Families are drawn to the A-rated St. Johns County school system, with standout campuses such as Creekside High School, Bartram Trail High School, and Fruit Cove Middle School supported by the excellent St. Johns County School District.

Weekends often revolve around errands and dining at the Pavilion at Durbin Park, with everything from big-box retail to local eateries, while nearby Nocatee and coastal spots offer quick beach escapes when you want salt air.
