current comparable sales from a local agent rather than rely on the blended estimate, since resale pricing shifts with each closing.

New Construction vs. Resale Considerations

Builder sales at Del Webb Ponte Vedra are closed, so every purchase here is a resale. This gives buyers the benefit of an established comparable-sales history and negotiating room that a still-actively-building community cannot offer, but means buyers should budget for a full home inspection and potential near-term replacement of aging major systems, since the oldest sections date to the community's original 2006-2007 construction.

Taxes, Insurance & Special Assessments

Homes here are subject to St. Johns County property tax plus the Nocatee Community Development District's non-ad valorem CDD assessment, which appears as a separate line item on the county tax bill rather than in the HOA quote — confirm the current amount for the specific parcel with the St. Johns County Tax Collector, since bond balances vary by original phase and lot. Because most homes here were built between roughly 2007 and 2020, buyers should still obtain a property-specific insurance quote given this area's coastal-adjacent wind exposure, and confirm whether an older section requires updated roofing or other components to qualify for standard coverage.

Community Layout & Lifestyle

Del Webb Ponte Vedra's Anastasia Club anchors a mature, established social calendar built around its indoor and outdoor pools, extensive court sports (tennis, bocce, and pickleball), and an on-site nature trail network, supplemented by full access to the broader Nocatee master plan's Town Center and Splash Water Park. As the older of the two Del Webb communities in Nocatee, it generally has a more settled, less construction-adjacent feel than the still-active-building Del Webb Nocatee immediately to its south.

Shopping, Healthcare & Airport Access

Del Webb Ponte Vedra sits within the Nocatee master-planned community in Ponte Vedra, St. Johns County, with a reported address of 124 Del Webb Parkway, Ponte Vedra, FL 32081. It is close to Nocatee's Town Center for everyday shopping and dining, several miles inland from Ponte Vedra Beach and the Atlantic Ocean, and provides reasonable access to both Jacksonville to the north and St. Augustine to the south via US-1 and I-95.

Age Qualification & Material Ownership Restrictions

Del Webb Ponte Vedra is a legally age-restricted 55-and-older community; secondary sources report explicit governing-document language requiring that the community provide housing for persons 55 years of age or older and that each occupied residential home include at least one resident 55 or older, consistent with federal HOPA compliance. Buyers should still confirm current age-verification and 80/20 occupancy-compliance procedures directly with the HOA before purchasing.

Tradeoffs & Limitations

Because builder sales are closed, buyers cannot select new floor plans, lot premiums, or builder financing incentives here — every purchase is a resale, subject to whatever condition and updates the specific seller has made. The community lacks the on-site Tavern & Grill restaurant that its newer neighbor, Del Webb Nocatee, offers. As an older community (construction began around 2006-2007), some homes and infrastructure will be nearing or past typical replacement cycles for roofs, HVAC systems, and water heaters compared with the newer community nearby — buyers should factor inspection findings into their offer accordingly.

Comparison With Nearby Communities

Del Webb Ponte Vedra and Del Webb Nocatee are frequently confused because both carry the Del Webb name and sit inside the same Nocatee master plan, but they are separate communities: Del Webb Ponte Vedra is the older, larger, resale-only original (construction began ~2006-2007, ~1,940 homes planned, Anastasia Club clubhouse, no on-site restaurant), while Del Webb Nocatee is the newer, smaller community immediately to the south (construction began 2019, 845 homes, Canopy Club with an on-site Tavern & Grill, and active builder sales as of the last update). Buyers who want the deepest resale comparable history and typically lower asking prices should look here; buyers who want new construction and an on-site restaurant should look at Del Webb Nocatee instead. Buyers who want golf included should compare Stillwater, several miles further north along CR-210.

Current Listings

A connected local St. Johns County agent can provide current available resale listings, recent comparable sales, the current HOA fee and its inclusions, and the current CDD assessment for a specific parcel.

Is Del Webb Ponte Vedra the same community as Del Webb Nocatee?

No. Independent research confirms these are two separate, adjacent Del Webb communities within the Nocatee master plan, each with its own HOA, amenity campus, and CDD assessment. Del Webb Ponte Vedra is the older, larger, resale-only original community; Del Webb Nocatee is the newer community built immediately to the south starting in 2019.

Can I still buy new construction in Del Webb Ponte Vedra?

No — builder sales here are closed and the community is resale-only. New Del Webb construction in this part of Nocatee is available at the separate Del Webb Nocatee community nearby.

Is Del Webb Ponte Vedra also called Riverwood at Nocatee?

Yes — secondary real estate sources use 'Riverwood at Nocatee' or 'Riverwood by Del Webb' as an alternate name for this same community.

Does Del Webb Ponte Vedra have a CDD fee?

Yes — homes here sit within the Nocatee Community Development District and carry a separate non-ad valorem assessment on the St. Johns County property tax bill, reported in the rough range of $1,500-$3,500/year depending on lot; confirm the current figure for the specific parcel.
