1,000 new homes coming to St. Johns County, as part of new subdivision

Jacksonville, FL — Even more development is on the way for St. Johns County, as county commissioners have now approved a development expected to bring 1,000 new homes to the area.

The development called 'Entrada' will be built near the intersection of Wildwood Drive at State Road 207. Our partner Action News Jax says it combines land previously approved for three other subdivisions, dating back to 2006.

Neighbors tell Action News Jax, they're worried homes are popping up faster than the county can actually handle.

"I only work 10 miles away from here and it takes me 30 minutes to get home," says St. Johns County resident Corey Colee.

But we're learned the approved development does include adjustments for the intersection of Wildwood Drive and 207 to help accommodate the new families that will be moving in.
