Brand New & Upscale

Our spacious apartment homes at Cadence at Nocatee feature modern energy-efficient appliances, including washers and dryers, custom interior finishes designed with you in mind, and so much more.

Amenities: Unlike houses, most apartment complexes have a variety of amenities such as gyms, playgrounds, dog parks, carports or garages, recreational areas, game rooms, valet trash service and more. Some apartments have resort-style pools, barbecue areas and community clubhouses. Many apartments offer amenities such as high-end stainless-steel appliances in their kitchens, granite countertops or hardwood floors.

Safety: Many homeowners invest in home security systems, but when living in an apartment complex, your safety is amplified with multiple safety features. Many complexes are gated and require a passcode to even enter the complex. Some complexes have security guards or police officers that monitor the complex. The close proximity of neighbors, compared to being the only one in a house, provides a sense of security.

Apartment living can be some of the safest locations for people living alone, families and the elderly.

Location: There are generally more apartment options when looking in a specific area, compared to being limited to a specific number of homes if you were to buy a house. If you want to live closer to your job, it can be much easier to find an apartment complex. Developers tend to build apartments in areas that are adding restaurants, bars, shops and grocery stores.

Community: With neighbors close by it can be easy to develop a sense of community and grow connections in an apartment complex. Many apartments have community events like food truck nights, barbecues, holiday celebrations and more. Attending events such as these is a great way to meet your neighbors and make new friends.

Flexibility: When moving, it can be very stressful to commit to purchasing a home when you aren’t familiar with an area. Apartments allow newcomers to explore the area before committing to buying a home. Some complexes require year long leases, while others may allow shortterm leases and sometimes even month-to-month leases. This can help when learning the area, or for those who may be in town for a short amount of time for work. Renting also gives you the opportunity to move as often as you want. Relocating from an apartment is much easier than going through the steps of selling a home.

Finding the Right Neighborhood for You

When moving to the First Coast, it could take some time when exploring the different neighborhoods to find the perfect area that fulfills your needs and wants. Whether you’re looking for a beachside paradise, simple country views, a quaint historic neighborhood or a downtown loft, the First Coast’s five counties have many neighborhoods to choose from.

For those looking for an area filled with history, the Riverside and Avondale neighborhoods are some of the oldest in Jacksonville. These neighborhoods are full of a variety of shopping and dining options within walking or biking distance of many neighborhoods. Downtown Jacksonville offers many different apartments with views of the river and downtown skyline.

Jacksonville Beach, Fernandina Beach and St. Augustine are all perfect coastal options for those who like to walk out of their apartment and onto the beach.

The St. Johns Town Center area and Southside/Baymeadows area have many new apartment complexes that give residents a multitude of dining and shopping options. Many college students choose to live in these areas as Florida State College at Jacksonville and the University of North Florida are right around the corner.

Preparing for Your New Apartment

When exploring apartment options, start by touring complexes. Many apartments offer virtual tours on their websites as well as in person tours. It’s easiest to reach out to the complex beforehand to set an appointment for a tour with the apartment’s leasing office or landlord. Many apartment complexes won’t allow potential renters to tour without a valid form of ID, so make sure you have that available when visiting the complex. Make a list of questions you may have such as policies, maintenance, apartment amenities and lease terms.

Many apartment complexes require specifics from a potential renter before beginning the leasing process. The complex will have renters fill out an application and may require a proof of income or employment. Much of the time this means providing previous paystubs or your most current W-2. Many apartments require renters to meet specific income requirements to live in the complex. Some apartments ask for previous landlord’s contact to complete a background check. While not always required, some complexes require a renter’s insurance policy, which can cover you in a flood, fire or hurricane.

If you decide to bring your furry friend along with you, do your research to make sure it is a pet-friendly community. Renting does require upfront costs such as application,
