Nestled in the Southwest corridor of St. Augustine, Windward Ranch is a gated neighborhood that strikes the perfect balance between resort‑style living and down‑to‑earth comfort. Surrounded by natural beauty, including nine lakes and woodland conservation areas, this is the kind of community that feels peaceful as soon as you drive in

What Makes It Great:
 
Homes & Lots: About 580 homes sit on lots roughly 63‑73 feet wide, many backing up to either lakes or protected woodland, giving you privacy and scenic views. 

Quality builder features: Many homes are built by Lennar and come with modern upgrades like 42‑inch kitchen cabinets, paver drives, and open floor plans. 

Amenities you’ll use: It’s not just a pool. Windward Ranch offers a full suite of perks: gated entry, clubhouse, fitness center, resort‑style pool with cabanas, playground, mini‑golf, pickleball & tennis courts, walking paths, and more. Great for families, active folks, or anyone who wants convenience, recreation, and standout common areas. 
 
Low fees, high value: One of the standout features is the lack of a CDD (Community Development District) fee, and HOA fees are relatively reasonable. For people watching their budget, that’s a plus.
 
Location & schools: Just minutes from I‑95, the World Golf Village, and the St. Augustine Outlet Mall.
 
Community Feel:
 
Windward Ranch isn’t just about the homes—it’s about people. The neighborhood has an active community committee organizing monthly events, neighborhood get‑togethers, and opportunities to connect. Many residents praise its safe, clean, friendly vibe. If you like the idea of knowing your neighbors (or at least waving as you see them), this might be your kind of place.
