Kings residents have dining destinations and easy commutes

Set about 6 miles southwest of Downtown St. Augustine, residents of Kings have access to shopping plazas and grocery stores along US-1; however, like much of the land west of the train tracks, they remain secluded from the city’s major population centers. “It’s convenient to just about everything,” says Dirk Schroader, a local real estate broker at Century 21 St. Augustine Properties with 40 years of experience. “You have restaurants and shopping, you’re close to Flagler Hospital, and you can even commute to Jacksonville on I-95.” The only disturbance to the peaceful vibe of Kings' streetscapes comes in the form of the occasional passing train along the neighborhood’s eastern border.

From ranch homes to New Traditionals, Kings has it

Homes in Kings range widely in price, age, and style. “There’s a broad spectrum of buyers,” Schroeder says. “There are lots of mobile homes as well as estate-size properties with as much as 5 acres.” Three-bedroom one-story cottages built in the 1920s with fenced-in yards can sell for $400,000, while ranch-style homes from the ‘70s with brick or stone exteriors can sell for $600,000. French Colonial Revival-style homes built in the ’90s tend to feature large grassy front lawns and winding driveways, selling for more than $700,000. For those looking for newly built properties, there are New Traditional-style bungalows and multi-story homes with attached garages and covered backyard patios that can sell for around $500,000. Large four-bedroom modern Craftsman and French Colonial Revival properties with backyard pools and sprawling front yards shaded by palm trees can sell for more than $1 million.
