New Homes for Sale in Hartford at SilverLeaf

Emerald Homes, a D.R. Horton company, built Hartford along Rosehill Court and Millerstone Drive, reached off Silver Forest Drive just south of County Road 210 and St. Johns Parkway. Floor plans here run one and two stories, from about 1,650 up to 2,200 square feet, with three to four bedrooms depending on the plan.

Hartford keeps its own amenity center rather than leaning on a shared SilverLeaf facility — a clubhouse, swimming pool, dog park, tennis and pickleball courts, a spray park and a tot lot. School-age kids are zoned for Wards Creek Elementary, Pacetti Bay Middle and Tocoi Creek High School, all inside a district that regularly ranks near the top in Florida.

Smart home technology comes standard on most floor plans, and natural gas service runs through the whole neighborhood. No CDD fee applies here, just Hartford's own HOA. Between the finished construction, the price point, and location near St. Johns Parkway, the homes for sale in Hartford tend to draw a mix of first-time buyers and people moving up from a smaller place.

Single-Family Homes for Sale in Hartford at SilverLeaf

Three and four bedrooms, one or two stories, roughly 1,650 to 2,200 square feet — that's the range Emerald Homes worked with when it built out Hartford. Every plan comes with a two-car garage, an open kitchen looking into the main living area, and smart home features built in rather than bolted on afterward.

Hartford's amenity center sits inside the neighborhood itself: a clubhouse, a pool, tennis and pickleball courts, a dog park, a spray park for younger kids, and an event pavilion. Rosehill Court and Millerstone Drive connect out to Silver Forest Drive, which puts St. Johns Parkway and County Road 210 within a few minutes' drive. There's no CDD assessment on top of the HOA, and Hartford's own association maintains the neighborhood's amenities and common areas.

Families with school-age children land in the Wards Creek Elementary, Pacetti Bay Middle and Tocoi Creek High School zone, part of a school district that consistently ranks among Florida's best. For buyers who want to buy or compare new homes for sale in Hartford against other SilverLeaf neighborhoods, the combination of finished construction and a self-contained amenity package tends to stand out.

Explore More SilverLeaf Neighborhoods

Few master-planned communities in St. Johns County have grown as fast as SilverLeaf. Jacksonville sits on one side, historic St. Augustine on the other, and everything in between — shopping, dining, healthcare, golf, parks, the roads that connect it all — stays within easy reach without SilverLeaf losing its quiet, residential character.

Amenities vary somewhat by neighborhood, but residents across SilverLeaf generally have access to resort-style pools, playgrounds, walking and biking trails, pickleball courts, sports fields, dog parks and a good amount of open green space. Floor plans and price points shift from one neighborhood to the next as well, since more than a dozen different builders have worked within the development over the years, so it's worth comparing more than one before deciding where to land.

St. Johns County's school district gets consistently high marks, which matters for the families SilverLeaf tends to attract, and getting around is straightforward thanks to quick access to Interstate 95, State Road 16 and County Road 210. Trying to compare SilverLeaf homes for sale across a handful of neighborhoods? The SilverLeaf community guide breaks down builders, amenities, schools and nearby attractions for each one.

Hartford Neighborhood Details

Lifestyle

A Finished Neighborhood With Its Own Amenity Center

By now, Hartford is fully built out — no construction dust, no half-finished lots, just a settled neighborhood inside SilverLeaf. That matters for anyone moving to Hartford and wanting day-to-day life to feel settled from the start: streets are complete, the amenity center has been open for a while, and the landscaping has had time to fill in. Rosehill Court and Millerstone Drive loop through the neighborhood and connect out to Silver Forest Drive, putting St. Johns Parkway and County Road 210 a short drive away in either direction.

Residents don't have to leave the neighborhood for much of anything on an average day — the clubhouse, pool, tennis and pickleball courts, dog park and spray park are all inside Hartford itself. When people do want to go further, Jacksonville and historic downtown St. Augustine are both within reach, and the neighborhood's own HOA, run separately from SilverLeaf's larger network, keeps things feeling more contained than some of the newer, still-developing sections of the community.

For buyers exploring Hartford homes for sale, that established setting can provide a meaningful advantage.

Hartford Amenities

A Clubhouse, Pool, Tennis Courts And More

Hartford's amenity package runs deeper than most SilverLeaf neighborhoods its size. There's a community clubhouse for events, a swimming pool, tennis courts and pickleball courts, a fenced dog park, a spray park for younger kids, a tot lot, and an event pavilion for anything that needs more room than the clubhouse offers.

All of it sits inside the neighborhood, so residents aren't driving across SilverLeaf to use a pool or book a court. Golf is close by too — a couple of courses sit within a short drive — and historic St. Augustine, with its beaches and downtown, makes for an easy day trip when residents want a change of scenery.

The amenity center also gives residents places to gather, play, and spend time outdoors without leaving the neighborhood. The swimming pool provides a convenient option for warm-weather recreation, while the tennis and pickleball courts support casual games and regular activity. Families with younger children have access to the spray park and tot lot, while the dog park gives pet owners a dedicated space for their dogs. The event pavilion and clubhouse add indoor and covered spaces for community gatherings and neighborhood activities.

For a neighborhood built around 200-some homesites, Hartford's amenity list punches a bit above its size.

Home Descriptions

One- And Two-Story Homes By Emerald Homes

Emerald Homes, D.R. Horton's brand for this part of St. Johns County, built every house in Hartford. Square footage runs from about 1,650 up to 2,200, with three to four bedrooms and two to two-and-a-half bathrooms depending on whether the plan is one story or two. Kitchens open onto the main living and dining space, which is fairly standard for newer construction but still makes a real difference for anyone who entertains.

Smart home technology — things like connected thermostats and video doorbells — comes built into most floor plans rather than added as an upgrade. Hartford is also a natural gas community, so ranges, water heaters and dryers typically run on gas rather than electric, which tends to save on utility bills over time. Exteriors mix stone accents and varied rooflines across the elevations, so the streetscape along Rosehill Court and Millerstone Drive doesn't read as one repeated design.

Every home carries a builder's warranty from D.R. Horton, standard for new construction of this type. Buyers comparing single-family homes for sale in Hartford can also see how the different floor plans and exterior elevations work within Hartford's established streetscape.

Schools

Zoned for Wards Creek, Pacetti Bay and Tocoi Creek

Three schools cover Hartford: Wards Creek Elementary for kindergarten through fifth grade, Pacetti Bay Middle for sixth through eighth, and Tocoi Creek High School for ninth through twelfth. All three fall under the St. Johns County School District, which holds a reputation as one of the stronger public school systems in Florida and consistently posts high marks on state testing.

Tocoi Creek, one of the newer high school campuses in the district, offers a fairly broad slate of academics, athletics and career-technical programs for older students. Families with younger kids aren't limited to public school either — St. Johns County has preschool and childcare options nearby, along with tutoring services and private school alternatives for anyone who wants them.

Hartford's own clubhouse and event pavilion also host informal gatherings that give kids in the neighborhood a place to know each other outside of school. As always, it's worth confirming current school assignments directly with the district before buying, since boundaries can shift as SilverLeaf continues to grow.

Together, these schools give families access to public education within the St. Johns County School District, which is an important consideration for households comparing Hartford homes for sale with other communities in the area.

HOA & CDD Fees

Its Own HOA, No CDD Fees

Hartford runs its own Homeowners Association rather than folding into SilverLeaf's larger master network, with dues that work out to roughly $129 a month. That covers landscaping in common areas, entrance upkeep, and maintaining the clubhouse, pool, courts, dog park, and spray park that make up the neighborhood's amenity center.

There's no CDD fee attached to Hartford — SilverLeaf as a whole was developed without Community Development District financing, which over the life of a mortgage can mean real savings compared to communities that layer a CDD assessment on top of HOA dues. Because those dues fund Hartford's own amenities rather than a shared SilverLeaf-wide package, residents tend to see a fairly direct return on what they pay each month.

Exterior projects — a new fence, a repaint, roof work — typically need sign-off from the HOA's architectural guidelines first, which helps keep the streetscape along Rosehill Court and Millerstone Drive looking consistent years after the last house was finished. Exact due amounts and current HOA policies are best confirmed directly with the association or a local agent, since figures can shift over time.

Buy a Home in Hartford at SilverLeaf

Considering a move to Hartford? The neighborhood is fully built out by Emerald Homes, with floor plans running roughly 1,650 to 2,200 square feet and three to four bedrooms — finished construction rather than an active build site. It sits inside SilverLeaf, off Silver Forest Drive, with St. Johns Parkway and County Road 210 nearby for commuting and errands.

Hartford has its own amenity center with a clubhouse, pool, tennis and pickleball courts, dog park and spray park. Families land in the Wards Creek Elementary, Pacetti Bay Middle and Tocoi Creek High School zone, and there's no CDD fee to worry about on top of the HOA.

Whether it's a first house, a move from out of state, or just something more settled than where you are now, buying a home in Hartford means moving into a neighborhood that's already established rather than waiting on construction to catch up.
