Lowe’s celebrated the opening of its new store at 480 County Road 210 W in St. Johns, Florida, in late August 2024. This addition plays a key role in supporting the growing Beachwalk community, offering a modern, full-service home improvement store to meet the needs of local residents and contractors.
Store Highlights and Features
The store, which spans 109,981 square feet, includes a 26,602-square-foot garden center. It provides a wide range of home improvement products and services. Conveniently located north of the Beachwalk Boulevard and Old County Road 210 intersection, this Lowe’s location ensures easy access for the growing residential and commercial developments in the area.
A Changing Landscape
The site of this Lowe’s has seen remarkable changes over the years. Historical imagery from the 1960s reveals a rural and undeveloped area. However, by the late 2010s, the construction of the Crystal Lagoon at Beachwalk by Twin Creeks Development began transforming the region into a bustling urban environment.
Today, Lowe’s stands as a testament to the area’s rapid growth, complementing nearby attractions and housing developments that define the Beachwalk community.
Strengthening the Community
Since its opening, the Lowe’s in St. Johns has become a favorite among locals. Reviews highlight the store’s well-organized layout, extensive inventory, and convenient location. Its presence also brings economic growth and job opportunities to the area, further enhancing the quality of life for residents.
As development continues in St. Johns County, Lowe’s remains a central part of the area’s story of transformation.
