Nocatee news with a bite.
The county's fastest-growing planned community — splash parks, new phases, and a commute that keeps getting longer.
Nocatee is what happens when a master-planned community grows faster than the roads leading into it. It is one of the fastest-selling communities in the country, it has its own water park, and it generates a genuinely impressive amount of neighborhood group chat.
We cover Nocatee the way residents experience it: the commute, the schools, the amenities, and the permanent negotiation between a planned community and the county it sits inside.
