Alford Farms and Palatka subdivisions

Looking for Alford Farms? Start on the East Palatka PUD file on SR 207 — rezoning approved, ERP issued, still in the county file. Need keys this year? Collection and Nobles are listed as selling.

Every project currently published. Pipeline is still in the county file. Watch-list items are unconfirmed. Selling means the builder lists homes for sale.

How to read a status: Concept is an idea. Rezoning is a county case. Selling means homes are listed for sale. Built-out is a finished community.

Alford Farms

SR 207 / Alford Road, East Palatka

As of a public-file review in August 2026, Alford Farms is still in engineering and environmental permitting. Putnam County approved an Agriculture-to-PUD rezoning on August 13, 2024 (Ordinance 2024-017, case PUD24-000004) for roughly 165 acres along SR 207 and Alford Road in East Palatka. The entitlement described up to 700 single-family homes plus about 60,000 square feet of commercial space, an amenity center, and a park. Later engineering materials (September 2025) show a 559-lot layout. D.R. Horton, Inc. is named as an agent in the county file. St. Johns River Water Management District file 224892-1 was received August 29, 2024. An RAI went out February 20, 2025; a partial response followed in June 2025.

Plat recordedPublic record

Fairway Estates

City of Palatka (Plat Book 7 / Page 17)

Fairway Estates is a City of Palatka subdivision. City Commission accepted the final plat on March 27, 2025 (Resolution 2025-R-32). The Putnam clerk shows Fairway Estates at Plat Book 7, Page 17 (section 13, township 10, range 26). Covenant docs in that Commission packet name A&M Home Builders, LLC. Lot count, streets, and utilities stay off this page until they are pulled from the plat PDF. Not listed as selling here. This is not Fairway Crossing — no clerk or CivicClerk hit under that name in this pack.

East River Road tract

Putnam County Blvd & East River Road, East Palatka

Community reports in 2025–2026 describe a second D.R. Horton subdivision of about 189 homes near Putnam County Boulevard and East River Road in East Palatka. Unlike Alford Farms, this report has not yet tied the report to a published PUD ordinance or SJRWMD file number. Treat the lot count and builder name as reported, not confirmed. The site is on the watch list so that when a case number appears in county agendas, it can be promoted to a confirmed record instead of disappearing into rumor.

ConceptWatch

Palatka riverfront infill

Downtown Palatka / St. Johns riverfront

Palatka’s historic riverfront is a different animal from East Palatka’s greenfield PUDs: smaller lots, older buildings, floodplain and historic-district constraints, and city rather than county process. There is no single 500-lot filing. This card exists so people moving here can see downtown housing as a live option — renovated cottages, occasional new construction, and commercial-to-residential reuse — without confusing it with Alford Farms. Check city building permits and the Community Redevelopment Agency for current filings; nothing here should be read as an approved master plan.

Built-outPublic record

American Gardens

East Palatka

American Gardens is an existing East Palatka neighborhood, not a greenfield subdivision. MLS and public-record compilations describe on the order of 200 homes with a very wide age range. It is on this report so buyers comparing “East Palatka” to Alford Farms can tell established streets from entitled dirt. Occasional infill or teardown-rebuilds show up as ordinary building permits, not a PUD. If you want new construction with a builder warranty, this is not that product; if you want to live in East Palatka now, it is part of the real inventory.
