Have you heard of Reverie? It’s a line of 55+ communities built by Dream Finders Homes — and there are two of them right here in St. Johns County.
Both are gated. Both have great amenities. And both are built for people who are ready to stop maintaining a big house and start really enjoying life.
But they’re not the same. Each one has its own feel — and the right one for you depends on what you love to do and how you want to spend your days.
Let’s take a look at both.
Reverie at TrailMark — St. Augustine
Gated · Nature lover’s dream · Close to the river and the beach
Reverie at TrailMark is tucked into St. Johns County between the St. Johns River and the Atlantic Ocean. It’s not in the middle of busy St. Augustine, but it’s close enough to enjoy it. The area is quiet, green, and full of nature.
The heart of the community is The Lake House — a cozy 4,600-square-foot clubhouse right on the lake. It’s where people meet for coffee, play games, and hang out after a match on one of the six pickleball courts. There’s even an open-air Bier Garten — think a fun outdoor patio under big oak trees — perfect for relaxing with neighbors.
But the best part of TrailMark? You can kayak right from the community to the St. Johns River. There are also miles of walking and biking trails. If you love the outdoors, this place was made for you.
Homes start at $339,990 and range from about 1,479 to 3,077 square feet. There are 15 floor plans to pick from.
Best for: People who love nature, the water, and a smaller, tight-knit neighborhood where you know your neighbors.
Reverie at Silverleaf — St. Johns County
Gated · Golf cart friendly · No CDD fees · Family can live nearby
Reverie at Silverleaf has a unique perk — it sits inside the larger Silverleaf community. That means your kids or grandkids can live in the same neighborhood while you have your own private 55+ area. You get your space and your family close by. Best of both worlds.
There are also no CDD fees here. CDD fees are extra yearly costs that many Florida communities charge on top of HOA fees. Silverleaf doesn’t have them — and that can save you thousands of dollars every year.
The amenity center is being built right on a lake and will have a fitness center, a resort-style pool, and lots of places to gather. There are also six pickleball courts, walking trails, and a full-time staff member whose only job is to plan fun events and activities for residents.
One more thing people love here — golf carts. The whole community has paths made just for golf carts, so you can zip over to the pool, a neighbor’s house, or the clubhouse without ever getting in your car.
Homes range from 1,375 to 3,129 square feet, with an average price around $493,000. There are 15 floor plans to choose from.
Best for: People who want a bigger community, no extra CDD fees, golf cart living, and the ability to have family nearby.
So Which One Should You Pick?
Both are great. Both are in a great location. Both are built by the same trusted builder.
Here’s the simple way to think about it:
Pick TrailMark if you love being outside, near the water, and want a smaller community where you’ll really get to know your neighbors.
Pick Silverleaf if you want more space, more amenities, golf cart life, no CDD fees, and family close by.
I’ve helped buyers in both of these communities. I know them well — not just from the brochure, but from actually being there. I’d love to tell you what they’re really like and help you figure out which one is the better fit for you.
No pressure. Just a real conversation.
