eTown Jacksonville Homes for Sale: A 2026 Buyer Guide

If you are searching for eTown Jacksonville homes for sale, you are looking at one of Jacksonville’s newer master-planned communities — but the buying landscape has changed significantly by fall 2026.

Developed by The PARC Group, the master developer behind Nocatee, eTown was designed around four themes: community, technology, convenience and sustainability. It combines gated residential neighborhoods with trails, preserved land, the Recharge amenity center and The Exchange town center near State Road 9B and Interstate 295.

Most of eTown’s original builder neighborhoods are now sold out. As of fall 2026, Kettering is the community’s remaining actively selling new-home neighborhood, with David Weekley Homes marketing its final opportunities. Buyers looking in Edison, Newton, Marconi, Nobel, Granville or Del Webb eTown are generally shopping the resale market.

This guide explains the eTown neighborhoods, current builders, amenities, CDD and HOA structure, 55+ options and what buyers should check before purchasing.

Where Is eTown in Jacksonville?

eTown is located in South Jacksonville around the State Road 9B and Interstate 295 corridor.

The community is positioned between the St. Johns Town Center area and Flagler Center and is approximately three miles from St. Johns Town Center, according to eTown’s developer materials.

Its location provides direct access to major Jacksonville transportation corridors without requiring buyers to move south into St. Johns County.

That distinction is one of the major differences between eTown and Nocatee. eTown is in Duval County, while most Nocatee residential neighborhoods are farther southeast in St. Johns County.

If you are relocating to the area, our 2026 guide to moving to Jacksonville provides a broader overview of the city.

Who Developed eTown?

eTown is developed by The PARC Group, a Northeast Florida developer established in 1989.

The PARC Group is also the master developer behind Nocatee and has developed residential, master-planned and mixed-use communities throughout Northeast Florida.

eTown’s planning emphasizes:

• Connected neighborhoods
• Walking and multi-use trails
• Resident recreation
• Retail and services within the community
• Technology-oriented home and community design
• Preservation of natural areas

The developer states that approximately 50% of eTown’s acreage is intended to remain preserve, including portions of the area’s longleaf-pine habitat.

What Neighborhoods Are in eTown?

eTown contains several named residential neighborhoods, many of which were named for inventors and innovators.

The major for-sale neighborhoods include:

• Kettering
• Edison
• Newton
• Marconi
• Nobel
• Granville
• Del Webb eTown

The community also includes rental housing and additional residential development around The Exchange and Exchange West.

Kettering at eTown

Kettering is the primary place to look if you want brand-new construction inside eTown in fall 2026.

The newer gated portion of Kettering includes approximately 286 villa and townhome homesites.

David Weekley Homes currently identifies both its Kettering collections as being in their final opportunities or close-out stage.

Current quick move-in inventory includes approximately 2,367-square-foot paired villas with:

• 3 bedrooms
• 2.5 bathrooms
• 2 stories
• 2-car garages

As of October 2026, official eTown and David Weekley inventory showed ready-now Kettering homes around $504,700 to $529,300.

Those are current builder offerings rather than a permanent price range. Inventory and incentives can change as the neighborhood closes out.

Edison at eTown

Edison was built by Toll Brothers and includes gated single-family homes and villas.

The builder’s original Edison offerings included both attached villas and one- and two-story single-family homes.

New builder inventory is now sold out, so buyers looking in Edison should expect to shop resale listings.

Because homes vary considerably in size, upgrades and location within the neighborhood, resale pricing should be evaluated using recent Edison-specific comparable sales rather than a community-wide eTown average.

Newton at eTown

Newton is eTown’s Toll Brothers luxury townhome neighborhood.

Toll Brothers announced its final new-home opportunity in Newton in late 2025, and eTown now identifies the neighborhood as sold out from the builder.

Newton remains relevant for buyers seeking:

• Townhome living
• Gated access
• Lower exterior-maintenance responsibility
• Access to eTown’s broader location and amenities

Current opportunities are primarily resales.

Marconi, Nobel and Granville

These established eTown neighborhoods are also sold out from their original builders.

Marconi

Marconi contains gated single-family homes originally built by David Weekley Homes and ICI Homes.

Nobel

Nobel is another gated single-family neighborhood with homes originally offered by ICI Homes and David Weekley Homes.

Granville

Granville contains gated single-family homes by David Weekley Homes.

For buyers, the important point is that these neighborhoods now function primarily as resale markets. Condition, original builder, lot position and owner upgrades can create significant differences between properties.

Del Webb eTown

Del Webb eTown is the community’s gated 55+ active-adult neighborhood.

It was developed by PulteGroup’s Del Webb brand and is now sold out from the builder, meaning buyers generally enter the neighborhood through resale purchases.

Del Webb eTown has its own amenity system, separate from Recharge.

The neighborhood’s amenities were designed around The Gallery clubhouse and include features such as:

• Fitness facilities
• Social and club rooms
• Resort-style pool
• Event lawn
• Community garden
• Pickleball
• Tennis
• Bocce
• Croquet

This distinction matters because Del Webb residents do not simply share the same amenity structure as the other eTown residential neighborhoods.

Does Everyone in eTown Use Recharge?

No.

This is an important detail that is easy to miss when browsing listings.

Recharge is the five-acre community amenity center available to qualified residents of neighborhoods including Marconi, Newton, Kettering, Edison, Nobel and Granville.

Current Cypress Bluff CDD policies state that active-adult residents do not participate in the cost of Recharge and therefore do not receive access through that structure.

Del Webb eTown has its own separate resident amenities.

What Is at the Recharge Amenity Center?

Recharge is one of eTown’s defining features.

The approximately five-acre resident amenity complex includes:

• Resort-style zero-entry swimming pool
• Three-lane lap pool
• Fitness center
• Outdoor yoga lawn
• Rooftop patio
• Children’s playground
• Event lawn
• Gathering areas
• Dog park

The amenity center is operated within the Cypress Bluff Community Development District structure rather than being simply another private HOA clubhouse.

What Is The Exchange at eTown?

The Exchange is eTown’s mixed-use town-center district.

It was designed as a walkable area with neighborhood services, restaurants, shops and outdoor spaces connected to residential areas by eTown’s multi-purpose pathways.

The broader Exchange area continues to develop.

Exchange West, on the west side of the eTown Parkway/State Road 9B interchange, is planned to contain a mix of retail, office and residential uses.

That continuing development is important for buyers because eTown is no longer simply a collection of subdivisions surrounding an amenity center. The mixed-use component is becoming a larger part of the community.

What Rental Housing Is Inside eTown?

eTown also contains several rental options.

Current community materials identify:

• Volta: luxury apartments
• Olea eTown: age-targeted apartments
• Cottage Street: rental single-family cottages and townhomes
• Vicar’s Landing at eTown: future senior-living development in Exchange West

Vicar’s Landing at eTown was announced in 2026 with approximately 375 planned residences across independent living, assisted living and memory care. Initial move-ins are anticipated later in the decade rather than immediately.

Is a Surf Park Coming to eTown?

Yes, a Jacksonville surf-park project has been announced for eTown, but buyers should understand that it is a future development, not an existing resident amenity.

Aventuur and local partners acquired an approximately 45-acre eTown site for the planned Jacksonville Surf Park.

The project appears on eTown’s current community maps, but development timelines and final project details can change.

Buyers should therefore treat the surf park as a planned neighboring development rather than something guaranteed to be available on a particular date.

What Is the eTown CDD?

Much of eTown is within the Cypress Bluff Community Development District.

A Community Development District, or CDD, is a special-purpose local government used to finance and maintain infrastructure and community improvements.

eTown’s CDD has been involved with infrastructure and amenities including:

• Recreation facilities
• Trails
• Utilities
• Lighting
• Signage
• Stormwater improvements
• Landscaping

CDD assessments can include both debt-service and operations-and-maintenance components.

Do not assume every eTown home has the same annual CDD assessment. Buyers should review the actual property tax bill and current closing documents for the specific home.

Does eTown Have HOA Fees?

Yes, but there is not one universal eTown HOA.

Individual neighborhoods have their own homeowners associations and management companies.

For example, eTown currently lists separate HOA contacts for:

• Edison
• Nobel
• Marconi
• Del Webb eTown
• Kettering
• Newton
• Granville

That means buyers need to verify the association structure attached to the specific property rather than using an HOA amount from another eTown listing.

Before purchasing, review:

• Current HOA assessment
• CDD assessment
• Association budget
• Rules and restrictions
• Architectural requirements
• Rental restrictions
• Any pending or approved assessments

Our Florida HOA fee guide explains what to look for in association documents.

What Are the Schools for eTown?

eTown is in Duval County and is served by Duval County Public Schools.

David Weekley’s current Kettering information identifies:

• Mandarin Oaks Elementary School
• Twin Lakes Academy Middle School
• Atlantic Coast High School

School attendance boundaries can change, and assignments may depend on the exact address. Buyers should verify the current assignment directly with Duval County Public Schools rather than relying solely on a listing or builder page.

eTown vs. Nocatee

eTown and Nocatee share the same master developer, but they are not interchangeable.

eTown may appeal to buyers who want a master-planned environment while remaining in Jacksonville and closer to the Southside employment and retail corridors.

Nocatee offers a significantly larger amenity and neighborhood system farther southeast.

See our Nocatee real estate market update for a current look at that community.

Is eTown Still a New-Construction Community?

Partly — but much less than it was a few years ago.

As of fall 2026, official eTown information identifies Kettering as its one actively selling for-sale neighborhood.

David Weekley is marketing its remaining Kettering homes as final opportunities.

That means a buyer interested in eTown now generally has two paths:

• New construction: remaining Kettering villa and townhome inventory
• Resale: homes in Kettering, Edison, Newton, Marconi, Nobel, Granville or Del Webb

That is a very different market from eTown’s earlier development years, when several builders were selling simultaneously.

How Much Do eTown Homes Cost?

There is no useful single eTown price because the community includes townhomes, villas, single-family homes, luxury properties and 55+ housing.

For current new construction, official October 2026 inventory showed David Weekley Kettering quick move-ins at approximately $504,700 and $529,300.

Resale pricing elsewhere in eTown depends heavily on:

• Neighborhood
• Property type
• Square footage
• Lot position
• Age and condition
• Original builder
• Owner upgrades
• Current competing inventory

For that reason, buyers should compare current listings and recent sales within the specific eTown neighborhood rather than use one master-planned-community median.

You can also browse current Jacksonville new-construction homes if you want to compare eTown with other communities.

What Should Buyers Check Before Purchasing in eTown?

Before making an offer, review the full ownership cost for the specific property.

• Current purchase price
• Recent comparable sales in the same neighborhood
• HOA dues
• CDD assessments
• Property taxes after purchase
• Homeowners insurance
• Association rules
• Rental restrictions
• Amenity eligibility
• Builder warranty if purchasing remaining new construction
• Any neighborhood-specific maintenance responsibility

This is especially important in eTown because a Del Webb resale, Newton townhome and Kettering villa may all have very different fee and amenity structures despite sharing the eTown name.

Explore eTown Jacksonville Homes for Sale

eTown is reaching a different stage of its development cycle. Instead of choosing among several builders and brand-new neighborhoods, fall 2026 buyers are increasingly choosing between the final Kettering new homes and resale properties throughout the established neighborhoods.

That makes neighborhood-specific research more important than ever. A Newton townhome, Edison resale, Del Webb active-adult home and Kettering villa offer very different ownership experiences even though all four are located inside eTown.
