Nocatee is one of the fastest-growing master-planned communities in Florida, spanning St. Johns County between Ponte Vedra and the Intracoastal Waterway. Its town-center corridor along Burbank Avenue and Crosswater Parkway now includes several purpose-built apartment communities alongside the community's predominantly single-family and townhome neighborhoods.
As of mid-2026, one-bedroom rents across Nocatee's apartment communities generally start in the $1,400-$1,600 range, with the newest 2026 delivery (Velara) commanding a premium for brand-new finishes, and three-bedroom townhome-style units at some communities pushing past $2,800-$3,500.

Renters insurance is not optional here. Many Florida leases require it, and standard policies generally do not cover flood damage — that may require separate coverage, even in an apartment. Before signing, look up the building's flood zone on FEMA's flood map service and ask which evacuation zone it sits in.
Ask about the real monthly cost. A recurring theme in public resident feedback is fee stacking: valet trash, common-area electric, mandatory bulk internet, pest control, admin and tech fees. Get the full itemized monthly figure in writing before you apply.
Tour with the AC running and ask about hurricanes. Humidity control is the difference between a fine unit and a moldy one; ask how old the AC is. And ask directly how the building handled the last major storm — communities that performed well say so happily, and reviewers call out the ones that didn't.
