This active residential community is located just miles south of Jacksonville and offers residents incredible ocean views, access to world-renowned fishing, boating and snorkeling, along with affordable real estate opportunities in attractive, friendly neighborhoods. With its tree-lined streets, vast expanses of untamed parkland and beach access and mild tropical climate, Palm Valley and its nearly 25,000 citizens, are privy to some of the finest amenities and recreational opportunities in all of Florida.
Palm Valley caters to people of all ages. With the recent influx of young families to the area, Palm Valley has done a credible job in building new schools and parks and developing other open areas to accommodate the rush of young children and teenagers. For senior citizens and active adults, the city as a whole and its many open parklands provide excellent opportunities for hiking, biking and hunting in addition to the obvious water sports available.
Palm Valley is a member city of St. Johns County, which is commonly referred to by locals and tourists alike as America’s finest romantic destination. The county is famous for its attractions, historic sites and points of interest, attracting more than 2 million visitors annually alone. The domino effect of the tourism industry has benefited all incorporated cities, including Palm Valley. Many of the landmarks in this region have Spanish influences as seen in the architecture, street names, food and artwork. Historic landmarks include the Castillo de San Marcos National Monument, the Spanish Quarter Village, the Fountain of Youth Discovery Park where Ponce de Leon is said to have sought everlasting youth, and the Mission of Nombre de Dios to name a few. Other landmarks include Flagler College and the Lightner Museum, a Victorian collectibles museum.
Once home to an Indian village and later the Spanish settlement of Fort Diego, Palm Valley today makes up the quiet area of Ponte Vedra Beach, between highways A1A and U.S. 1. A popular professional golf event held here is The Players Championship (TPC). Additionally, there are many small farms raising produce and livestock, as well as a plethora of suburban residences. Neighborhoods in St. Johns County, especially in cities such as Palm Valley, are currently in high demand by homebuyers moving to into northeast Florida. Prospective residents are looking into the local real estate market due to its convenient location close to Jacksonville, also home of the NFL’s Jacksonville Jaguars, the great public schools in the area, modern amenities and excellent hospitals, and the newer, more modern homes being constructed in the area.
If you are considering a move to St. Johns County, look no further than Palm Valley and the Ponte Vedra Beach area, which was recently recognized by Money Magazine as the “Best Place to Live in Florida.” Together, they combine to create a truly remarkable, family-friendly community filled with stunning natural beauty and exciting recreational amenities.
