North City
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.Fresh seafood on San Marco Avenue
San Marco Avenue’s northern region is lined with local eateries like El Potro Mexican Restaurant, a casual go-to spot for authentic Mexican cuisine that serves up vegetarian and vegan friendly options. For a formal dinner, Catch 27 offers fresh, locally sourced seafood.

The 40-acre Fort Mose Historic State Park overlooks the Tolomato River, offering amenities like a birding boardwalk, picnic tables and an interactive museum; this was the site of the first legally sanctioned free African settlement in the country.
