Nocatee is a master-planned community primarily in St. Johns County, immediately south of Jacksonville's Southside; it's often included in the Jacksonville-area housing market.

River-adjacent and low-lying Jacksonville neighborhoods can fall within FEMA flood zones even well inland from the coast, since the St. Johns River and its tributaries create flood risk beyond the immediate ocean-facing areas.
