The Tavern & Grill, the Mayo Clinic proximity, the beach — every listing leads with these. This is the other half of the picture: the CDD fee that stacks on top of your HOA, the St. Johns County tax math, and what "estimate" actually means on the HOA line.

Talk to a Specialist →The Canopy Club's Tavern & Grill is a full-service restaurant and bar inside the gates, with private wine lockers — a genuine walk-to-dinner amenity that no other 55+ community in the First Coast market currently matches. This is the single most repeated selling point for Nocatee, and it holds up.
Jacksonville is home to one of only three U.S. Mayo Clinic campuses, and it sits roughly 20 minutes from Del Webb Nocatee. For buyers managing complex cardiac, oncological, or neurological care, that proximity is a real retirement-planning asset — closer than Sarasota-to-Tampa, Myrtle Beach-to-Charleston, or Charlotte-to-Duke.
Opened in 2019, the Canopy Club amenity campus was built to current active-adult standards rather than retrofitted: zero-entry resort pool, indoor lap pool, fitness studio, pickleball and tennis, a dog park, and trails tying into Nocatee's roughly 2,400-acre preserve system. The Nocatee master plan adds the Splash Water Park and Town Center on top of that.
Ponte Vedra Beach is about 4 miles away — roughly a 10-minute drive. Few 55+ communities in the region combine this much amenity density with this little distance to the Atlantic.

Every Del Webb Nocatee home sits inside the Nocatee Community Development District. That CDD assessment shows up on your annual property tax bill — typically an estimated $1,500 to $3,500 per year depending on lot size and phase — on top of an HOA fee estimated at roughly $350–$420/month (confirm the current figure directly with the Del Webb sales office; it is not a fixed published number). CDD bonds commonly run 20–30 years, so this is not a fee that phases out quickly. Brochures rarely spell this out in one place.
On an estimated $600K home with primary homestead, county property tax runs roughly $7,000–$8,500/year after the standard $50K exemption, and homeowners insurance in this coastal-adjacent market is estimated at $3,500–$5,500/year given wind and flood exposure that varies by lot. Combined with HOA and CDD, total non-mortgage housing cost on a $600K home is estimated in the range of $18,600–$26,140/year. None of these figures are guaranteed — verify current rates and your specific lot's flood zone before you budget.
If bundled golf is a priority, Nocatee does not include it (Stillwater does). And because the community only opened in 2019 and is still an active-construction community, buyers looking for years of resale pricing data to benchmark value — the way you could at an older Del Webb community — will find a thinner track record here.
Del Webb Nocatee itself is gated and age-restricted, but it sits inside the much larger, all-ages Nocatee master plan — so the town center, trails, and water park you'll use are shared with families and younger residents, not an exclusively 55+ environment. For buyers who specifically want an all-ages-excluded bubble, that is worth knowing before you tour.
We can run your full CDD + HOA + St. Johns County tax + insurance math before you book a tour.
