HOA & CDD Info

No CDD Fee for Waterford Lakes at Silverleaf

Silverleaf is marketed community-wide as having no CDD (Community Development District) fees. This sets it apart from many other master-planned communities in St. Johns County. Buyers evaluating new homes for sale in Waterford Lakes at Silverleaf won’t have to worry about CDD fees at all. However, they should still budget for HOA dues.

Waterford Lakes at Silverleaf’s HOA dues, which are about $44 per month, fund the gated entrance, the neighborhood’s private amenity complex, pool, splash pad, and fitness center.
