Buying in Nocatee as a teacher, nurse, or first responder?

Community heroes -- teachers, nurses, first responders, and other public servants -- are a valued part of Northeast Florida, and many want to call Nocatee home. There are things worth knowing to make it work. Here is a guide.

Explore Programs and Loan Options

Various homebuyer assistance programs and loan options exist that community-service professionals may qualify for, depending on their situation and current offerings. It is worth exploring what is available, as the right program can improve affordability. A knowledgeable lender can identify options that fit your profession and circumstances.

Budget With the CDD in Mind

As with any Nocatee purchase, budget for the full cost -- including the CDD, HOA, taxes, and insurance -- not just the list price. Building the true monthly number ensures the home fits comfortably on your budget. This is especially important for buyers making the most of a public-service income.
