Waterbury by the Links
Waterbury is a neighborhood of 127 custom home sites which frame
the front nine (#2 through #8) of the King & Bear golf course.
The neighborhood showcases supreme golf course living and private
outdoor living opportunities facing conservation lands. The North
Gate of the King & Bear neighborhood is situated in the middle
of Waterbury, providing immediate, convenient access to the
neighborhood. The A-rated Ward's Creek Elementary School was opened
in 2009 right outside the entrance to Waterbury on land donated to
St. Johns County by World Golf Village. Inside the entranceway, one
of the most beautiful golf and lake vistas in the King & Bear
welcomes residents and guests at the north rotary, overlooking the
#4 fairway and the native Live Oak hammock.
Waterbury East, along Crown Drive, has 78 1/3 acre home sites
that are typically 95' to 105' wide by at least 150' deep. The
neighborhood has 34 lots adjacent the golf course which include up
to 3/4 mile vistas over the golf course. Lake-to-golf orientations
are a feature of 13 of the golf course lots. Many of the homes
include a second story with entertainment balconies to fully enjoy
views over the immense amount of surrounding open spaces. Waterbury
has a consistent street tree planting of Southern Live Oaks and a
trio of flowering Crape Myrtle in street islands. The
attention to landscape serves as a silver-thread of continuity,
allowing for a variety of personal choices and preferences to be
displayed in the residential architecture. Together the design
elements create a distinct neighborhood character and avoid a
cookie-cutter look.
Waterbury West, on Den Street, is the quiet complement to
Waterbury East. Den Street is a 2,300' long lane, punctuated with a
street island and ending in a cul-de-sac overlooking the forest
preserve. Waterbury West has 49 lots of similar size and
configuration as in Waterbury East; with 24 on the golf, 11 on
conservation lands and 14 on the park-like landscape.
