St. Augustine has been continuously inhabited since 1565, older than Jamestown by 42 years. The historic core (the 7-block Plaza district + St. George Street + the Castillo) is the most preserved Spanish-colonial urban fabric in the United States. Within a few miles: A1A beach corridor, the Anastasia Island state park, and the Vilano Beach inlet.

Median pricing sits roughly between Daytona Beach and Jacksonville Beach. Historic district homes carry the typical preservation-overlay premium; beachside condos behave like a separate market.

What makes it distinctive

Things that move the needle.

Historic preservation reality

The Historic Architectural Review Board governs everything from paint colors to window styles in the Plaza district. Plan an extra 6-12 weeks on any renovation permit.

Flagler College + cultural anchor

Heavy tourist foot traffic by St. George Street keeps short-term-rental yields high (where allowed).

Hurricane + flood

Coastal county; Castillo + the historic district have flood-zone exposure. Wind insurance premiums noticeably above non-coastal St. Johns inland.

Frequently asked

Common questions about St. Augustine.

Is St. Augustine more affordable than Vilano Beach or Crescent Beach?

Historic district properties run premium for the architecture. Vilano + Crescent are typically less expensive per square foot but lack the walkable culture. Beach condos in either area trade as a distinct segment.

Are short-term rentals allowed?

Mixed by district. Some historic-district properties are STR-permitted; others restricted. County rules + city overlays change frequently. Always verify with current ordinances + the specific property.

Median price and days on market are calculated from active listings across the whole city named on the figure, or this place where no other city is named, and they are a snapshot from the "as of" date above. Any prices in the guide's text are editorial and can differ. Numbers shift constantly in active markets, for the most current view of any specific property, ask the agent we match you with. We aim for honest, not flattering.

Verify school zoning for your specific address with the school district. Property tax estimates assume primary-residence homestead and standard millage rates as of the publish date.
