St. Augustine Historic District, the oldest city in the United States, boasts historic landmarks, quirky energy and proximity to beautiful beaches. Previously home to the Spanish, the English and pirates, this North Florida district is now both a thriving tourism hub and an established residential area.
St. Augustine Historic District residents have a rich, eclectic culture at their fingertips. From the storied Spanish architecture of the Lightner Museum to the First Friday local art shows held at Plaza de la Constitution, there are endless opportunities to enjoy the beauty and creativity the area offers. There are over a dozen museums in the district, such as the Pirate & Treasure Museum, and weekly events like the St. Augustine Farmer’s Market. Perched in the heart of the Historic District is Francis Field, a local gathering spot used for large open-air events and festivals.
The area also boasts a diverse local dining scene. Catch 27 is a favorite local restaurant that serves local seafood plates in a relaxing coastal ambiance, while The Prohibition Kitchen has a retro, early 1900s vibe and serves pub fare and decadent milkshakes. For groceries and retail shopping, residents can drive 3 miles south on Dixie Highway to land at stores like Publix and Walmart.
When it comes to enjoying the outdoors, St. Augustine residents are spoiled for choice. The A1A Scenic and Historic Coastal Byway stretches 2 miles across the Matanzas River to connect the St. Augustine Historic District to Vilano Beach. Here, residents can kick back, relax and enjoy the surf and sand stretching just under 4 miles. Another popular spot that draws crowds near and far is Anastasia Island, located just south of Vilano Beach. St. Augustine Historic District residents can take the famed Bridge of Lions to land on this laid-back barrier island, known for its 1,600-acre state park and white quartz sand beaches. Within the Historic District itself are several accessible recreation spaces. Ketterlinus Gym Community Center provides locals with basketball, volleyball and tennis courts, as well as a recently renovated playground.
The residential streets of St. Augustine Historic District are lined with paved sidewalks and palm trees. Colorful bungalows, cottages and ranch-style homes are common, typically perched on lots averaging a quarter-acre.

Homes in St. Augustine have a price range of $700,000 to $1.5 million, with some entering the market at upwards of $5 million.
"The neighborhood is a part of St. Johns County, the highest-performing school district in Florida. That's a significant attraction for parents, and one of the reasons homes don't stay on the market for long in the community," says Wally Sears, Realtor with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices who has been selling homes in the area for 5 years. The public Ketterlinus Elementary School earns an overall grade of A from Niche. Students may graduate on to Sebastian Middle, which earned a B+ from Niche, then head to the county's oldest public school, St. Augustine High.
