Del Webb Ponte Vedra

Del Webb Ponte Vedra, also referred to in some sources as Del Webb Riverwood, is the original and largest Del Webb 55-plus active-adult community in Northeast Florida, opened in 2007 within Nocatee, the fast-growing master-planned town spanning St. Johns and Duval counties documented in depth on this site’s own Nocatee page. The community is planned for more than 1,900 residences and anchors its social and recreational identity around the Anastasia Club, a roughly 38,000-square-foot clubhouse offering the scale of programming and amenity space typical of a large, well-established Del Webb development. Golf access is marketed rather than built directly into the community: residents are pointed toward TPC Sawgrass (the PGA Tour’s own headquarters course and home of THE PLAYERS Championship, documented in depth on this site’s own Ponte Vedra Beach page), Palm Valley Golf Club, and The Palencia Club as nearby playing options, rather than Del Webb Ponte Vedra including its own dedicated 18-hole course within its gates. A genuinely important distinction for buyers researching this community: Del Webb Ponte Vedra is not the only Del Webb development within Nocatee. A separate, newer, and smaller community, Del Webb Nocatee — anchored by its own Canopy Club rather than the Anastasia Club, and opened in late 2021 before selling out — exists elsewhere within the larger Nocatee footprint and is documented separately on this site; the two should not be confused, since they carry different opening dates, different clubhouses, and, as of this research, different resale-versus-new-construction market status. Governance for Del Webb Ponte Vedra runs through two layers: a neighborhood-level HOA covering the Anastasia Club and the community’s own private amenities, and Nocatee’s broader Tolomato Community Development District assessment, which per this site’s own Nocatee research runs roughly $1,315-$3,539 per year on the St. Johns County side for fiscal year 2026 depending on neighborhood, lot width, and bond series. Since Del Webb Ponte Vedra opened in 2007 and is now a mature, established community, prospective buyers should expect to purchase primarily through the resale market rather than new construction directly from the developer, whose current Nocatee-area new-home sales activity has moved first to Del Webb Nocatee and, following that community’s own sellout, to Del Webb St. Johns farther south. For healthcare, Del Webb Ponte Vedra residents rely on the same broader First Coast infrastructure documented on this site’s own Ponte Vedra Beach page: no hospital sits directly within the immediate area, with Mayo Clinic Jacksonville providing rapid specialty and tertiary-care access, Baptist Medical Center Beaches serving as the nearest community hospital, and UF Health Jacksonville holding the region’s only Level I adult trauma-center designation. Del Webb Ponte Vedra’s genuine appeal rests substantially on its Ponte Vedra Beach-area address itself: residents gain proximity to a nationally recognized golf institution (TPC Sawgrass), the broader upscale retail and dining corridor along A1A, and the wider First Coast’s cultural and coastal amenities, while paying meaningfully less than a comparable home in one of the immediate area’s ultra-high-end gated country-club communities like Sawgrass Country Club or Marsh Landing Country Club, both documented on this site’s own Ponte Vedra Beach page. This positions Del Webb Ponte Vedra as a genuinely more accessible entry point into the broader Ponte Vedra Beach lifestyle for a retiree specifically prioritizing an age-restricted community over an ungated, general-population estate neighborhood.

Age Restriction

Del Webb Ponte Vedra (also referred to in some sources as Del Webb Riverwood) is a confirmed 55-plus, age-restricted active-adult community, the original and now well-established Del Webb development within the broader Nocatee master-planned community, also covered on this site. It should not be confused with Del Webb Nocatee, a separate, newer, and smaller Del Webb community elsewhere within Nocatee, anchored by its own Canopy Club rather than Del Webb Ponte Vedra’s Anastasia Club.

Housing Types

• Single-family homes
• Attached villas

Pricing

Del Webb Ponte Vedra is planned for more than 1,900 residences, opened in 2007 as the original, largest Del Webb community in Northeast Florida per this site’s own Nocatee research, and functions today primarily as an established resale market rather than an active new-construction phase, since Del Webb’s current Nocatee-area new-construction sales activity has shifted to the separate Del Webb Nocatee community and, since that community sold out, to Del Webb St. Johns farther south. Buyers should confirm current resale pricing directly with a local agent rather than rely on original 2007-era figures, which would substantially understate current market value given nearly two decades of appreciation and the broader run-up in Ponte Vedra Beach-area home prices documented on this site’s own Ponte Vedra Beach page.

Fees & Assessments

HOA Dues: Del Webb Ponte Vedra residents pay a neighborhood-level HOA fee covering the Anastasia Club clubhouse and the community’s own private amenities, layered on top of Nocatee’s broader Community Development District assessments; specific current HOA dollar figures were not independently confirmed in this research, and buyers should request current fee schedules directly from the community’s HOA.

CDD Assessment: Del Webb Ponte Vedra sits inside the larger Nocatee master-planned community, governed primarily through the Tolomato Community Development District (TCDD), per this site’s own Nocatee research, which documents total annual CDD assessments running roughly $1,315-$3,539 per year on the St. Johns County side for fiscal year 2026, varying by neighborhood, lot width, and bond series. Buyers should confirm the specific assessment tier applicable to a Del Webb Ponte Vedra address directly, since it may differ from figures quoted for other Nocatee neighborhoods.

Club/Golf Fees: Del Webb Ponte Vedra markets golf access to several area courses, including TPC Sawgrass, Palm Valley Golf Club, and The Palencia Club, per this site’s own Ponte Vedra Beach research; this access is arranged through nearby public or semi-private courses rather than a golf course built directly within Del Webb Ponte Vedra itself, and specific membership or greens-fee costs for these arrangements were not independently confirmed in this research. Buyers specifically wanting golf as a bundled, on-site amenity rather than a nearby, separately arranged one should confirm the exact terms of this access directly, since "marketed access" to a nearby club is a meaningfully different arrangement than mandatory or automatic membership bundled into HOA dues.

Amenities

• Marketed golf access to TPC Sawgrass, Palm Valley Golf Club, and The Palencia Club
• Fitness facilities and organized fitness programming within the Anastasia Club
• Resident-organized clubs and activities typical of a large, established Del Webb community

Getting Around

Healthcare: No hospital sits directly within Del Webb Ponte Vedra or the broader Ponte Vedra Beach area, per this site’s own Ponte Vedra Beach research; residents rely on Mayo Clinic Jacksonville for rapid access to specialty and tertiary care, Baptist Medical Center Beaches (135 beds, no trauma designation) in nearby Jacksonville Beach for community-hospital care, and UF Health Jacksonville for the region’s only Level I adult trauma center.

Airport: Jacksonville International Airport (JAX) sits roughly 33 miles and a roughly 39-minute drive from the broader Ponte Vedra Beach area, per this site’s own Ponte Vedra Beach research; this research did not independently confirm Del Webb Ponte Vedra’s specific distance, which would run somewhat differently depending on the community’s precise location within the larger Nocatee footprint.
