Live in the nation’s oldest city, where centuries of history meet beaches, dining and a vibrant downtown.

Why People Love Living in St. Augustine

Few places in America offer what St. Augustine does: brick-lined streets, Spanish colonial architecture and Gilded Age landmarks, just minutes from Atlantic beaches. Residents enjoy a lively downtown full of restaurants, galleries and festivals, with a strong sense of community and a pace of life that still feels personal.

A City With Unmatched History

Founded on September 8, 1565, by Pedro Menéndez de Avilés, St. Augustine is the oldest continuously inhabited European-established settlement in the contiguous United States. The Castillo de San Marcos, completed in 1695, still stands guard over Matanzas Bay. In the 1880s, Henry Flagler transformed the city with the grand Hotel Ponce de Leon, now home to Flagler College, and the Hotel Alcazar, now the Lightner Museum. Today St. Augustine is the county seat of St. Johns County, with about 14,300 residents at the 2020 census.
