Whats the scoop of living in Wild Heron?

Not sure what the future plans are but I just moved in here and it is very nice. It's also very relaxing and quiet. Everyone waves as you walk, bike or drive down the streets or trails. On top of that, if you like to golf, Shark's Tooth is one of the nicest golf courses around. The only negative that some people may mention is that it's a long way from hwy 98 but I would say that's a positive and the drive is relaxing.

Beautiful community and a great golf course (private course), very quiet as it is a long haul to the beach (good or bad depending on your reasons for living near the beach) so doesn't attract short term rentals. St. Joe purchased this development several years back.

We looked into Wild Heron a couple of years ago, but decided not to buy there due to what we thought were prohibitive HOA fees.

It is a real relaxing place to live, doesn't really get busy in the peak months either. Great for kayaking, Yolo boarding, fishing, ect. Also be aware there is a bond that must be payed off by the property owners and therefore the taxes are higher if you own.
