Nocatee /ˈnɒkətiː/ is an unincorporated planned community and census-designated place (CDP) located primarily in northern St. Johns County, Florida.[1] The population was 22,503 at the 2020 census,[2] up from 4,524 at the 2010 census,[3] an increase of nearly 400%. It is part of the Jacksonville, Florida Metropolitan Statistical Area. As of 2020, the community consists of twenty-two neighborhoods, some of which are specialized for certain age groups.[4] The community blends a variety of neighborhoods with schools, parks, recreation, offices, shopping, and restaurants.[5] Part of the development lies within Jacksonville city limits in Duval County, although the CDP lies entirely within St. Johns County.[3] It is near Ponte Vedra Beach in Florida's First Coast region and sits on 13,323 acres (5,392 ha) of land. It was approved in 2001 as a Development of Regional Impact (DRI) under Section 380.06 of the Florida Statutes.[6][7]
In addition, Nocatee is near beaches, golf courses, business parks and major airports in downtown Jacksonville and St. Augustine.[5]
