First impressions are lasting impressions!  So many of our residents fell in love with this community at first sight and the love story continues.  Julington Creek Plantation prides itself on its beauty - approximately 1200 acres of natural areas and over 100 acres of ponds.  Locally known as “The Plantation” or just “JCP”, our neighborhood schools, nearby medical facilities, golf course, recreation offerings, and convenient shopping centers have made us one of the most sought after communities in the area.  Winner of 2005 “Best Community for Families” by North Florida Families Magazine.  JCP offers a variety of homes designed and constructed by award-winning builders and architects.  The Plantation’s wide range of amenities and quiet natural setting support a broad range of activities for families and individual residents.

The most recent addition to Julington Creek Plantation is the CDD Recreation Center, built in 2008.  See a slideshow of the new recreation facilities.  It is a two-story $15M facility in a beautiful setting offering registered participants workout equipment, free weights, fitness classes, a clay court tennis complex, a fishing pond, basketball courts, a skateboard park, and a children’s playground.  For social activities there is the Cyber Café, two community rooms and a teen center.  Child care services are available.  The heated competition pool, family pool, waterslide, water park, and wading pool complement the three pools in the original Aquatic Center on the west side of JCP (see http://www.jcpcdd.org/Pools.html).

In 2009, the Aquatic Center received a remodeling and pool resurfacing.  An 18-hole golf course, the Champions Club at Julington Creek, meanders around the neighborhoods, through tall pine and oak forests.  The landscaped common areas provide opportunities for bicycling, walking, and just sitting to enjoy the views.  Reserve one of the banquet rooms for a party or dinner, or rent one of several pavilions in the community.

Four large shopping centers are adjacent to JCP.  They feature grocery stores, beauty salons, drug stores, boutiques, restaurants, banks and a post office.  The county service center is located at 725 Flora Branch Blvd. and houses the sheriff's office, a motor vehicle registration center, property appraisers and tax office.

Mills Field, a county complex with baseball fields, hard-court tennis courts, and youth and adult sports programs is adjacent to our community.  Close-by parks such as Veterans Park and Alpine Groves, a premier birding and eagle nesting site, provide for quiet retreat.  Boaters can enjoy the nearby St. Johns River or kayak in creeks and local estuaries like Guana Tolomato Matanzas Reserve.   Ocean-lovers can visit public beaches including, Vilano, Jacksonville, and St. Augustine.   The cities of St. Augustine and Jacksonville are a short drive away.

Julington Creek Plantation boasts 5800+ residences spread over approximately 5000 acres.  While we may be large, you’ll never feel lost when you live in JCP.  Each of The Plantation’s thirty neighborhoods has its own character, so you’ll be able to settle right in with folks you’ll want as friends.  With its broad selection of single-family houses and garage townhouses, you’ll surely find the home that is just right for you, whether it’s a starter home or a luxury estate in a gated neighborhood.  The Plantation is a covenanted community with annual assessments for community improvements and maintenance.  It is both an established community, with neighborhoods started in 1994, and a growing locale with recent neighborhoods and available lots for building your very own dream home.  Open our community map to orient yourself.
