Amenities at Shearwater include a resort-style lagoon and lap pool with a clubhouse, fitness center and tennis courts.

Lennar has opened models and new floor plans for 80 single-family homes and 190 townhomes at Shearwater, a master-planned community in St. Johns County.

Fifty of the townhomes are offered at an “affordable” rate through a partnership with St. Johns County's affordable housing program, according to a news release.

Affordable townhomes will start in the low $300,000s, with price increases limited based on metrics determined by the county. Homes must be owner-occupied.
