North Florida Home Builders selected two of the most desirable neighborhoods in the area to offer its new homes for sale. Jacksonville’s Worthington Park and Hunters Creek are single-family home communities located in the beautiful Fruit Cove and Julington Creek areas. Both offer a quiet, comfortable way of life away from the frenzied pace of the city.

Residents of Worthington Park in Fruit Cove and Hunters Creek in the Julington Creek area enjoy a small-town feel. Though Businessweek in 2010 named Fruit Cove the nation’s fastest-growing community, the unincorporated area located just across the Jacksonville line in St. Johns County retains its tranquil, family-centric character. And that controlled growth has helped Fruit Cove dodge many of the downfalls of the recent economic troubles. Julington Creek is a tributary of the St. Johns River and is the top rated relocation community in Northwest St. Johns County. Both Fruit Cove and Julington Creek are about a 25-minute drive from downtown Jacksonville to the north, historic St. Augustine to the south and the beautiful Atlantic coastline to the east.

Worthington Park amenities include a gated entrance, basketball court, playground, swimming pool, playfield and clubhouse. Hunters Creek is an intimate 10-lot community.  Both communities are within the highly rated St. Johns County school system. Residents have easy access to all of the retail and professional services in the Julington Creek and Mandarin areas. Additionally, Julington Creek Plantation offers fitness, tennis and swim memberships to the public.

The planning phase of building a new home is hands-down the most important part of the process – and the part in which the client has the most opportunity for input. North Florida Builders, a trusted Jacksonville Contractor for more than three decades, offers tips on choosing a custom home floor plan that’s perfect for you and your family.

A primary consideration is your lot’s natural landscape. If you have a narrow lot, you’ll want to consider a multi-level home to ensure adequate living space. Wider lots allow for broader, one-story house plans. And if your lot features a great view of a neighborhood park, a marsh or beach for instance, you’ll want to plan for large, panoramic windows and perhaps an outdoor deck, porch or balcony.

Your phase of life is a major factor in choosing the interior features of your home. A newlywed couple hoping to start a family will need a floor plan that allows for expansion as the family grows, whereas couples reaching retirement typically are looking to downsize to a smaller home that still features room for children and grandchildren to visit.

Entertaining also is a big consideration in Jacksonville. Contractors recommend lots of exterior deck and patio space for homeowners who love to throw parties for family, friends and colleagues. Formal dining rooms are great for those who prefer smaller, intimate gatherings.

Got a hobby that’s loud or messy? An off-to-the-side room  or even a detached structure will be perfect for your teenage future rock start’s drum practice or Dad’s woodworking projects. Homeowners who love to garden will want space for a wet room where they can clean up before going inside. You’ll need to check zoning and easement restrictions before planning a detached structure.

As a Jacksonville contractor with years of experience building homes that are both beautiful and practical, North  Florida Builders offers an array of fully customizable floor plans that can be built on any lot.
