Ponte Vedra Palm Valley- Rawlings Elementary School

It's one of the most desirable family areas in St. Johns County, combining coastal access with a full run of top-rated public schools. The Rawlings zone feeds into Ponte Vedra High School, which is a major draw for buyers relocating for education. The quiet Palm Valley setting between the marshes and the beach keeps it family-oriented rather than tourist-driven.

It depends heavily on what part of the market you're in. Active listings currently range from $199,000 to $469,000 with a median list price of $269,000, but the 7 homes that actually sold over the past year closed at a median of $749,000. That gap tells you the higher-end inventory is where most closed activity happens.

Current active listings sit at a $269,000 median, averaging about $264 per square foot on a median home size of roughly 1,095 square feet. The recent sold median of $749,000 reflects larger and higher-end homes that trade when they come available. It's a zone where price varies widely by property type, so the median list price alone won't tell the whole story.

Inventory is extremely tight, with just 3 active listings and a median of 0 days on market, meaning homes are moving essentially as soon as they list. Sellers are averaging 93% of their asking price across the past year's 7 sales. Buyers should be pre-approved and ready to act rather than wait for more choices.

The median HOA here runs about $618 per month, which is on the higher side and typically reflects community amenities and maintenance. Median property tax comes in around $2,787 per year, which is modest for the price points in this zone. Always confirm the specific HOA and tax figures for any individual home, since they vary by community.
