Durbin Crossing is a master-planned residential golf course community
located in North-west St. Johns County, directly south of Jacksonville.
The community will encompass 2,085 acres, and will include primarily
single-family neighborhoods, golf course neighborhoods, multi-family
development and a Village Center with shopping and services. Recently
Durbin Crossing went through the Development of Regional Impact planning process.
Current plans call for 1,550 single-family units, and 947 multi-family
units, including 470 multi-family clustered in a Village Center.
The Village Center includes 200,000 sq ft of commercial, office and
civic uses. Over 210 acres will be allocated to recreational uses,
including a golf course, neighborhood amenities, parks and regional
facilities. A K through 8th grade school is located in the community.
Plans for Durbin Crossing call for 158 acres of preserved uplands
and 835 acres of preserved wet-lands, which will be retained in their
natural state. Interwoven within these preserves will be sixteen neighborhood
pods that will allow easy access to all major reads, while remaining "rural" in nature. Durbin Crossing will provide needed residential
opportunities while preserving the country feel that is present in
the area today.
As with Aberdeen, Durbin Crossing, is planned to incorporate a Village Center, with institutional
and recreational facilities located in the immediate
vicinity. Neighbor-hoods away from the Village Center are served by
smaller neighborhood parks and community centers. The
commercial development serving the community is all concentrated in
the Village Center. The Aberdeen DRI was approved in
June 2003.
