Luxury Means Loving Where You Live at Seven Pines

In today’s ever-evolving world, our homes should be the one place we truly can be ourselves — centers of nourishment and comfort. We want to be happy with our floor plans and lots, and a huge part of that is where they’re located.

If you’re moving to northeast Florida, Jacksonville’s newest master-planned community — Seven Pines — is a great place to build your new life. It embodies the phrase “fresh start.” As the community readies for opening, we hope to guide you to a free start by counting down seven reasons why you should call Seven Pines home.

Our previous reasons include life (No. 1), love (No. 2) location (No. 3), land (No. 4) and laughter (No. 5). Reason No. 6 to consider Seven Pines for your new Florida home is luxury — specifically, the community attributes that contribute to a well-lived life.

Seven Pines’ location

Can’t beat it!

There’s a reason the community is coming to life on Jacksonville’s southeast side: it’s convenient to everywhere in this booming metropolis. You’ll find Seven Pines on the southeast quadrant of a major interstate interchange — I-295 and Butler Boulevard.

Nearby, a treasure trove of activities are convenient and fun. Shopping, dining, entertainment, recreational and educational resources are a short drive in every direction, not to mention glorious Atlantic beaches a few miles and minutes to the east of Seven Pines’ entrance.

Plus, I-295 is Jacksonville’s beltway, quickly whisking you in every direction.

A luxury of choices at Seven Pines

For this new master-planned community, “luxury” means all the elements you could want or need for a new Florida lifestyle. For many of us, that means top-notch resident amenities, location and superbly built homes. You get all of this at Seven Pines.

It’s a large community — 1,000 acres’ worth — but that means a wealth of room for wide, wonderful trails that roam the entire neighborhood. There’s also plenty of room for 1,600 single-family homes, plus apartments. And yes, you’ll find products and services right in your community thanks to the impending million square feet of retail and commercial space.

If you love where you live, you’ll love Seven Pines’ farmers market, and events and activities to enjoy with neighbors at the community’s central park — think conversations around cozy fire pits, movie nights and shops to pop in and out of for coffee and snacks.

Then, there’s the serenity. Seven Pines is surrounded by native coastal forests, and dotted with ponds and lakes for fishing, canoeing and kayaking.

Why Seven Pines is unique

Seven Pines is coming to life on acreage from Jacksonville’s longtime-resident Skinner family.

The community is a collaboration between ICI Homes and Houston-based David Weekley Homes. It’s being built with the Skinner family’s vision in mind, and its name pays homage to the family — Seven Pines for seven Skinner brothers!

Find Fun and Laughter at Jacksonville’s Seven Pines

Buying or building a new home is a busy and sometimes stressful process, so why not make it fun? Leaning into the experience can help you find the new Florida home you really want, plus a little laughter can go a long way.

We offer Seven Pines as an example. It’s our new master-planned community in southeast Jacksonville. And, as we ready it for opening, we’re counting down seven reasons why Seven Pines will be a fun place to call home.

We previously covered reasons one (life), two (love), three (location) and four (land). Now, reason five to consider Seven Pines for your new custom Florida home is laughter — or, all the fun you’ll have living there.

What Seven Pines is

It’s southeast Jacksonville’s newest master-planned community, located in the southeast quadrant of the Interstate 295-Butler Boulevard interchange.

Seven Pines’ size — a little over 1,000 acres — means plenty of room for 1,600 single-family homes, plus apartments. More than a million square feet of retail and commercial space will add to the community’s versatility.

Yet, even with a convenient location and meticulously planned neighborhood and amenities, Seven Pines is peacefully nestled amid northeast Florida’s pines, oaks and palms, a serene landscape punctuated by ponds and lakes that double as fishing holes.

Sounds fun to us!

Design fun

While “fun” might not be the first word you’d use to describe searching for a new Florida home, leaning into it is a great way to shift your mindset.

Seven Pines’ architectural styles will be new and innovative, while still echoing their coastal surroundings. But traditional touches also will be apparent, ensuring the community’s appearance remains timeless.

Expect floor plans in a plentiful variety of elevations (a home’s exterior design) and options. When you choose your Seven Pines home or homesite, take advantage of sales associates’ expertise and builders’ design teams to help you choose a floor plan or tweak one you like.

They can help make that process fun for you.

Participatory fun

Seven Pines’ amenities will be all about fun.

A 34-acre park anchors the community, punctuated by a lake bordered by a walking path. Expect all the perks of today’s master-planned communities — a residents club, gathering areas, and resort-style swimming pool, to name a few.

Miles of nature trails traverse Seven Pines’ woods and conservation areas. Nearby, residents can enjoy St. Johns Town Center, Jacksonville’s top shopping, dining and retail district, while Atlantic beaches are only a few miles east.

Sounds like fun to us!

Seven Pines Taking Shape on a Beautiful, Nurturing Landscape

When searching for a new Florida home, it’s tempting to prioritize a quick fit over a thoughtful choice, especially in today’s competitive residential housing market.

If you’re juggling these competing criteria, we promise that Seven Pines, one of the newest communities in Jacksonville, is worth the wait.

While we’re readying it for you to explore, we’re also counting down the seven reasons Seven Pines is a wonderful choice for your new Florida home.

In previous installments, reasons one, two and three were life, love and location, respectively.

Land is the fourth reason to build or buy in this special community. It’s a pristine tract southeast of Jacksonville where hundreds of new residents soon will come home to amazing natural beauty, amenities, and a location convenient to Atlantic beaches and all that the metro area offers.

Read on for more details.

Space to enjoy everything

Seven Pines is sited amid coastal forests thick with dark-green, namesake pines and other trees such as towering live oaks and palms. Glistening ponds and lakes teem with freshwater fishing possibilities, and the good news is that much of Seven Pines’ land will be conserved for future residents to enjoy.

At 1,000 acres, Seven Pines has room for thoughtfully designed homes and amenity facilities, and miles of walking paths and trails. The conservation areas also will remain an important home to local flora and fauna.

Did we mention convenience? We did, but it’s so important, we’re repeating ourselves.

You’ll find Seven Pines just southeast of the Interstate 295-Butler Boulevard intersection. The former is Jacksonville’s beltway, providing quick access to business, sports, cultural and artistic pursuits anywhere in the Jacksonville sphere. The latter will zip you a few miles east to any number of gorgeous, uncrowded Atlantic beaches.

Bonus: Butler Boulevard and I-295 both will take you directly to I-95, Florida’s main north-south traffic artery. Your choice, right at your neighborhood’s front door.

Timeless designs

As befitting a beautiful setting, Seven Pines is designed with community connections and Florida’s outdoor lifestyle in mind. 

Neighborhood streets are walkable and will be short strolls from Seven Pines’ village center. This includes every amenity you could want from today’s top master-planned communities, plus a 34-acre park that features a lake ringed by walking paths.

Expect new, contemporary residential building styles and floor plans. Seven Pines will contain 1,600 single-family homes, along with apartments. The convenience theme continues with more than one million square feet of future commercial and retail space.
