Semi-rural lots near the St. Johns River
Flagler Estates spreads across more than 6,000 acres of wooded residential lots in southwest St. Johns County, offering semi-rural seclusion a few minutes east of the St. Johns River and a half-hour drive to St. Augustine’s beaches and history-rich downtown. Laid out on a simple, numbered grid and shaded by mature pines and oaks, the community promises elbow room: every parcel measures at least one acre, with many stretching to two or three. “This is a rapidly growing middle-class area,” says Ray Feliciano of Florida Homes Realty & Mortgage. Once populated mostly by mobile homes, the neighborhood now sees a mix of new stick-built houses and updated double-wides, a shift Feliciano believes signals “the possibility of growing wealth and ownership.” Families value the top-rated St. Johns County schools, while anglers and boaters prize quick access to the river and nearby launches in Hastings. For residents, the draw is simple: tranquil country living, room to spread out, and easy drives to both Palatka’s farm stands and St. Augustine’s dining, culture and Atlantic shoreline.

Updated mobile homes
While the neighborhood still includes a number of manufactured houses, most of the new residential construction in recent years has been contemporary single-family dwellings equipped with paved driveways and attached garages. Builders have continued using the area’s generous lot sizes, so spacious yards remain the norm regardless of architectural style. Listing prices generally fall between $200,000 and $400,000, though an occasional multi-acre property—large enough for extras like horse stables—can command more. What began as a community of dirt roads now has mostly paved streets, a response to population growth, yet a recent hit-and-run involving a child at a bus stop has residents pushing for additional street lighting. Given the proximity of the river, moderate flood potential exists year-round, and from June through November the area also faces an elevated risk of wind damage during hurricane season.
Manufactured homes are the most popular housing in Flagler Estates.

Botanical garden and surrounding conservation land
Flagler Estates sits amid thousands of acres of public conservation land, giving residents a backyard buffer of longleaf pines, palmetto flats and marsh. Inside the community, Flagler Estates Park provides a shady playground, a short wooded trail and a horseshoe pit that doubles as a meet-up spot during weekend cookouts. Just west of the neighborhood line, the St. Johns Botanical Garden & Nature Preserve showcases native and exotic palms, cycads and bromeliads along mulched footpaths, offering guided walks and plant sales that draw gardeners from across the county. Together, the surrounding preserves, pocket park and living plant collection make outdoor time a daily option without leaving the local roads.

State Road 207 diners, riverfront seafood, St. Augustine big-box store
Flagler Estates has no retail core, so residents shop and dine mainly along State Road 207 in nearby East Palatka, Hastings and St. Augustine. Locals grab all-day breakfast or a patty melt at 207 Diner before stocking up on groceries at chain supermarkets and dollar stores clustered around Hastings and East Palatka. For fresh-caught fare, they head to Corky Bell’s Seafood at Gator Landing on the St. Johns River for fried catfish, shrimp and gator tail served with sunset water views. Bigger-box retailers, specialty markets and national chains line U.S. 1 and Interstate 95 in St. Augustine, while roadside farm stands sell seasonal produce such as potatoes, cabbage and Datil-pepper sauces that hint at the area’s agricultural roots.
Corky Bells in East Palakta is ready to serve you gator tail on the river, just a hop and a skip from Flagler Estates.
