Historic homes next to the oldest city in America

Bordered by the Tolomato River, the waterfront community of North City is known for its natural beauty, laid-back feel and convenient proximity to Downtown St. Augustine. Named an official historic district in 2009, North City is home to the Castillo de San Marcos, the oldest masonry fort in the continental U.S., and the scenic Windward Camachee Cove, a full-service marina and yacht harbor. North City has thrived since the early 1900s, booming along with local tourism in the '20s and still growing today. According to Afton McCall, owner of local event planning business Soirees for Days, “St. Augustine residents aren't resistant to change, especially not local business owners who've been here for generations. We appreciate the new opportunities that growth brings.”

Flourishing front yards

Properties here date back to the early 1900s, offering a range of historic architecture from cozy single-story cottages and bungalows to multi-story Victorian builds on the water. No two homes are exactly alike in this neighborhood. Canopies of mature oaks arch over the roads on Nelmar Avenue, shielding homes from the bright Florida sun. Residents take good care of their yards, many maintaining lush green grass and flower gardens. Smaller, modest homes go for between $200,000 to $400,000, while multi-story waterfront homes go for between $1.5 to $3 million. North City is in a flood zone, so homebuyers will be required to purchase flood insurance.
