Builder Overview

David Weekley Homes was founded in 1976 in Houston, Texas, and it remains a privately held company. That matters because the brand has had decades to build a reputation around construction quality, customer care, and a more polished production-build process than many buyers expect from a large-volume builder.

In Florida, David Weekley has a long-running presence in major growth markets, including Northeast Florida. In St. Johns County, the current lineup is concentrated in Nocatee and nearby Ponte Vedra sections where buyers want new single-family construction, modern floor plans, and a builder with enough scale to offer multiple lot sizes and plan collections.

The local appeal is pretty straightforward: this is a builder that usually lands between entry-level production and true custom. Buyers often come here for stronger plan design, a recognizable customer-service reputation, and a finished product that feels a little more considered in both layout and elevation style.

Communities in St. Johns County

David Weekley’s current St. Johns County footprint is concentrated around Seabrook and Reflections in Nocatee. Availability changes as homesites release and quick move-ins sell, but these are the communities buyers are most likely to see in the active lineup right now.

Nocatee

Seabrook Village 40′

From about $699,900

Seabrook Village is one of the more approachable David Weekley entry points locally. The product here is aimed at buyers who want a detached single-family home in Nocatee without jumping all the way into the builder’s biggest homesites.

  • Approx. 2,131–3,491 sq. ft.
  • Single-family homes on 40-foot homesites
  • Good entry point for buyers comparing layout, price, and newer finishes
Nocatee

Reflections at Seabrook 40′

From about $814,900

Ponte Vedra / Nocatee

Coral Ridge at Seabrook 80′

From about $1.2M

Coral Ridge is David Weekley’s larger-format play in this market. These homes sit on wider homesites, with bigger footprints, more garage and storage flexibility, and the kind of square footage buyers usually expect when they are shopping in the seven-figure range.

  • Approx. 3,289–4,755 sq. ft.
  • Single-family homes on 80-foot homesites
  • Best fit for buyers prioritizing scale, flexibility, and larger lots

Home Styles & Prices

In St. Johns County, David Weekley is currently focused on detached single-family homes rather than townhomes or condos. The local lineup starts around the high $600,000s and runs into the low $1 millions before lot premiums, design upgrades, and structural options push the final contract higher.

Floor plans in the current market roughly span from just over 2,100 square feet to about 4,700 square feet. That gives buyers a useful spread: more efficient 40-foot homesite plans at one end, and larger 80-foot homesite homes with expanded entertaining space, extra bedrooms, lofts, studies, bonus rooms, and stronger garage options at the other.

Stylistically, David Weekley tends to land in a practical sweet spot. The plans are modern enough to feel current, but not overly trendy. If you want open kitchens, flexible work-or-hobby space, stronger storage, and a builder that usually understands how people actually use a home day to day, this brand makes sense to put on the shortlist.

Why David Weekley

  • Long track record: Founded in 1976 and still privately held, David Weekley has the kind of operating history buyers often look for when comparing builder stability and consistency.
  • Clear local range: The St. Johns County lineup gives buyers multiple price bands and lot sizes inside the same brand, which makes it easier to compare 40-foot and 80-foot products without starting from scratch.
  • Design + customer-care reputation: David Weekley is widely known for thoughtful plan design and a customer-service-heavy approach, which is a big reason the builder keeps showing up on buyer shortlists in competitive Florida markets.

The tradeoff is that upgrades and lot premiums can move the total number fast. A good local agent helps you separate the advertised starting price from the real all-in cost.
