The Landings at Saint Johns

St. Johns, FL · Age-Targeted — Not Age-Restricted · 572 Homes · Built 2024–Present

This Is Not a 55+ Age-Restricted CommunityThe Landings at Saint Johns markets to active adults 55+ but is classified as age-targeted, not age-restricted under the Housing for Older Persons Act (HOPA). That is a legal distinction, not a marketing nuance. In an age-targeted community, the builder designs and markets for 55+ buyers, but there is no legal requirement that residents be 55 or older. Neighbors can be any age. There is no enforcement mechanism to prevent a 35-year-old from purchasing and living there. If legal age restriction — and the demographic certainty that comes with it — matters to you, The Landings at Saint Johns is not the same product as Parkland Preserve, Reverie at Silverleaf, or WaterSong at RiverTown.

Age-Targeted vs Age-Restricted: The Actual Difference

Feature	Age-Restricted (55+)	Age-Targeted (like The Landings)
Legal minimum age to purchase	At least one resident must be 55+	No legal minimum — anyone can buy
HOA enforcement of age	HOA can enforce 55+ requirement	HOA cannot legally enforce age
HOPA qualification	Qualifies — 80% of units must have 55+ resident	Does not qualify as age-restricted under HOPA
Community demographics over time	Legally protected 55+ character	May shift as homes turn over — no demographic guarantee
Resale market	Buyers expect 55+ community; search specifically for it	Resale pool is broader but buyers seeking true 55+ may look elsewhere

Who The Landings Is Right For

Buyers who want new construction in the 55+ lifestyle format but do not require the legal age restriction — and who may want flexibility for a younger spouse, adult child, or caretaker to live in the home without age constraints — may find The Landings appropriate. Buyers who specifically searched for 55+ communities expecting legal enforcement of an age-restricted environment should understand that The Landings does not provide that guarantee.
