What if I have a house to sell or I’m just not ready to build yet?

Pick out your homesite and start construction at a future date.

In our experience, most customers want to know where they are going to move before they put their current home on the market for sale. Now is the perfect time to secure your favorite location in Paradise Key South Beach for your dream home. South Beach Land Trust (SBLT) owns the property free and clear of mortgages, so ask about special Developer incentives for beginning construction sooner rather than later.

What if I have a preferred builder who I would like to have build my home?

Yes, you may bring your own builder. All the homesites in Paradise Key South Beach are protected by Covenants and Restrictions. Architectural building guidelines are outlined in the Build section of this website. These documents have been approved by the Planning Department of The City of Jacksonville Beach and are incorporated into the PUD (Planned Unit Development) for Paradise Key.

Paradise Key’s comprehensive Covenants and Restrictions, Pattern Book and the Architectural Review Board help ensure your builder has the information necessary to adhere to the architectural vision of the development.

What are my options if I don’t have a builder to work with?

Glenn Layton Homes is the preferred builder for Paradise Key South Beach. The team of Glenn Layton and John Harris have a long-standing reputation built on a foundation of superior customer service and uncompromising craftsmanship.

Is Paradise Key South Beach a “green” community?

While not designated as a true “green” community, the developers have a deep-rooted commitment to preserve the natural beauty of the area. Strict tree preservation, draught-tolerant indigenous landscaping, and an emphasis on minimal-impact architecture all help protect the coastal ecosystem that makes Paradise Key South Beach so unique.

What are the home sizes in Paradise Key?

The covenants and restrictions allow for single family residences with a minimum of 1800 square feet of air conditioned space.

The single entrance into the community discourages vehicular traffic. All of our streets were thoughtfully planned with cul-de-sacs enhanced by landscaped center islands.

Special construction considerations were granted to the Paradise Key South Beach development as part of the Planned Unit Development approved by the City of Jacksonville Beach. These considerations include:

• Greater lot coverage than elsewhere in Jacksonville Beach
• Family Suites can be built above the detached 2 or 3 car garage on many of the homesites.
• The height of your home can be up  to  42.5 feet, measured from the mid-point of the street to the highest point of the metal roof.  This allows for a 3^rd floor tower to be incorporated into your home design; perfect for porches or just a quiet place to get away from it all.

Does Paradise Key South Beach have Home Owner’s Association (HOA) or Community Development District (CDD) fees?

One of the most desirable aspects of this community is that there are no CDD fees and the HOA fees are considerably lower than other communities of this caliber.  One reason for this is that the streets are public and are primarily maintained by the City of Jacksonville Beach. There is a nominal HOA fee charged to owners.

How can I be assured the community will not fall into financial trouble?

Rest assured that South Beach Land Trust, the Developer for Paradise Key South Beach, owns the land free and clear of encumbrances.
