Parkland Preserve sits near World Golf Village in St. Augustine on 275 acres that include 10 lakes and 150 acres of preserved wetlands. It is a D.R. Horton Freedom Series community — the same line as many Florida 55+ communities — and it is nearly built out. The defining cost facts here are a CDD ranging from $2,390 to $3,924 per year depending on your lot, and an HOA of $230 per quarter that covers lawn maintenance. The $1,534 annual gap in that CDD range is not random — it is determined by which phase and lot you are on, and D.R. Horton does not explain this in its sales materials.
| Cost Item | Amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Home prices | From $374,900 | Resale market avg ~$425K |
| HOA fee | $230/quarter ($77/month) | Includes lawn mowing and trimming |
| CDD assessment | $2,390–$3,924/year | Varies by phase and lot — verify your parcel |
| CDD monthly equivalent | $199–$327/month | Appears on property tax bill |
| HOA + CDD combined | $3,314–$4,848/year | $276–$404/month |
| Property tax on $425K home (year 1) | ~$5,051 | St. Johns County 13.47 mills, $50K exemption |
What the HOA does not cover: landscaping upgrades, irrigation beyond basic coverage, and anything inside your home. The lawn-included structure is meaningful — it eliminates a cost that runs $80–$150/month if you hire it out independently.
World Golf Village is both an address and an identity here. The Slammer and Squire course and the King and Bear course (Arnold Palmer / Jack Nicklaus design) are immediately adjacent. The World Golf Hall of Fame is nearby. If golf matters, Parkland Preserve is the closest 55+ community in this market to quality public golf without paying for a private club.
The nearest major medical facility is Baptist Medical Center North, approximately 20 minutes. UF Health St. Johns is about 15 minutes. Mayo Clinic Jacksonville is 30 minutes north.
Parkland Preserve is nearly built out as of 2025. Most transactions are now resale, not builder-direct. On resale, you lose D.R. Horton warranty coverage and any builder incentives, but you gain the ability to see the actual as-built condition of the home and pull the historical tax bill to verify the CDD amount. On a resale at Parkland Preserve, always ask for three years of tax bills — this shows you what the CDD has been and whether it has changed.
The CDD amount on your specific lot is the most important number to verify before making an offer at Parkland Preserve. A local agent can pull the parcel record and give you the confirmed figure.
