Villages of Seloy

St. Augustine, FL · 55+ Age-Restricted · 240 Homes · Resale Only · Built 2007–Present (Builder Closed)

Villages of Seloy is a 240-home gated 55+ community in St. Augustine proper — one of the few communities in this market in St. Augustine's city limits rather than the outer suburban corridors. It is made up of attached homes built as duplexes and quads, with four floor plans ranging from 1,875 to 2,461 square feet. The community is resale only. The original builder is no longer in business. That single fact changes what you need to verify before buying here compared to a new-construction community.

Resale-Only Community: What It Means for BuyersWhen a builder closes, new-construction warranty coverage ends. Any home you purchase at Villages of Seloy is from an individual seller, not the original developer. This means: no builder warranty transfers, no new-construction pricing, and a due diligence process closer to a standard resale than a new-build purchase. Get a full home inspection including structural elements, roofing, HVAC, and plumbing. Request three years of HOA financial statements — in a resale-only community, HOA reserve funding is especially important since there is no builder backstop for capital repairs.

Cost Information

Property tax at Villages of Seloy uses the same St. Johns County millage rate as all other communities in this market: 13.47 mills in 2025. On a home valued at $350,000, year-one property tax after the $50,000 homestead exemption is approximately $4,041 per year. St. Augustine city limits may carry a separate city millage on top of the county rate — verify your specific parcel at sjcpa.us for the combined total.

Why Buyers Search Villages of Seloy

Location. Villages of Seloy is in St. Augustine proper — walkable or short-drive access to the historic district, Flagler College, and the Intracoastal waterway. Buyers who specifically want to be in the city rather than the outer St. Johns County suburban corridors (Silverleaf, TrailMark, World Golf Village) frequently compare Seloy to Cascades at World Golf Village as the two established resale-only options in this market.

The attached home structure also appeals to buyers who want less exterior maintenance than a standalone single-family home — the duplex or quad layout means shared exterior walls reduce some maintenance burden, though the HOA typically handles exterior upkeep in communities like this (confirm current HOA scope).

Compare to Other St. Augustine Communities

Buying in a resale-only community where the original builder is gone requires a more thorough due diligence process. An agent who knows Villages of Seloy specifically can tell you the current HOA fee, reserve funding status, and what homes are actually available.
