Thirty years is a long time in any industry. In residential and mixed-use development, it's long enough to watch neighborhoods rise, evolve, and — in the best cases — become the kind of places people never want to leave.
At The PARC Group, we've had a front-row seat to decades of change in how people think about home. We've watched buyer priorities shift, then shift again. We've seen trends arrive loudly and leave quietly. And through it all, we've learned to separate what buyers say they want from what they actually need to live well.
Here's what three decades of building premier communities has taught us.

Quick Comparison: Nocatee vs. eTown

Aventuur Press Release: Jacksonville, Florida (5 June 2025)

Global developer Aventuur and an experienced group of local partners have officially closed on a prime 45-acre site in Jacksonville, Florida for the company’s first surf park in the United States, marking a major milestone in its programmatic rollout of mixed-use surf, leisure and wellbeing destinations across North America. This milestone for the Jacksonville Surf Park coincides with the recent completion of a substantial equity fundraise, driven by Aventuur’s trusted general partners who brought together sophisticated local investors to enable the project’s development.

The PARC Group, master developer of eTown and Nocatee, has announced their newest community in Northeast Florida. EverRange is a new master planned community with an estimated 1,500 homes spanning 1,000 acres in Jacksonville, Florida. The community will have a charming rustic modern ambience and will be situated between Nocatee and eTown, off US-1. In the future, EverRange is planned to connect to The Exchange, eTown's Town Center.

As eTown continues to grow, current residents and guests can look forward to new businesses joining The Exchange, eTown's shopping & services hub. Three highly-anticipated additions that are coming-soon include: Baptist Health, GATE Petroleum Company, and Providence Homes' Corporate Office and Design Center.

The PARC Group is pleased to announce that builders are now selling in three new eTown neighborhoods! The smart-living eTown community will one day be home to nine distinct neighborhoods.
