Cornerstone, Mattamy, David Weekley and Providence have all experienced robust sales, with Providence looking at the successful end of a great run in Crosswater.

Plummer Creek Phase II will feature wooded preserve and lake view sites.

Dream Finders has broken ground at Plummer Creek Phase II, new single family homes west of I-95, north of the Jacksonville International Airport.    Northside new construction is heavy, because people are finding the wooded, natural setting as a great alternative to Mandarin, JTB, and Intracoastal, without the nasty commute, and it's quite a bit more affordable.   Dream Finders, like many new Northside Community builders, is not charging CDD fees at Plummer Creek. 

It used to be the airport was a hike for most of us. Now, not so much. You're minutes from downtown, JIA, and not a bad ride to Southside and the Beaches via the Dames Point Bridge. The River City

Willowcove at Nocatee is the epitome of Nocatee living, and another great example of just how a creative, sustainable balance of work, recreation and commerce can come together in concert with nature. Willowcove lives up to the promise of Nocatee’s epic master planning community vision, now spanning the northeastern corner of St. Johns County and southeastern portion of Duval County in Northeast Florida.

Nocatee’s Willowcove community sits just adjacent to the main Nocatee Town Center and water park. It’s a neighborhood with a warm traditional style at its core, yet Willowcove tastefully integrates both craftsmen and traditional residences from homebuilders David Weekley and Lennar Homes.

    Square footage matters. 200 square feet free from ICI Homes. By: Alan Aptheker  In Julington Creek, ICI has Magnolia Preserve and Plantation Grove. In Magnolia Preserve, they're offering to match buyers who purchase 200 square feet of extra space, with another 200 square feet for free.

Warranties for Newly Built Homes

By: Alan Aptheker
It is more than likely that the most expensive purchase you will ever make is your new home.  Buyers of new construction have that home warranty top-of-mind when considering a new home, and it’s a good idea to pay attention, read the fine print. In fact, if you’re buying a new home, it’s a good idea to look beyond just what that home warranty covers.   You should go into the process knowing how you would make a claim, and what’s the resolution process in the unlikely event of a dispute? All home warranties are not created equal. Many are backed by the builder; others are purchased by the builder from an outside independent company that assumes responsibility for claims. Some homeowners like to…
