Discover Homes in Rivertown Springs, Saint Johns, FL
Rivertown Springs occupies a section of RiverTown, a 4,170-acre master-planned development in western St. Johns County positioned between Jacksonville and St. Augustine. The broader RiverTown community has been built around its frontage on the St. Johns River, and that access shapes the character of everything here. This is not a subdivision where riverfront access is incidental. It is central to how residents use the community on a daily basis.
The homes in Rivertown Springs are all new construction, built on what are generally described as large homesites. Floor plans range from three to five bedrooms and from roughly 2,700 to 4,500 square feet, which gives buyers options across a meaningful size spectrum without the price compression you get in smaller communities. Approximately six of the available homes in the neighborhood are waterfront. At an average of around $252 per square foot, the pricing is consistent with what comparable new construction in Saint Johns County commands at this scale and finish level.
What separates RiverTown from most master-planned communities in the region is the combination of scale and river access. The community has its own RiverTown Fields for youth sports, resident-exclusive access to paddleboard and kayak launches on the St. Johns River, and a boardwalk system that gives the property a sense of place beyond the typical amenity checklist. The HOA fee structure is notably modest given what the community offers.
