A golfer's paradise neighborhood

Stretching along the pristine coastline of Jacksonville’s Ponte Vedra Beach, Sawgrass is a luxurious masterplanned neighborhood comprising two large, gated communities, the Country Club and Players Club. In the beachfront Country Club, some homes have private wooden walkways that lead straight to the ocean. The Players Club encompasses small lakes and waterways and offers some lakefront properties. Both communities include their own professional golf courses, and in either division, Sawgrass residents are never far from the cooling breeze of the Atlantic and exclusive facilities. While the community may be popular among retirees, the school district and kid-friendly amenities make it an ideal place for families as well. “The St. Johns County school district is one of the best in the state,” says Tiffany Cunningham, Florida resident and Realtor with Florida Coastal eXp Realty.

From small cottages to Mediterranean mansions

The streets within Sawgrass’ two neighborhoods are wide, designed to wind gently around their central golf courses. Both communities are made up of smaller subdivisions that break off into cul-de-sacs. While the Players Club subdivision is slightly larger than the Country Club community, Sawgrass as a whole includes 3,000 homes. A mix of single-family houses, condos and townhomes built between the late 1970s and ‘90s populate the neighborhood. Architecture ranges from small one-story traditional ranch-style homes and cottages to multi-story Mediterranean mansions; smaller homes start at around $260,000, while larger properties average $3 million. Homeowners associations manage both divisions of the neighborhood.

Many of the beachfront homes offer lush landscaping and access to the beach.
