The secret’s out about OakLeaf Plantation, one of the area’s largest master-planned communities, boasting some of the most spectacular amenities in the region. Developed by Jacksonville-based The Hutson Companies, OakLeaf Plantation has become one of the most exciting addresses in the city, making it the one of the fastest growing communities in 2003.
The major project was recognized at the Laurel Awards with the Grand Award.
Perfectly located in southern Duval and northern Clay Counties, adjacent to Jennings State Forest and nearby Cecil Commerce Center, OakLeaf Plantation encompasses more than 6,400 acres. With a magnificent array of amenities, OakLeaf is setting the standard for quality of life by which all other area communities will soon be judged.
The flagship of OakLeaf is its 30-acre, $6 million Athletic Center, complete with a 6,000 square foot clubhouse and fitness center, a family waterpark with a slide tower, sprayground, lagoon pool and junior Olympic-size lap pool. Also located at the center are athletic fields, playgrounds, tennis, basketball and volleyball courts and a field house for concessions.
Golfers will find an enjoyable challenge on OakLeaf’s 18-hole, championship golf course, which is scheduled for completion in the fall of next year. This project is being undertaken by East West Partners, developer of Eagle Harbor. The unique course will be adorned by century-old oak trees, pristine lakes and distinctive homes.
Families love the organized activities offered at OakLeaf Plantation, from youth sports managed by the YMCA, including soccer, flag football and swimming lessons, to the community’s monthly events and parties. The adults of the community are getting in on the action also, with organized sand volleyball every Sunday afternoon.
The residences at OakLeaf are as diverse as its activities. The unique, village-style neighborhoods within OakLeaf Plantation feature single-family homes and condominiums by some of northeast Florida’s finest builders. Ranging in price from the $110’s to the $500’s, OakLeaf’s builders can accommodate almost any family’s taste, space needs and budget. Each of the subdivisions within OakLeaf has its own distinct personality and character, in addition to access to its own neighborhood park nearby.
OakLeaf Plantation was strategically planned with connectivity in mind so that families don’t have to drive far for groceries, pharmaceuticals, schools, worship, fitness, restaurants and entertainment. In fact, residents can walk, bicycle or rollerblade to much of these choices along OakLeaf’s 15 miles of pedestrian and bike pathways. Making things even more convenient for residents, OakLeaf plans call for two retail village centers, five new schools, a library and a regional mall site.
OakLeaf Plantation is a community planned around traditional values. Where people know their neighbors and where families are planting the many seeds that make up a lifetime of memories. For people looking to return to a more satisfying life, offering value, convenience and nature’s best in a true, flourishing community, there is no better place to call home than OakLeaf Plantation.
