A changing community with deep roots
Founded in 1866 by Black freedmen, Lincolnville is a longstanding community in America's oldest city, St. Augustine. The downtown community has several landmarks, green spaces and marinas to explore the marshy waterways. "The area has fabulous restaurants within walking distance. There are lots of big oak trees and azaleas; it's a very lush, mature landscape," says Beverly O'Nell, a Realtor with CENTURY 21 St. Augustine Properties with over 16 years of real estate experience. "Lincolnville is very historic, with old homes that are close together." Many of the neighborhood's architectural gems have wideset porches and elevated balconies.
Although not an official historic preservation zone in St. Augustine, the neighborhood landed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991. Over the years, many of Lincolnville's oldest homes have been replaced with new constructions and vacation rentals to support tourism downtown. Some of these homes are a part of the ACCORD Freedom Trail, which highlights 31 historical markers demonstrating Lincolnville's involvement in the Civil Rights movement.

Parks named after local leaders
Dr. Robert B. Hayling Freedom Park rests at the southern tip of Lincolnville, where the Matanzas and San Sebastian rivers merge. The green space honors local civil rights leaders and showcases large wind chimes anchored near the marshy edge. Residents visit Eddie Vickers Park for the athletic fields and playgrounds. Locals pay an entrance fee to swim in the pool next to the community center, which the St. Augustine Family YMCA manages.

Walkable dining and The Corner Market
Most dining is concentrated between West King Street and Bridge Street. O'Nell recommends the Ice Plant Bar and St. Augustine Fish Camp. La Nouvelle Bistro is a new addition to the dining scene. The Corner Market, an establishment founded by formerly enslaved people, is a community staple and one of the few remaining from the area's past. The storefront used to serve as a barbershop and public library. But now, the store sells clothes, baked goods and a range of gourmet beet products. Across the San Sebastian River are several options for grocery shopping, including Publix and Target.

Celebrating the culture of Lincolnville
The Lincolnville Historic Preservation and Restoration Society is an active group of volunteers dedicated to maintaining the community's character. In addition to advocating for the preservation of longstanding buildings, the society's most significant outreach comes in the form of a three-day event. "We put on the Lincolnville Festival, it runs from Friday to Sunday in November. The festival started with a need to fix homes in the community. The festival has been going on since 1976, and the society took it over in 2017," says Madeline Wise, the organization's founder. The neighborhood has many other events throughout the year. Porch Fest showcases local artists performing intimate concerts on different front porches throughout the community. Others gather for the Jazz Festival and Juneteenth celebrations.

Historic homes, Airbnbs and new houses
Established residences include American Foursquare, Craftsman bungalows and minimal traditional styles. The community has several contemporary homes built over the last ten years. "Lincolnville is a great little neighborhood in the middle of downtown St. Augustine. It's an up-and-coming area that has a lot of Airbnbs," says Vicki Brown, a Realtor with Century 21 St. Augustine Properties, with over 30 years of real estate experience. Many longstanding homes have been lifted and replaced. Homes sell in the neighborhood within 94 days, compared to the national average of 42. "Pricing can range from $425,000 to over $5 million for a spacious bayfront estate," says O'Nell. Coastal living comes with severe flooding risks and potential damage from weather systems such as storms and hurricanes. The city developed a Stormwater Program in 2021 to help combat potential risks to Lincolnville.

Out and about on the roadways
Lincolnville has limited bus routes, aside from the Blue Line that runs near the college. "It's really a walking community. Whether it's to the historic district, Flagler College, or to work, people will be walking to get there," O'Nell says. Dixie Highway, also known as US-1, reaches across the coast. Interstate 95, about 10 miles away, brings drivers to the rest of the region. The area is about 35 miles from Jacksonville and 55 miles from Daytona Beach. The community has several houses of worship, including St. Paul AME Church and St. Benedict the Moor Catholic Church.
