Living in Frederica
Capped at roughly 300 homes, making it one of the smaller, more exclusive gated communities on St. Simons Island. A separate, smaller 27-home gated enclave (Frederica Marsh Cottages) sits adjacent to the golf club as a sub-community. Housing includes both traditional homesites and larger estate parcels (Frederica Estates, reportedly 7-13 acres).
Lifestyle & Amenities
Marketing references an equestrian center, fine dining at the golf club, and boating/fishing amenities, though this session could not confirm whether the boating amenities belong to the main community or the separate Frederica Yacht Club sub-association.
