“Bartram” and “Durbin” get used as if they were one neighborhood. They are not. Bartram Park is largely in Duval County (Jacksonville, often 32258). Durbin Crossing is a master-planned community in St. Johns County (32259), between Race Track Road and CR-210. Durbin Park (The Pavilion at Durbin Park) is the large retail/employment node on the St. Johns side of that line.
If you are relocating, this is one of the easiest places to buy the wrong county. The houses can look similar. The school district does not.

Who lives here
People who work the Southside / 9B / I-95 corridor and want a newer house than Mandarin’s 1970s stock. Families who chose St. Johns County School District and parked in Durbin Crossing for Patriot Oaks Academy and Creekside High (verify). Households that actually wanted Duval taxes and a Bartram Park address because the job is Town Center or Deerwood and they did not want a St. Johns CDD. Shoppers who already live their weekends at Durbin Park or St. Johns Town Center.
Military buyers assigned to NAS Jax sometimes look here and then leave when they drive the commute. This belt is a better fit for Southside and 9B jobs.
Why people move here
Durbin Crossing (St. Johns). A large master plan with a North Amenity Center and a South Amenity Center (pools, fitness, tennis/pickleball, playgrounds, fields). Amenities are operated through the Durbin Crossing Community Development District. HOA is typically mandatory on top of the CDD. Patriot Oaks Academy (public K-8) sits on Race Track Road in the community; Creekside High is the high school most people associate with this map. Confirm with the St. Johns County Attendance Zone Locator. St. Johns County lists Durbin Crossing Park at 345 Islesbrook Parkway.
Realtor marketing often cites very large acreage and conservation. Treat amenity access and the tax bill as the facts; treat brochure acreage as something to verify on district documents if it matters to you.
Bartram Park (Duval). Mixed-use / residential growth on the Jacksonville side of the line, with its own Bartram Park Community Development District (established 2005 by City of Jacksonville ordinance, Chapter 190). CDD meetings for FY2026 have been noticed at the Hampton Inn & Suites Jacksonville South – Bartram Park, 13950 Village Lake Circle, Jacksonville, FL 32258. Many addresses here are Duval County Public Schools, not St. Johns — that single fact is why this page exists.
Nearby St. Johns product (Bartram Ranch and similar names) can sit in the other county. The neighborhood word will not save you. The parcel will.
Durbin Park retail. Race Track Road / 9B / I-95 is the gravitational center. A St. Johns CDD (DP1) was created to fund infrastructure in the commercial development; shoppers may see a public infrastructure fee on taxable purchases inside that district (widely reported at 0.50 percent when the retail first opened — confirm current practice on a receipt, not on this website). UF Health has been building medical facilities at Durbin Park; published 2026 reporting described a medical office targeting summer 2026 and a hospital project on a later 2026 timeline. Construction timelines slip. Use them as “this corridor is gaining medical,” not as a closing date in your offer.
Commute. I-95, State Road 9B, Race Track Road, and I-295 shape the week. You can be close to everything and still sit still at school release. Bartram Park’s Duval addresses often feel closer to Town Center / Southside loops. Durbin Crossing’s week is Race Track + 210 + 9B.
What to know
County is the first filter. Duval vs. St. Johns changes schools, taxes, and some inspectors’ habits. Put county on the search, not just “Bartram.”
CDD is common on both sides, but they are different districts. Bartram Park CDD ≠ Durbin Crossing CDD ≠ DP1 (commercial Durbin Park). Assessments are parcel-specific. Request the tax bill and HOA/CDD estoppels.
Schools.
- Durbin Crossing / St. Johns side: St. Johns County School District locator.
- Bartram Park / Duval side: Duval County Public Schools locator.
Do not let a listing agent’s school name override the locator.
HOA. Expected in the master plans. Rules on parking, rentals, and exterior changes are not suggestions.
Flood / insurance. Ponds and drainage are part of the engineering. Flood is still FEMA-by-address. Insurance quotes before you chase a new roof’s cousin (a 2000s house with an original roof).
Growth noise. This corridor is not “done.” Road work, retail expansion, and medical construction are part of the soundtrack. If you want 1970s quiet, look at Mandarin or parts of San Jose.
How I work this line
We start with county and school. Then CDD/HOA. Then the actual merge you will take at 7:40 a.m. Only then do we argue about granite.
Nearby
Julington Creek / St. Johns is the older St. Johns master plan to the west. Nocatee is the other large St. Johns amenity machine, with a Ponte Vedra address and a different commute (9B / JTB / Nocatee Parkway).
