St. Johns River Community
Fleming Island is a planned community that developed rapidly through the 1990s and 2000s along the western bank of the St. Johns River. What draws buyers here above all else is value — Clay County consistently offers more home for the dollar than neighboring Duval or St. Johns counties, with property tax rates that give homeowners meaningful annual savings.
The community is built around outdoor living — lakes, trails, golf courses, and parks are woven throughout. Eagle Harbor is the flagship neighborhood, anchored by a Tom Fazio-designed golf course, tennis facilities, a community pool complex, and a marina. It sets the tone for the rest of the island.
Clay County schools are a major draw. Fleming Island High School is routinely ranked among the best in the state, and the feeder elementary and middle schools perform just as well. Families relocating from other Florida markets are often surprised by the quality they find here at a fraction of the cost.
The commute to Jacksonville, Orange Park, and NAS Jacksonville is straightforward via US-17 and I-295, making Fleming Island a practical choice for military families, healthcare workers, and anyone who works in the greater Jacksonville metro but wants a quieter, suburban lifestyle.
From golf course estates to affordable starter homes — there's a neighborhood for every budget.
Fleming Island's premier community — golf course, marina, tennis, pools, and lakefront homesites. The most sought-after address on the island.
