Every project we currently publish. Pipeline means it is not built-out. Watch-list items are reported or unconfirmed. If this page and a sales pitch disagree, use the county PDF.
How to read a status: Concept is an idea. Rezoning is a county case. Selling is a contract. Built-out is a finished community.

Alford Farms
SR 207 / Alford Road, East Palatka
As of public records through early 2026, Alford Farms is in engineering and environmental permitting — not selling homes. 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; that is not the same as a published grand opening. 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. No final plat recording or home-sale opening is confirmed in the records this tracker reviews. If a builder website lists the community, treat marketing as separate from county status.

Interlachen Lakes area
Interlachen, western Putnam County
Interlachen sits on the west side of Putnam County, a different housing market from the SR 207 commute toward St. Augustine. Neighborhoods such as Interlachen Lakes Estates still see lot and home sales at prices generally below Palatka and far below St. Johns County. There is no Alford-scale PUD here in our file. The entry exists because people “moving to Putnam” are often choosing among Palatka, East Palatka, Interlachen, Crescent City, and river towns like Welaka — and those are not interchangeable. Expect wells and septic on many lots, Clay Electric or FPL depending on the street, and a longer drive to Palatka services.

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 tracker 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.

Gilbert Road large tract
Gilbert Road, East Palatka
A roughly 1,300-acre rural property off Gilbert Road in East Palatka has been marketed as a large land assemblage. Local coverage in 2026 discussed possible data-center interest; listings have also pointed at nearby fiber and wastewater. Nothing in this tracker’s sources shows an approved residential PUD on this tract. It is here because a land-use change of this size would affect East Palatka traffic, utilities, and housing demand — not because homes are entitled. Status remains Concept / watch until a county application is filed.

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.

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 tracker 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.
