Beacon Lake Townhomes in Saint Augustine, FL

Beacon Lake Townhomes occupies a section of a master-planned community anchored by a 43-acre lake and bordered by approximately 358 acres of nature preserve. That context matters for buyers considering a townhome here. You are not buying into a standalone complex. You are buying into a community with meaningful outdoor infrastructure, a full amenity center, and a physical setting that gives the development a sense of scale without feeling sprawling.

The townhomes themselves were built in 2020 and 2021, which means buyers are generally working with properties that carry modern construction standards without the premium of new construction pricing. Floor plans range from just under 1,400 square feet to just over 1,800 square feet. Three-bedroom layouts are standard throughout. For buyers who want low-maintenance living without sacrificing space or community amenities, the format makes sense.

HOA fees run $450 per quarter, which covers access to shared amenities across the Beacon Lake community. For comparison purposes, that is a relatively modest fee given the scope of what is available on site. One listing has waterfront exposure, which is worth noting for buyers with that preference. The balance of the section offers the same floor plans without direct water frontage.
